Layton, UT Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Layton, UT is simple when you follow these key steps:

Remove personal items: Take out all belongings, including toll passes, GPS devices, and fragile items. Carriers are not responsible for personal property left in vehicles.

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

Document condition: Take photos of your car from all angles, noting any scratches or dents.

Check fluids and battery: Ensure your car has enough gas (about 1/4 tank), oil, and coolant. Make sure the battery is charged.

Remove accessories: Take off custom parts, bike racks, or loose exterior items that could fall off during transport.

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

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping from Layton, UT. All Sherpa Auto Transport carriers must carry a minimum of $1,000,000 in liability insurance and $100,000 in cargo insurance.

Before we assign your Layton vehicle shipment, we verify that the 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 comprehensive coverage protects your vehicle throughout the entire transport process – from pickup in Layton to delivery at your destination. You can ship with confidence knowing your car is protected by professional-grade insurance coverage.

For car shipping from Layton, UT, we recommend booking at least 2-3 weeks in advance. This gives you the best chance to secure competitive rates and preferred pickup dates.

Here’s why early booking matters:

• Better pricing: Carriers can group your vehicle with others heading to similar destinations
• More scheduling options: You’ll have first pick of available pickup windows
• Less stress: Avoid last-minute rush fees and limited availability

If you’re moving during peak seasons (summer months or winter snowbird migration), consider booking 4-6 weeks ahead. Layton’s location along the I-15 corridor makes it a popular pickup point, so early planning ensures smooth transport.

Need faster service? We offer expedited shipping options, though rates may be higher for rush orders.

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 transport is the most common and budget-friendly option. Your car rides on an open trailer alongside other vehicles. It’s safe and reliable for most cars, but your vehicle is exposed to weather and road debris during the journey from or to Layton, UT.

Enclosed transport costs 40-60% more but provides complete protection. Your car travels inside a covered trailer, shielding it from weather, dust, and debris. This option is ideal for luxury cars, classic vehicles, or cars with custom paint jobs.

Most Layton residents choose open transport for everyday vehicles. Consider enclosed transport if your car is worth over $50,000 or has sentimental value. See our open vs enclosed auto transport guide for a detailed comparison.
