Zephyrhills, FL Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Zephyrhills, FL is simple. Follow these key steps:

Remove personal items: Take out all belongings, toll passes, and loose items from the interior. Carriers typically don’t insure personal property.

Clean your vehicle: Wash the exterior so you can document any existing damage with photos before shipping.

Check for leaks and mechanical issues: Make sure your car runs properly. Fix any fluid leaks and ensure the battery is charged.

Secure or remove accessories: Remove or secure antennas, spoilers, bike racks, and other external accessories that could be damaged during transit.

Maintain proper fuel level: Keep your gas tank about 1/4 full. This reduces weight while ensuring the carrier can load and unload your vehicle.

Provide a working key: Have a spare key ready to give the driver for loading and unloading.

Disable alarms: Turn off your car alarm to avoid issues during transport.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured during transport from Zephyrhills, FL. All our carriers must carry a minimum of $1,000,000 in liability insurance and $100,000 in cargo insurance.

Before your shipment, we verify that the carrier’s insurance is valid and current. This protection covers your vehicle throughout the entire journey from pickup in Zephyrhills to final delivery.

For added security, all contracted carriers list Sherpa Auto Transport as a Certificate Holder on their insurance policy. This means we monitor coverage directly to ensure your vehicle stays protected.

Our quotes include this insurance coverage at no extra cost to you.

We recommend scheduling your car pickup from Zephyrhills, FL at least 1-2 weeks in advance. However, booking earlier gives you the best results.

Here’s why early booking helps:

• Better pricing: Carriers can plan routes more efficiently and offer competitive rates
• More availability: You’ll have more carrier options to choose from
• Flexible timing: You can pick dates that work best for your schedule

If you need faster service, we offer expedited shipping with as little as 24-48 hours notice. Keep in mind that rush orders typically cost more.

The bottom line: book as soon as you know your moving dates. This helps carriers bundle your shipment with others heading the same direction, which saves you money and ensures timely pickup.

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-air trailers that carry multiple vehicles at once. Your car is exposed to weather and road elements, but it’s the most affordable and popular option. Most vehicles ship this way safely.

Enclosed auto transport uses covered trailers that protect your vehicle from weather, dust, and debris. It costs 40-60% more than open transport but offers maximum protection.

Choose open transport if: You have a standard daily driver and want the best value. It’s safe, reliable, and used for 90% of shipments.

Choose enclosed transport if: You own a luxury car, classic vehicle, exotic sports car, or have custom paint work. The extra cost is worth it for high-value vehicles.

Both options are fully insured. For Zephyrhills residents, weather is rarely an issue with open transport. Learn more in our open vs enclosed auto transport guide.

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 also ship electric vehicles.
