Zephyrhills, FL Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Zephyrhills, FL is simple but important. First, remove all personal items from inside your car – this includes toll passes, GPS devices, and any loose items that could shift during transit. Next, clean your vehicle inside and out so you can easily spot any damage during inspection.

Make sure your car has less than a quarter tank of gas to reduce weight and meet safety requirements. Remove or secure any exterior accessories like bike racks, spoilers, or antennas that could be damaged. Don’t forget to disable your car alarm and provide a working key to the driver.

Finally, document your car’s condition with photos before pickup. For complete preparation details, check our Vehicle Shipping Tips guide. Following these steps will ensure smooth transport from Zephyrhills to your destination.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping from Zephyrhills, FL with Sherpa Auto Transport.

Every carrier in our network must carry:

• $1,000,000 in liability insurance – covers damage to other vehicles and property
• $100,000 in cargo insurance – protects your specific vehicle during transport

Before your Zephyrhills pickup, we verify that your carrier’s insurance is active and valid. We also require all carriers to add Sherpa as a Certificate Holder on their policy. This gives you extra protection and peace of mind.

Your insurance coverage stays active from pickup in Zephyrhills until delivery at your destination. No hidden fees – this protection is included in every quote.

For car shipping from Zephyrhills, FL, we recommend booking at least 2-3 weeks in advance. This gives you the best chance to secure competitive rates and reliable service.

Here’s why early booking matters:

• Better pricing: Carriers can plan efficient routes and bundle multiple vehicles
• More options: You’ll have access to more available carriers and pickup dates
• Less stress: Avoid last-minute rush fees and limited availability

If you need faster service, we offer expedited shipping with 2-7 days notice, though this typically costs more. During peak seasons (summer and winter months), book even earlier if possible.

Pro tip: Have flexible pickup dates? You’ll often get better rates and faster service when carriers can work around their existing routes through the Tampa Bay area.

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 transport is the most common and budget-friendly option where your car is loaded onto an open trailer with other vehicles. Your car is exposed to weather and road debris, but it’s perfectly safe for most everyday vehicles.

Enclosed transport costs about 50-60% more but provides full protection inside a covered trailer. This is ideal for luxury cars, classic vehicles, or cars with custom paint jobs that need extra protection from Florida’s intense sun and frequent rain.

For most Zephyrhills residents shipping standard vehicles, open transport works great and saves money. Choose enclosed transport if your car is worth over $50,000 or has special value to you. See our complete open vs enclosed auto transport guide for detailed comparisons and pricing.

When you book your car shipment, simply provide your preferred pickup and delivery addresses. Our carrier will do their best to reach these exact locations. However, in Zephyrhills and surrounding areas, some residential streets may have restrictions for large transport trucks due to low-hanging branches, narrow roads, or tight turns.

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.
