Clemmons, NC Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Clemmons, NC 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 transport.

Next, clean your vehicle inside and out. This helps you spot any existing damage and makes the inspection process smoother. Take photos of your car from all angles before pickup.

Check your fluids and battery. Make sure your car has enough gas (about 1/4 tank) and that the battery works well. Your car needs to start and drive onto the carrier truck.

Remove or secure exterior items like bike racks, spoilers, or antennas that could get damaged. If you can’t remove them, let your carrier know ahead of time.

Finally, have your keys ready and make sure at least one person will be available during the pickup window in Clemmons. For more detailed tips, check our Vehicle Shipping Tips page.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping from Clemmons, NC. Every carrier in our network must carry at least $1,000,000 in liability insurance and $100,000 in cargo insurance.

Before we assign your Clemmons car shipment, we verify that the carrier’s insurance is current and valid. We also require all carriers to add Sherpa as a Certificate Holder on their policy, giving you extra protection.

This insurance coverage is included in your quote at no extra cost. Your vehicle is protected from pickup in Clemmons through delivery at your destination.

For car shipping from Clemmons, NC, we recommend booking your pickup service at least 1-2 weeks in advance. However, scheduling earlier gives you better options and pricing.

Here’s why advance booking helps:

• Better carrier availability – More transport trucks service your route
• Lower costs – Carriers can bundle your car with other vehicles heading the same direction
• Flexible scheduling – You get more pickup date options that work for your timeline

During busy seasons (summer months and winter holidays), book 3-4 weeks ahead when possible. If you need last-minute service, we can often accommodate rush orders, but expect higher rates and limited scheduling options.

The key is giving carriers enough time to plan efficient routes through the Clemmons area and match your shipment with others.

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 is the most common and budget-friendly option. Your car travels on an open trailer alongside other vehicles, exposed to weather and road debris. It’s safe and reliable for most everyday cars.

Enclosed auto transport protects your vehicle inside a covered trailer. This costs 40-60% more than open transport but shields your car from weather, dust, and road debris.

Choose enclosed transport if you have:

• Classic or vintage cars
• Luxury vehicles over $100,000
• Custom paint jobs or modifications
• Convertibles with soft tops

For most standard vehicles shipping to or from Clemmons, NC, open transport works perfectly fine. However, if your car has special value or you want maximum protection, enclosed transport is worth the extra cost. See our complete open vs enclosed guide for more details.

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.
