Havelock, NC Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Havelock, NC is simple but important. First, remove all personal items from inside your car – this includes toll passes, GPS devices, phone chargers, and any loose items that could shift during transport.

Next, clean your vehicle inside and out. This helps you spot any existing damage before shipping. Take photos of your car from all angles as documentation.

Check fluid levels and tire pressure, but don’t overfill the gas tank – keep it at about 1/4 full. Remove or secure any loose exterior parts like spoilers, bike racks, or antenna toppers.

Finally, have a working key ready for the carrier and disable your car alarm to avoid issues during loading. For complete preparation details, visit our Vehicle Shipping Tips page.

Following these steps ensures your car ships safely from Havelock, NC to your destination.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping from Havelock, NC. All Sherpa Auto Transport carriers must carry at least $1,000,000 in liability insurance and $100,000 in cargo insurance.

Before we assign your Havelock vehicle shipment, we verify that:

• The carrier’s insurance is active and valid
• Coverage remains in effect for your entire shipment
• Sherpa is listed as a Certificate Holder on their policy

This means you have protection from pickup in Havelock through delivery at your destination. Our insurance requirements exceed industry standards to give you peace of mind during transport.

Important: While carriers provide comprehensive coverage, we recommend reviewing your auto insurance policy before shipping. Some personal policies offer additional protection during transport.

For car shipping from Havelock, NC, we recommend booking your pickup at least 2-3 weeks in advance. This gives carriers enough time to plan efficient routes and bundle your vehicle with other shipments in the area.

Havelock is a smaller city, so advance notice helps ensure smooth pickup scheduling. During busy seasons like summer and early fall, consider booking 3-4 weeks ahead for the best rates and availability.

Booking early also gives you more carrier options and flexible pickup windows. Last-minute bookings often cost more and may face delays, especially from smaller markets like Havelock.

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 much 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 debris.

Choose enclosed transport if you have:

• Classic or luxury cars
• Custom paint jobs
• High-value vehicles
• Cars needing extra protection

For most everyday vehicles shipping to or from Havelock, NC, open transport works great and saves money. See our complete open vs enclosed guide to help you decide what’s best for your car.
