Pullman, WA Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Pullman, WA is simple but important. Start by removing all personal items from inside your car, including toll passes, GPS devices, and any fragile items. 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 pre-transport inspection. Remove or secure any exterior accessories like bike racks, spoilers, or antenna toppers that could get damaged.

Make sure your car has less than a quarter tank of gas – this reduces weight and meets safety rules. Check that you have a working key available for the carrier to move your vehicle.

Finally, document your car’s condition with photos before pickup. For complete preparation details, visit our Vehicle Shipping Tips page. Following these steps ensures smooth transport from Pullman to your destination.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping from Pullman, WA. All Sherpa Auto Transport carriers must carry at least $1,000,000 in liability insurance and $100,000 in cargo insurance. We verify each carrier’s insurance is active and valid before your car leaves Pullman.

For extra protection, all our contracted carriers add Sherpa as a Certificate Holder on their insurance policy. This means we can directly monitor coverage throughout your shipment from Pullman to your destination.

What this means for you: If damage occurs during transport, the carrier’s insurance covers repairs. You’ll have peace of mind knowing your vehicle is protected from pickup in Pullman through final delivery.

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

Pullman’s location in southeastern Washington means fewer daily carriers compared to major cities like Seattle or Spokane. Booking early helps ensure availability and often results in better pricing since carriers can optimize their loads.

If you need faster service, we offer expedited shipping options, but expect higher costs. During peak moving seasons (summer months and college start/end dates), book even earlier – 4 weeks ahead is ideal.

The key is flexibility with your dates. The more notice you give us, the better we can serve you with reliable, cost-effective car shipping from Pullman.

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 is the most common and affordable option. Your car rides on an open trailer, exposed to weather and road debris. This works great for most everyday vehicles and costs much less.

Enclosed transport protects your car inside a covered trailer. It costs 40-60% more than open transport but shields your vehicle from weather, dust, and road debris. This is smart for luxury cars, classics, or custom vehicles.

For most Pullman residents shipping standard cars, open transport offers great value. Choose enclosed if your car is worth over $50,000 or has special value to you. See our complete open vs enclosed auto transport guide for detailed comparisons and pricing.

Yes, Sherpa Auto Transport offers door-to-door auto transport service to and from Pullman, WA. This convenient service means we’ll pick up your vehicle from your home, office, or preferred location in Pullman and deliver it directly to your destination address.

When you book your car shipment, simply provide us with your pickup and delivery addresses. Our assigned carrier will do their best to reach both locations. However, since Pullman is a smaller city with some narrow residential streets near Washington State University, there may be cases where our large transport trucks cannot safely access certain areas.

If we encounter any road restrictions or safety concerns in Pullman neighborhoods, don’t worry – we’ll work with you to find a convenient nearby location like a shopping center parking lot or gas station. This ensures your vehicle is picked up and delivered as close to your desired location as possible while keeping everyone safe.

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.
