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.

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 cost-effective option. Your vehicle is loaded onto an open trailer alongside other cars. While your car is exposed to weather and road debris, this method is safe and reliable for most vehicles.

Enclosed auto transport provides premium protection by shipping your vehicle in a covered trailer. This option costs 40-60% more than open transport but offers complete protection from weather, debris, and dust.

Choose enclosed transport if you have:

• Classic or vintage cars
• Luxury vehicles over $75,000
• Custom paint jobs or modifications
• Convertibles or low-clearance sports cars

For most standard vehicles shipping to or from Stone Mountain, GA, open transport is perfectly safe and much more budget-friendly. See our complete open vs enclosed auto transport guide for detailed comparisons and pricing.
