Park City, UT Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Park City, UT is simple. Follow these key steps:

Remove personal items: Take out all belongings, toll passes, and fragile items. Carriers typically don’t insure personal property left in the vehicle.

Clean your vehicle: Wash your car inside and out. This makes it easier to document any existing damage before shipping.

Document condition: Take photos of your vehicle from all angles. Note any scratches or dents on the inspection report.

Check fluids and battery: Ensure your car has enough gas (about 1/4 tank), and the battery is charged. Fix any leaks.

Remove accessories: Take off bike racks, roof boxes, spoilers, and antenna extensions. These can be damaged during transport.

Disable alarms: Turn off your car alarm to prevent it from going off during transit.

Provide a key: Give the carrier a working key or key fob for loading and unloading.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured during transport from Park City, UT. All carriers in our network 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 active and valid. We also require all carriers to add Sherpa Auto Transport as a Certificate Holder on their policy for added protection.

This means your vehicle is covered throughout the entire journey from Park City, giving you peace of mind during your move.

We recommend scheduling your car shipment from Park City, UT at least 1-2 weeks in advance. However, booking earlier gives you the best rates and more carrier options.

Here’s why early booking helps:

• Better pricing: Carriers can plan routes more efficiently and offer competitive rates
• More flexibility: You’ll have more pickup date options to choose from
• Route bundling: Your vehicle can be grouped with other shipments heading the same direction

Park City’s mountain location means fewer carriers pass through compared to major cities. Giving carriers 2-3 weeks notice increases your chances of finding the right match.

Need faster service? We can often arrange expedited pickup within 2-5 days, though this typically costs more. Contact us to discuss your timeline and we’ll find the best solution for your schedule.

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-air trailers that carry multiple vehicles at once. Your car is exposed to weather and road elements during transit. This is the most common and affordable option, used for about 90% of all car shipments.

Enclosed auto transport ships your vehicle in a fully covered trailer, protecting it from weather, dust, and debris. This premium service costs 50-60% more than open transport.

Which should you choose? Most Park City residents choose open transport—it’s safe, reliable, and budget-friendly. Consider enclosed transport if you’re shipping a luxury car, classic vehicle, exotic sports car, or any car with custom paint or modifications. Given Park City’s winter conditions, enclosed transport also offers extra peace of mind for high-value vehicles.

Yes! We offer convenient door-to-door auto transport service to and from Park City, UT. This means we’ll pick up your vehicle from your home, hotel, or any address you specify, and deliver it directly to your destination.

When you book with us, simply provide your preferred pickup and delivery addresses. Our assigned carrier will do their best to reach both locations. However, Park City’s mountain terrain and narrow roads can sometimes make access challenging for large car carriers. If your location has steep grades, tight turns, or low-hanging trees, the driver may need to meet you at a nearby accessible spot—like a gas station, shopping center parking lot, or the base of your neighborhood.

Don’t worry—our carriers will work directly with you to find the most convenient alternative location if needed. We always strive to get as close to your door as safely possible while protecting both your vehicle and our equipment.

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.
