West Palm Beach, FL Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from West Palm Beach, FL is simple but important. Start by removing all personal items, including toll passes, GPS devices, and any loose accessories. Clean your car inside and out – this helps you spot any existing damage during the inspection.

Make sure your gas tank is only 1/4 full and disable any car alarms. Remove or secure loose parts like spoilers, bike racks, or antenna extensions. Take photos of your vehicle from all angles before pickup to document its condition.

Have a spare key ready for the driver and ensure your car is in good working order. For complete preparation details, check our Vehicle Shipping Tips page. Following these steps will ensure smooth pickup from West Palm Beach and safe delivery to your destination.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured during transport from West Palm Beach, FL. Every carrier in our network must carry at least $1,000,000 in liability insurance and $100,000 in cargo insurance.

Before your West Palm Beach car shipment begins, we verify that your carrier’s insurance is active and valid. We also require all carriers to list Sherpa Auto Transport as a Certificate Holder on their policy for added protection.

This means your vehicle is covered from pickup in West Palm Beach until delivery at your destination. You can ship with confidence knowing your car is protected throughout the entire journey.

For car shipping from West Palm Beach, FL, we recommend scheduling your pickup at least 2-3 weeks in advance. However, booking earlier gives you better options and pricing.

Here’s why advance booking helps:

• Better carrier availability: More transport trucks travel through West Palm Beach during peak seasons
• Lower costs: Carriers can group your car with other vehicles heading the same direction
• Flexible pickup windows: You’ll have more scheduling options that work with your timeline

If you need last-minute shipping (less than one week), we can still help, but expect higher prices and fewer carrier options. During busy moving seasons (summer and early fall), book even earlier if possible.

Pro tip: Contact us as soon as you know your moving dates. We’ll help you find the best carrier and pricing for your West Palm Beach car shipment.

No payment is due at the time of booking. We do require a payment method on file so that it is available to charge once a carrier is secured. We accept all major debit and credit cards, including Mastercard, Visa, Discover and American Express. The most convenient option is to pay for your shipment in full by credit card at the time a carrier is secured.

We also allow you to pay for your Initial Payment via credit or debit card and then pay the outstanding balance on delivery day via cash or a certified check made out to the carrier.

Your Sherpa shipment includes up to 100 lbs of personal items or household goods stored in the trunk area or secured below the window line. If you are shipping to or from a port or your shipment includes ocean transit, your vehicle must be emptied of all items. Sherpa and your assigned carrier cannot be responsible for personal items left inside the vehicle. See our Vehicle Shipping Tips for more details.

Yes. It is important that you, or another adult that you trust, is there for pickup and delivery of your vehicle. This designated person plays an important role in the shipping process including documenting the state of the vehicle and signing the Bill of Lading, which acts as a receipt of the vehicle’s condition.

Open auto transport uses open trailers where your car is exposed to weather and road debris. It’s the most common and affordable option, costing about 50% less than enclosed transport.

Enclosed auto transport protects your vehicle inside a covered trailer, shielding it from weather, dust, and road debris. This premium service costs more but offers maximum protection.

Choose open transport if: You have a standard daily driver and want to save money. Most cars ship safely this way from West Palm Beach.

Choose enclosed transport if: You own a luxury car, classic vehicle, exotic sports car, or any car with custom paint or modifications that you can’t risk damaging.

Given West Palm Beach’s coastal location, enclosed transport can also protect against salt air during the first part of your shipment. See our complete open vs enclosed auto transport guide for more details.

Yes, we offer door-to-door auto transport service for West Palm Beach customers. This means we pick up your car from your home, office, or any address you choose and deliver it directly to your destination.

When you book your shipment, simply provide your preferred pickup and delivery addresses. Our carrier will come right to your location in West Palm Beach to collect your vehicle. If your street has restrictions like low-hanging branches, narrow roads, or weight limits for large trucks, don’t worry.

Door-to-door service saves you time and hassle. You won’t need to drive to a terminal or arrange extra transportation. It’s our most popular service because it’s convenient and stress-free.

Many Auto Transport companies try to tease customers with lower rates, only to surprise you with “hidden costs” later. At Sherpa Auto Transport, we do things differently. We provide one locked-in price upfront and stick to it. If unexpected costs arise, we pay them out of our own pocket.

While we may not always be the cheapest option at first glance, our commitment to transparency and reliability offers exceptional value. As a premium service, we ensure an stress-free experience from start to finish.

We transport sedans, SUVs, pickup trucks, vans and motorcycles across the nation, including service to Alaska and Hawaii. At this time, we do not service boats, golf carts, ATVs, or RVs. We can ship both operable and inoperable vehicles so long as the vehicle can roll, brake, and steer, and that you can provide the carrier with a key to the vehicle. We can also ship electric vehicles.
