Rocky Mount, NC Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transit from Rocky Mount, NC is simple but important. Here’s what you need to do:

Remove personal items: Take out all belongings, including toll passes, GPS devices, and fragile items. Carriers are not responsible for personal property left in vehicles.

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

Check fluids and battery: Ensure your car has enough gas (about 1/4 tank), oil, and brake fluid. Make sure your battery is charged and secure.

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

Have keys ready: Provide one set of working keys to the driver. Keep a spare for yourself.

Document condition: Take photos of your car from all angles before pickup.

• Better pricing: Carriers can plan routes more efficiently
• More options: You’ll have access to more available transport dates

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. Your car rides on an open trailer, exposed to weather and road debris. It’s safe for most vehicles and costs significantly less.

Enclosed transport protects your car inside a covered trailer. It costs 40-60% more than open transport but shields your vehicle from weather, dust, and road debris. This option is ideal for luxury cars, classic vehicles, or cars with custom paint jobs.

For most Rocky Mount residents shipping standard vehicles, open transport works perfectly fine. Choose enclosed transport if your car is worth over $50,000 or has sentimental value you can’t replace. See our complete open vs enclosed guide for detailed comparisons and pricing.

Yes, Sherpa Auto Transport offers convenient door-to-door auto transport service for Rocky Mount, NC residents. This means we pick up your vehicle from your home, office, or any address you choose and deliver it directly to your destination.

When you book your car shipment, simply provide us with your preferred pickup and delivery addresses. Our experienced carriers will do their best to reach these exact locations. However, if your street has restrictions like low-hanging branches, narrow roads, or weight limits that prevent our large transport trucks from safely accessing your location, we’ll work with you to find a nearby alternative spot such as a shopping center, gas station, or open parking lot.

Door-to-door service saves you time and hassle compared to terminal-to-terminal shipping. You won’t need to drive to a distant facility or arrange extra transportation. This service is especially popular with Rocky Mount customers who want maximum convenience for their vehicle transport needs.

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.
