Thomasville, NC Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Thomasville, NC is simple but important. First, remove all personal items from inside your car, including toll passes, GPS devices, and any fragile items that could get damaged during transit.

Next, clean your vehicle inside and out so you can easily spot any damage during inspection. 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 antennas.

Finally, have a spare key ready for the carrier and make sure your car runs properly. If your vehicle has any mechanical issues, let us know ahead of time.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured during transport from Thomasville, NC. All Sherpa Auto Transport carriers must carry a minimum of $1,000,000 in liability insurance and $100,000 in cargo insurance.

Before your Thomasville 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 comprehensive coverage protects your vehicle throughout the entire journey from Thomasville to your destination. Our insurance requirements exceed industry standards, giving you peace of mind during your car shipment.

For car shipping from Thomasville, NC, we recommend booking your pickup service at least 1-2 weeks in advance. However, scheduling 3-4 weeks ahead is even better for several reasons:

• Better pricing: Early booking gives carriers time to plan efficient routes
• More availability: Popular dates fill up quickly, especially during peak seasons
• Flexible scheduling: You’ll have more pickup window options to choose from

Keep in mind that Thomasville is a smaller city, so carriers may need extra time to coordinate pickups with nearby shipments. If you’re moving during busy times like summer months or around holidays, book even earlier.

Need last-minute service? We can often accommodate rush orders, but expect higher rates and limited carrier options.

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 uses uncovered trailers that expose your car to weather and road debris. It costs less and works well for most everyday vehicles. Enclosed transport uses covered trailers that fully protect your car from the elements.

Enclosed shipping costs 40-60% more than open transport. Choose enclosed if you have a luxury car, classic vehicle, or custom paint job that needs extra protection. For standard cars shipping to or from Thomasville, NC, open transport is usually the smart choice.

Both options are safe and insured. The main difference is cost versus protection level. See our complete open vs enclosed guide to help decide what’s right for your Thomasville car shipment.

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.
