Canton, OH Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Canton, OH is simple but important. Start by removing all personal items from inside your car, including toll passes, GPS devices, and any loose items that could shift during transport. Clean your vehicle inside and out – this helps with the pre-transport inspection and makes it easier to spot any damage.

Make sure your car has no more than a quarter tank of gas to reduce weight and meet safety rules. Remove or secure any external accessories like bike racks, spoilers, or custom antennas that could get damaged. Check your battery and tire pressure to ensure your vehicle can be easily loaded and unloaded.

Have a spare key ready for the driver, and take photos of your car from all angles before pickup. For complete preparation details, visit our Vehicle Shipping Tips page. Following these steps will help ensure smooth transport from Canton to your destination.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping from Canton, OH. All Sherpa Auto Transport carriers must carry at least $1,000,000 in liability insurance and $100,000 in cargo insurance.

Before we assign your Canton shipment, we check 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 insurance covers your vehicle during loading, transport, and delivery. You can ship your car from Canton with confidence knowing it’s protected throughout the entire journey.

We recommend scheduling your car pickup from Canton, OH at least 2-3 weeks in advance. However, booking earlier gives you better options and pricing.

Here’s why advance booking helps:

• Better carrier availability – More drivers service your route
• Lower costs – Carriers can plan efficient routes with multiple pickups
• Flexible scheduling – You get preferred pickup dates
• Less stress – No last-minute rushing or limited options

If you need rush shipping from Canton, we can often arrange pickup within 3-7 days, but expect higher costs and fewer carrier choices.

Pro tip: Book as soon as you know your moving date. You can always adjust pickup dates later if your plans change.

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 trailers where your car is exposed to weather and road debris. This is the most common and affordable option, costing about 50% less than enclosed transport.

Enclosed auto transport protects your vehicle inside a covered trailer, shielding it from weather, dust, and road debris. This premium service costs more but is ideal for luxury cars, classic vehicles, or cars with custom paint jobs.

Most Canton, OH residents choose open transport for everyday vehicles since it’s reliable and cost-effective. Consider enclosed transport if your car is worth over $50,000 or has sentimental value you can’t replace.
