St. George, UT Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from St. George, UT is simple. Follow these steps:

Remove personal items: Take out all belongings, toll passes, and loose items from the interior. Carriers are not insured for personal property.

Clean your vehicle: Wash the exterior so you can document its condition with photos before shipping.

Check for leaks and issues: Make sure your car is in good running condition. Fix any fluid leaks and ensure the battery is charged.

Secure or remove accessories: Remove or secure antennas, spoilers, bike racks, and other exterior accessories that could get damaged.

Disable alarms: Turn off your car alarm to avoid issues during transport.

Provide a key: Have a spare key ready for the driver.

Keep fuel low: Leave only about a quarter tank of gas. This keeps the vehicle lighter and safer.

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

Before your shipment begins, we verify that the carrier’s insurance is valid and active. We also require all carriers to add Sherpa as a Certificate Holder on their policy. This gives you extra protection and peace of mind.

You’ll receive a copy of the carrier’s insurance certificate before pickup. If any damage occurs during transport, the carrier’s insurance will cover it. Our team will help you through the claims process if needed.

We recommend scheduling your car shipment from St. George, UT at least 1-2 weeks in advance. However, booking earlier gives you the best results.

Here’s why early booking helps:

• Better pricing: Carriers can plan routes more efficiently and often offer lower rates
• More carrier options: You’ll have access to more available drivers in the St. George area
• Flexible pickup dates: You can choose times that work best for your schedule
• Route optimization: Carriers can bundle your vehicle with other shipments heading the same direction

If you need faster service, we can often arrange pickup within 2-5 business days, though this may cost more. During peak moving seasons (summer and end of month), we strongly suggest booking 3-4 weeks ahead.

Contact us as soon as you know your moving dates. We’ll work with you to find the best pickup window for your St. George car shipment.

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 affordable option, where your vehicle is shipped on an open-air carrier alongside other cars. It’s exposed to weather and road debris but is perfectly safe for most vehicles. About 90% of cars shipped in and out of St. George use this method.

Enclosed auto transport provides full protection inside a covered trailer, shielding your vehicle from weather, dust, and debris—important considerations on routes through desert areas. This option costs 50-60% more than open transport.

Choose open transport if: You have a standard daily driver or newer vehicle in good condition. It’s safe, reliable, and budget-friendly.

Choose enclosed transport if: You’re shipping a luxury car, classic vehicle, exotic sports car, or any car with custom paint or modifications that need extra protection.

For most St. George residents, open transport offers excellent value and protection. Learn more in our open vs enclosed auto transport guide.

Yes! We offer door-to-door auto transport service to and from St. George, UT. This means we’ll pick up your vehicle from your home, business, or preferred address and deliver it directly to your destination.

When you book your shipment, simply provide your pickup and delivery addresses. Our carrier will come right to your location in St. George—whether you’re in the Entrada, Bloomington Hills, or any neighborhood in the area.

Important to know: Some St. George locations may have access restrictions. Narrow roads, low-hanging trees, or tight residential streets can make it difficult for large car carriers to navigate safely. If your location isn’t accessible, don’t worry—our driver will work with you to find a convenient nearby spot, like a grocery store parking lot or gas station.

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.
