Eden, NC Car Shipping

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

Clean your car: Wash the exterior so you can spot any damage before shipping. Take photos of your vehicle from all angles.

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

Check fluids and battery: Ensure your car has less than a quarter tank of gas, check that the battery works, and top off other fluids.

Secure loose parts: Remove or secure antennas, spoilers, and other exterior accessories that could get damaged during transport.

Have keys ready: Make sure you have working keys to give the driver for loading and unloading.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping from Eden, 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 Eden car shipment, we check that your carrier’s insurance is current and valid. We also require all carriers to list Sherpa as a Certificate Holder on their policy. This gives you extra protection during transport.

Your vehicle is covered from pickup in Eden through delivery at your destination. If you have questions about coverage, our team can explain the details and provide insurance documents before your shipment begins.

For car shipping from Eden, NC, we recommend booking your pickup service at least 2-3 weeks in advance. However, the earlier you schedule, the better your chances of securing preferred dates and competitive pricing.

Here’s why advance booking matters for Eden residents:

• Route optimization: Carriers can bundle your vehicle with other shipments along similar routes
• Better pricing: Early bookings often qualify for lower rates
• Flexible scheduling: More pickup windows available to fit your timeline

If you’re moving during peak seasons (summer months, holidays, or college terms), consider booking 4-6 weeks ahead. For urgent shipments, we do offer expedited services, though these come at a premium cost.

Pro tip: Eden’s location in north-central North Carolina means good highway access, but scheduling early ensures carriers can efficiently plan routes through the area.

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 uses open trailers where your car is exposed to weather and road debris. This is the most common and affordable option, costing significantly less than enclosed shipping.

Enclosed auto transport protects your vehicle inside a covered trailer, shielding it from weather, dust, and road debris. This premium service typically costs 40-60% more than open transport.

Choose open transport if: You have a standard daily driver and want to save money. Most cars ship safely this way from Eden, NC.

Choose enclosed transport if: You own a luxury car, classic vehicle, exotic car, or have custom paint work that needs extra protection during shipping.

For Eden, NC residents, open transport works well for most moves. See our detailed open vs enclosed auto transport guide to help you decide which option fits your needs and budget.

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.
