Preparing your vehicle for shipping from Texas to Georgia is simple when you follow these key steps:

Remove Personal Items: Take out all personal belongings, including toll passes, GPS devices, and any loose items that could shift during transport.

Clean Your Car: Wash your vehicle inside and out. This helps you spot any existing damage and makes the inspection process easier.

Document Everything: Take clear photos of your car from all angles, noting any scratches, dents, or other issues before shipping.

Check Fluids and Battery: Ensure your car has enough gas (about 1/4 tank), oil, and brake fluid. Make sure the battery is charged and connections are secure.

Remove Accessories: Take off any removable items like bike racks, spoilers, or antennas that could be damaged or cause damage during transit.

Provide Working Keys: Have at least one working key ready for the carrier to load and unload your vehicle.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping from Texas to Georgia 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 vehicle during transport

Before your Texas to Georgia shipment begins, we verify that your 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: While rare, if damage occurs during transport, you’ll file a claim directly with the carrier’s insurance company. We’ll help guide you through this process to ensure a smooth resolution.

We recommend scheduling your car pickup from Texas 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 plan routes more efficiently when they have advance notice
• More carrier options: Popular routes like Texas to Georgia fill up quickly
• Flexible scheduling: You’ll have more pickup date options to choose from

If you need faster service, we can often accommodate rush orders with 3-7 days notice, though this may come with higher costs. For the smoothest experience shipping your vehicle from Texas to Georgia, book as early as possible once you know your moving timeline.

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 that expose your car to weather and road debris. It costs less and works well for most everyday vehicles. Enclosed auto transport uses covered trailers that fully protect your car from outside elements.

For Texas to Georgia shipping, most people choose open transport because it’s 40-60% cheaper. However, you should pick enclosed transport if you have a luxury car, classic vehicle, or custom paint job that needs extra protection during the 1,000+ mile journey.

Open transport is faster to book since more carriers offer this service. Enclosed transport may take longer to schedule but gives you peace of mind for high-value vehicles. See our complete open vs enclosed guide to help you decide which option fits your needs and budget.

Yes, we offer door-to-door auto transport service from Texas to Georgia. This means we pick up your car from your home, office, or any address you choose in Texas and deliver it directly to your preferred location in Georgia.

Here’s how it works: When you book your shipment, simply provide us with your pickup address in Texas and delivery address in Georgia. Our carrier will come to these exact locations to handle your vehicle. This saves you time and hassle compared to dropping off or picking up at a terminal.

In rare cases where the carrier cannot access your specific address due to low bridges, narrow streets, or safety concerns, we’ll work with you to find a nearby alternative spot like a shopping center or gas station. This happens less than 10% of the time on the Texas to Georgia route.

Door-to-door service is included in our standard pricing with no hidden fees. Most customers find this the most convenient option for their Texas to Georgia car shipment.

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.
