Getting your car ready for shipping from Florida to Georgia is simple. Here’s what you need to do:

Remove personal items: Take out all belongings, including toll passes, GPS devices, and anything loose that could move during transport.

Clean your vehicle: Wash your car inside and out. This helps you spot any existing damage during the inspection.

Check fluids and battery: Make sure your car has enough gas (about 1/4 tank), oil, and brake fluid. Your battery should be secure and working.

Document existing damage: Take photos of any scratches, dents, or other issues before shipping.

Prepare keys: Have a spare key ready for the driver. Keep one set for yourself.

Remove accessories: Take off custom parts, bike racks, or anything that could fall off during transport.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured during transport from Florida to Georgia. All Sherpa Auto Transport carriers must carry a minimum of $1,000,000 in liability insurance and $100,000 in cargo insurance.

Before your car ships, 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 throughout your Florida to Georgia shipment.

Your vehicle is covered from pickup to delivery. If you need proof of insurance or have questions about coverage, our team can provide documentation at any time.

We recommend scheduling your car pickup from Florida at least 1-2 weeks in advance. However, booking earlier gives you better options and potentially lower rates.

Here’s why advance booking helps:

• Better carrier availability – More drivers can fit your shipment into their routes
• Lower costs – Carriers can bundle multiple vehicles from the same area
• Flexible scheduling – You get more pickup date options that work for you

For the Florida to Georgia route, which is popular and relatively short, you might find carriers with shorter notice. But planning ahead ensures a smoother experience and better service.

Pro tip: If you’re moving during peak season (summer months), book 3-4 weeks early for the best results.

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 cost-effective option. Your car rides on an open trailer alongside other vehicles. It’s safe and reliable for most cars, but your vehicle is exposed to weather and road debris during the Florida to Georgia journey.

Enclosed transport costs 40-60% more but provides complete protection. Your car travels inside a covered trailer, shielded from weather, dust, and debris. This is ideal for luxury cars, classics, or vehicles with custom paint jobs.

For most Florida to Georgia moves, open transport works perfectly fine. The route is relatively short (usually 1-3 days), and weather conditions are generally mild. Choose enclosed transport if your vehicle is worth over $50,000 or has sentimental value you can’t replace. See our complete open vs enclosed guide for more details.

Yes, we offer door-to-door auto transport service from Florida to Georgia. This means we pick up your car from your home, office, or any address you choose in Florida and deliver it directly to your preferred location in Georgia.

Here’s how it works: When you book your shipment, simply tell us your pickup address in Florida and delivery address in Georgia. Our carrier will come to both locations to handle your vehicle. This saves you time and hassle – no need to drive to a terminal or depot.

In rare cases where large trucks can’t access your exact address (like narrow streets or low bridges), our driver will work with you to find a safe, nearby spot like a shopping center or gas station. We always coordinate with you first to make sure the location works for your schedule.

Door-to-door service is included in most of our Florida to Georgia shipping quotes at no extra cost. It’s the most popular option because it offers maximum convenience for your move between these two states.

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.
