Morgantown, WV Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Morgantown, WV is simple when you follow these key steps. First, remove all personal items from inside your car, including toll passes, GPS devices, and any fragile items that could shift during transit. Next, clean your vehicle inside and out – this helps with the pre-transport inspection and makes it easier to spot any existing damage.

Remove exterior accessories like bike racks, spoilers, or custom antennas that could come loose during transport. Make sure your car has no more than a quarter tank of gas – this reduces weight and meets safety requirements. Finally, disable your car alarm and provide a working key to the carrier.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping from Morgantown, WV with Sherpa Auto Transport.

Every carrier in our network must carry:

• $1,000,000 in liability insurance – covers damage to other vehicles or property
• $100,000 in cargo insurance – protects your specific vehicle during transport

Before we assign your Morgantown 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.

Important note: While our carriers provide comprehensive coverage, we recommend checking with your personal auto insurance about any gaps in coverage during transport. Some policies may have specific clauses about vehicle shipping.

Our insurance requirements exceed industry standards, giving you peace of mind when shipping your car from Morgantown, West Virginia.

For car shipping from Morgantown, WV, we recommend booking at least 2-3 weeks in advance. This gives carriers enough time to plan efficient routes and group your vehicle with other shipments heading in the same direction.

Why book early? Morgantown is a smaller city, so carriers need time to coordinate pickups with nearby areas like Pittsburgh or Charleston. Early booking also helps you:

• Get better rates through route optimization
• Have more carrier options to choose from
• Avoid rush fees for last-minute bookings

If you need faster service, we offer expedited shipping with 3-5 days notice, though this costs more. For the best experience and pricing, book as soon as you know your moving dates.

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 cost-effective 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 transport.

Enclosed transport protects your car inside a covered trailer. It costs 40-60% more than open transport, but it’s worth it for luxury cars, classics, or vehicles with custom paint jobs. Your car stays protected from weather, dust, and road debris.

For most people shipping from Morgantown, WV, open transport works great and saves money. Choose enclosed transport if your car is worth over $50,000 or has sentimental value you can’t replace. See our complete open vs enclosed guide for more details.

Yes, Sherpa Auto Transport offers door-to-door service for car shipping in Morgantown, WV. This means we’ll pick up your vehicle from your home, office, or another address you choose and deliver it directly to your destination.

When you book with us, simply provide your preferred pickup and delivery addresses in Morgantown. Our carriers will do their best to reach these exact locations. However, some Morgantown neighborhoods have narrow streets, low-hanging branches, or parking restrictions that make it tough for large car carriers to navigate safely.

If your street isn’t accessible, don’t worry. Our driver will work with you to find a convenient nearby spot like a shopping center, gas station, or open parking lot – usually within a few blocks of your address. This keeps your car safe while making pickup and delivery smooth and easy.

Door-to-door service saves you time and hassle compared to terminal-to-terminal shipping, where you’d need to drop off and pick up your vehicle at specific facilities.

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.
