High Point, NC Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from High Point, NC is simple. Follow these key steps:

Remove personal items: Take out all belongings, including toll passes, GPS devices, and fragile items. Carriers typically don’t insure personal property left inside.

Clean your vehicle: Wash the exterior so you can document any existing damage with photos before shipping.

Check fluids and battery: Ensure your gas tank is only 1/4 full, and verify the battery is charged and secure.

Remove or secure accessories: Take off custom antennas, spoilers, bike racks, and other exterior add-ons that could be damaged during transit.

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

Provide a key: Have a working key ready for the carrier to load and unload your vehicle.

We recommend scheduling your pickup from High Point, NC at least 1-2 weeks in advance for the best results. However, booking earlier gives you more advantages.

Here’s why early booking helps:

• Better pricing: Carriers can plan efficient routes and bundle shipments, which often means lower costs for you.
• More carrier options: You’ll have access to more qualified carriers traveling through the High Point area.
• Flexible scheduling: You can choose pickup dates that work best for your timeline.

If you need faster service, we can often arrange pickup in 3-5 days, though this may come with rush fees. For last-minute needs, same-week pickup is sometimes possible depending on carrier availability in the High Point region.

Bottom line: Book as early as you can, but don’t worry if you’re on a tight schedule—we’ll work to find a solution that meets your needs.

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 affordable method, where your vehicle is loaded onto an open-air trailer alongside other cars. This is how most vehicles are shipped, including new cars from dealerships. Your car will be exposed to weather and road elements during transit, but it’s perfectly safe for most vehicles.

Enclosed auto transport provides full protection inside a covered trailer, shielding your vehicle from weather, road debris, and dust. This premium option costs 50-60% more than open transport but is ideal for luxury vehicles, classic cars, exotic sports cars, or any vehicle with custom paint or modifications.

For most High Point residents shipping standard vehicles, open transport offers excellent value and reliability. However, if you’re transporting a high-value or collectible vehicle, the extra cost of enclosed transport provides peace of mind and maximum protection.

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 also ship electric vehicles.
