Lexington, NC Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Lexington, NC is simple but important. Start by removing all personal items from inside your car, including toll passes, GPS devices, and any loose objects that could shift during transit.

Key preparation steps:

• Remove or secure exterior accessories like bike racks, spoilers, or antennas
• Clean your vehicle and document any existing damage with photos
• Ensure your gas tank is between 1/4 and 1/2 full
• Check tire pressure and fluid levels
• Have a working key ready for the carrier
• Disable car alarms to prevent battery drain

For car shipping from Lexington, NC, we recommend booking your pickup service at least 1-2 weeks in advance. However, scheduling even earlier gives you the best results.

Here’s why early booking matters:

• Better pricing: Carriers can plan efficient routes and offer competitive rates
• More availability: You’ll have more carrier options to choose from
• Flexible timing: Less rush means smoother coordination

If you need urgent pickup from Lexington, NC, we can often accommodate rush orders within 24-48 hours, though this may cost more. For the best experience and value, 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 auto transport is the most common and cost-effective option. Your car travels on an open trailer alongside other vehicles. It’s exposed to weather and road debris, but it’s perfectly safe for most everyday cars.

Enclosed auto transport protects your vehicle inside a covered trailer. This costs 40-60% more than open transport, but it’s worth it for luxury cars, classics, or vehicles with custom paint jobs.

For most Lexington, NC residents shipping standard vehicles, open transport works great and saves money. Choose enclosed transport if you have a high-value car that needs extra protection from weather and road debris during the journey.

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.
