We recommend scheduling your car shipment from Lenoir, NC 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 often offer lower rates
• More carrier options: You’ll have access to more available drivers in the Lenoir area
• Flexible scheduling: You can choose pickup dates that work best for you
• Route optimization: Carriers can combine your vehicle with other shipments heading the same direction

If you need faster service, we also offer expedited shipping with pickup possible in as little as 24-48 hours, though this costs more.

For the smoothest experience from Lenoir, book 2-4 weeks ahead when possible. This is especially important during peak moving seasons like summer and the end of each month.

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 affordable option. Your vehicle is shipped on an open-air trailer alongside other cars. It’s safe, reliable, and costs less—perfect for most standard vehicles.

Enclosed auto transport protects your car inside a covered trailer, shielding it from weather and road debris. This option costs 40-60% more but is ideal for luxury cars, classics, or custom vehicles that need extra protection.

For most Lenoir residents shipping everyday vehicles, open transport works great. Choose enclosed if you’re moving a high-value car or want maximum protection. Learn more in our open vs enclosed auto transport guide.

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.
