Snellville, GA Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Snellville, GA is simple. Follow these key steps:

Remove personal items: Take out all belongings, toll passes, and loose items from the interior. Carriers are not insured for personal property.

Clean your vehicle: Wash the exterior so you can document its condition with photos before shipping.

Check for leaks and mechanical issues: Ensure your car runs properly and has no fluid leaks. Disable alarms if possible.

Maintain proper fuel level: Keep your gas tank at about 1/4 full. This reduces weight while ensuring the car can be loaded and unloaded.

Remove or secure accessories: Take off custom antennas, spoilers, bike racks, and other exterior add-ons that could be damaged during transport.

Provide a key: Have a working key ready for the driver.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured during transport from Snellville, GA. All of our carriers 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 policy is active and in good standing. We also require all carriers to add Sherpa Auto Transport as a Certificate Holder on their policy. This gives you an extra layer of protection throughout your vehicle’s journey.

You’ll receive a copy of the carrier’s insurance certificate before pickup. This document shows the coverage details and confirms your vehicle is protected from Snellville to its destination.

We recommend scheduling your car pickup from Snellville, GA at least 1-2 weeks in advance. However, booking earlier gives you more options and better rates.

Here’s why advance notice helps:

• Better carrier availability: More time allows carriers to route your vehicle with other shipments heading the same direction
• Lower costs: Last-minute bookings often come with premium pricing
• Flexible scheduling: You’ll have more pickup date options to choose from

If you need faster service, we offer expedited shipping with pickups possible in as little as 24-48 hours. Keep in mind this option costs more due to the rush nature of the service.

Best practice: Book as soon as you know your moving dates. This ensures the smoothest experience and the best value for your Snellville car shipment.

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 elements. This method is safe, reliable, and costs less—making it ideal for most standard vehicles.

Enclosed auto transport provides complete protection inside a covered trailer. Your car is shielded from weather, road debris, and dust during transit. This option costs 50-60% more than open transport but is worth it for luxury cars, classic vehicles, exotic sports cars, or any car with custom paint or modifications.

For most Snellville residents shipping everyday vehicles, open transport offers excellent value and safety. Choose enclosed transport if your vehicle requires extra protection or has high value. Learn more in our detailed open vs enclosed auto transport guide.

If this happens, don’t worry—our driver will contact you to arrange a nearby meeting spot like a shopping center parking lot or gas station. This ensures safe loading and protects your property.

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.
