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

Before your Roanoke Rapids vehicle shipment begins, we verify that your carrier’s insurance is active and valid. We also require all carriers to add Sherpa as a Certificate Holder on their policy for extra protection.

This means your car is covered from pickup in Roanoke Rapids through delivery at your destination. Our insurance requirements exceed industry standards to give you peace of mind during transport.

For car shipping from Roanoke Rapids, NC, we recommend booking at least 1-2 weeks in advance. However, booking earlier gives you better options and pricing.

Here’s why advance booking helps:

• Better carrier availability – More drivers can fit your shipment into their routes
• Lower costs – Carriers can bundle multiple vehicles from the Roanoke Rapids area
• Flexible pickup dates – You’ll have more scheduling options

If you need rush shipping, we can often arrange pickup within 2-7 days, but expect higher rates. For the best experience shipping your vehicle from Roanoke Rapids, book as soon as you know your moving 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 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 road debris.

Choose enclosed transport if you have:

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

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

Yes, Sherpa Auto Transport offers door-to-door auto transport service for customers in Roanoke Rapids, NC. This means we’ll 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 for large trucks, we’ll work with you to find a safe nearby spot. This might be a local parking lot, gas station, or main road that’s easy to access.

Door-to-door service saves you time and hassle compared to terminal-to-terminal shipping. You won’t need to drive to a shipping facility or arrange extra transportation. Our goal is to make your car shipping experience as smooth and convenient as possible for Roanoke Rapids residents.

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.
