Evansville, IN Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Evansville, IN is simple. Follow these steps to ensure a smooth pickup:

Remove personal items: Take out all belongings from inside your car. Carriers are not insured for personal items, and extra weight can affect shipping costs.

Clean your vehicle: Wash your car so you can document its condition with photos before transport. This helps if you need to file a damage claim later.

Check for leaks and issues: Make sure your vehicle is in good working order. Fix any fluid leaks and ensure the battery is charged. The driver needs to be able to load and unload your car.

Remove or secure loose parts: Take off custom antennas, spoilers, and bike racks. Secure or remove toll tags and parking passes from the windshield.

Maintain proper fuel level: Keep your gas tank about 1/4 full. This reduces weight while ensuring enough fuel for loading and unloading.

Provide a key: Make sure you have a working key to give the carrier driver.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured during transport from Evansville, IN. 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 valid and current. We also require all carriers to add Sherpa Auto Transport as a Certificate Holder on their policy for added protection.

This coverage is included in your quote at no extra cost. You’ll receive a copy of the carrier’s insurance certificate before pickup, giving you peace of mind throughout your Evansville vehicle shipment.

We recommend scheduling your pickup from Evansville, IN 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 offer competitive rates
• More carrier options: You’ll have access to more available drivers in the Evansville area
• Flexible scheduling: You can choose pickup dates that work best for you
• Route bundling: Carriers can combine your shipment with others, which often lowers costs

Need faster service? We can often arrange pickups in as little as 2-3 days, though this may come with rush fees. If you have a tight deadline, let us know and we’ll work to accommodate your schedule.

For the smoothest experience, contact us as soon as you know your moving dates. Our team will help you find the right carrier and secure your preferred pickup window.

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. Your vehicle is loaded onto an open-air trailer alongside other cars, exposed to weather and road conditions during transit. This method is safe, reliable, and costs significantly less—typically 40-60% cheaper than enclosed transport.

Enclosed auto transport provides full protection inside a covered trailer, shielding your vehicle from weather, road debris, and dust. This premium service is ideal for luxury cars, classic vehicles, exotic sports cars, or any car with custom features you want to protect.

For most everyday vehicles shipping to or from Evansville, open transport works perfectly fine and saves you money. However, if you’re moving a high-value or special vehicle, the extra cost of enclosed transport offers valuable peace of mind. Learn more in our open vs enclosed auto transport guide.

Yes! We offer door-to-door auto transport service to and from Evansville, IN. This is our most popular shipping option because it’s convenient and hassle-free.

Here’s how it works: When you book your shipment, simply provide your preferred pickup and delivery addresses in Evansville. Our carrier will come directly to your home, office, or specified location to pick up your vehicle. When delivery time comes, they’ll bring it right to your door at the destination.

Important note: In some cases, large car carriers may not be able to access certain residential streets due to low-hanging trees, narrow roads, or tight turns. If this happens in your Evansville neighborhood, don’t worry—your driver will work with you to find a safe, nearby meeting spot like a grocery store parking lot or gas station. This is rare, but we want you to be prepared.

Door-to-door service is included in your quote at no extra charge. It saves you time and eliminates the need to drop off or pick up your vehicle at a terminal.

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.
