Monroe, NC Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Monroe, NC is simple but important. First, remove all personal items from inside your car, including toll passes, GPS devices, and any fragile objects. These items aren’t covered by insurance during transit.

Next, clean your vehicle inside and out. This helps you spot any existing damage during the inspection process. Take photos of your car from all angles before pickup.

Check fluid levels and tire pressure, but keep your gas tank only 1/4 full to reduce weight. Remove or secure any loose exterior accessories like bike racks, spoilers, or custom antennas that could be damaged.

Finally, have a spare key ready for the driver and disable your car alarm. For complete preparation details, visit our Vehicle Shipping Tips page. Following these steps ensures smooth pickup from Monroe and safe delivery to your destination.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping from Monroe, 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 Monroe vehicle shipment, we verify that your carrier’s insurance is active and valid. This protects your car throughout the entire transport process.

For added security, all our contracted carriers list Sherpa as a Certificate Holder on their insurance policy. This means we monitor coverage and ensure your vehicle stays protected from pickup in Monroe to final delivery.

Your insurance coverage is included in our quote – no hidden fees or extra costs.

For car shipping from Monroe, NC, we recommend scheduling your pickup at least 2-3 weeks in advance. This gives carriers enough time to plan efficient routes and group your vehicle with other shipments heading in the same direction.

Why book early? Monroe’s location near Charlotte means there’s good carrier traffic, but advance booking helps secure better rates and pickup dates that work for your schedule.

If you need faster service, we offer expedited shipping options. However, last-minute bookings (less than one week) may result in higher costs and limited availability.

Pro tip: Book as soon as you know your moving date. Early booking gives you more carrier options and helps ensure smooth pickup from Monroe.

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 that expose your car to weather and road debris. It’s the most common and affordable option, costing 40-60% less than enclosed transport.

Enclosed auto transport protects your vehicle inside a covered trailer, shielding it from weather, dust, and road debris. This premium service costs more but offers maximum protection.

Choose open transport if: You have a standard daily driver and want to save money. Most cars ship safely this way from Monroe, 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 Monroe residents, open transport works well for most moves. See our complete open vs enclosed guide to help you decide which option fits your needs and budget.

In some cases, large transport trucks may not be able to access certain streets in Monroe due to low-hanging branches, narrow roads, or HOA restrictions. If this happens, don’t worry – we’ll arrange to meet you at a nearby safe location like a shopping center or gas station. This is still considered door-to-door service, and we’ll work with you to find the most convenient spot possible.

Our door-to-door service is available for both open and enclosed transport options, giving you flexibility while maintaining maximum convenience for your Monroe car shipping 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.
