Fishers, IN Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Fishers, IN is simple but important. Here’s what you need to do:

Remove personal items: Take out all belongings, including toll passes, GPS devices, and anything in the glove box or trunk. These items aren’t covered by insurance during transport.

Clean your car: Wash your vehicle inside and out. This helps you spot any existing damage during the pre-transport inspection.

Check fluids and battery: Make sure your car has enough gas (about 1/4 tank), oil, and brake fluid. Your battery should be fully charged so drivers can move your car on and off the carrier.

Remove or secure loose parts: Take off custom accessories, spoilers, or anything that might fall off. Fold in side mirrors and retract antennas.

Document everything: Take photos of your car from all angles before pickup. Note any existing scratches or dents.

For complete details, check our Vehicle Shipping Tips page. Following these steps will help ensure your car arrives safely at its destination.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured during transport from Fishers, IN. All Sherpa Auto Transport carriers must carry at least $1,000,000 in liability insurance and $100,000 in cargo insurance.

Before your car leaves Fishers, we verify that your carrier’s insurance is active and valid for your entire shipment. This protects your vehicle from pickup in Fishers all the way to final delivery.

For added protection, all our contracted carriers list Sherpa as a Certificate Holder on their insurance policy. This means we can directly monitor coverage and ensure your vehicle stays protected throughout the shipping process.

What this means for you: Your car is covered for damage, theft, or accidents during transport. You can ship from Fishers with confidence knowing professional insurance coverage protects your investment.

For car shipping from Fishers, IN, we recommend booking your pickup service at least 2-3 weeks in advance. This gives you the best chance to secure competitive rates and flexible scheduling options.

Here’s why early booking matters:

• Better carrier availability: Fishers sits along major shipping routes, but advance notice helps carriers plan efficient routes
• Lower costs: Early bookings often qualify for better pricing as carriers can bundle multiple vehicles
• Flexible pickup windows: More time means more options for convenient pickup dates

Peak season tip: During busy periods (summer months and winter snowbird season), consider booking 3-4 weeks ahead. If you need last-minute service, we can often accommodate rush orders, though rates may be higher.

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 cost-effective way to ship your car to or from Fishers, IN. Your vehicle travels on an open trailer alongside other cars, exposed to weather and road debris. This method costs significantly less and is perfectly safe for most vehicles.

Enclosed auto transport provides premium protection by shipping your car inside a covered trailer. This option costs 40-60% more than open transport but shields your vehicle from weather, dust, and road debris. It’s ideal for luxury cars, classic vehicles, or cars with custom paint jobs.

Most Fishers residents choose open transport for everyday vehicles like sedans, SUVs, and trucks. Consider enclosed transport if you’re shipping a high-value vehicle that needs extra protection. Both options are fully insured and reliable.

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.
