Louisville, CO Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for shipping from Louisville, CO is simple when you follow these key steps:

Clean and inspect your car: Wash your vehicle inside and out. Take photos of any existing damage for your records.

Remove personal items: Clear out all belongings, including items in the glove box and trunk. Remove toll passes, GPS devices, and any loose accessories.

Check fluids and battery: Ensure your car has less than a quarter tank of gas. Check that the battery is secure and fluids aren’t leaking.

Prepare keys and paperwork: Have a spare key ready for the driver. Keep your registration and insurance documents handy.

Disable alarms: Turn off car alarms to prevent issues during transport.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping from Louisville, CO. All Sherpa Auto Transport carriers must carry minimum insurance coverage of:

• $1,000,000 in liability insurance
• $100,000 in cargo insurance

Before your Louisville car shipment begins, we verify that your carrier’s insurance is active and valid for the entire transport period. This protects your vehicle from pickup in Louisville through final delivery.

For added security, all our contracted carriers list Sherpa as a Certificate Holder on their insurance policy. This means we receive direct updates about any policy changes.

Important: While your vehicle is covered during transport, we recommend reviewing your personal auto insurance policy. Some policies may have gaps in coverage during shipping that you’ll want to address before your Louisville departure date.

For car shipping from Louisville, CO, we recommend scheduling your pickup at least 2-3 weeks in advance. However, booking earlier gives you better options and pricing.

Here’s why advance booking matters:

• Better carrier availability: More time allows carriers to plan efficient routes through Colorado
• Lower costs: Early booking helps carriers bundle shipments, reducing your price
• Flexible scheduling: You’ll have more pickup date options to fit your timeline

During peak seasons (summer and early fall), consider booking 4-6 weeks ahead. Colorado’s mountain weather can affect transport schedules, so extra time helps ensure smooth delivery.

Need faster service? We offer expedited shipping, but expect higher costs and limited carrier options.

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 uses open trailers where your car is exposed to weather and road debris. This is the most common and affordable option, costing significantly less than enclosed transport.

Enclosed auto transport protects your vehicle inside a covered trailer, shielding it from weather, dust, and road debris. This premium service typically costs 40-60% more than open transport.

Choose open transport if: You have a standard daily driver and want to save money. Most cars ship safely this way without issues.

Choose enclosed transport if: You own a luxury car, classic vehicle, exotic car, or have custom paint work that needs extra protection during the journey from Louisville, CO.

For most Louisville residents, open transport offers excellent value and reliability. Learn more in our detailed open vs enclosed auto transport guide.
