Greenville, NC Car Shipping

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

Remove personal items: Take out all belongings, toll passes, and loose items from inside your vehicle. Carriers typically don’t insure personal items during transit.

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

Check for leaks and mechanical issues: Make sure your car runs properly, has no fluid leaks, and the battery is charged. The driver needs to load and unload it from the carrier.

Remove or secure accessories: Take off custom antennas, spoilers, bike racks, and roof carriers. These can get damaged during transport.

Keep fuel low: Leave only about a quarter tank of gas. This reduces weight and meets safety requirements.

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

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured during transport from Greenville, NC. Every carrier in our network must carry a minimum of $1,000,000 in liability insurance and $100,000 in cargo insurance.

Before we assign your shipment, we verify that the carrier’s insurance is active and valid. We also require all carriers to add Sherpa Auto Transport as a Certificate Holder on their policy. This gives you an extra layer of protection.

Your vehicle is covered from pickup in Greenville to final delivery. If you’d like to review the carrier’s insurance certificate before transport, just ask—we’re happy to provide it.

We recommend scheduling your car shipping service at least 1-2 weeks in advance from Greenville, NC. However, booking earlier gives you the best results.

Here’s why early booking helps:

• Better pricing: Carriers can plan routes more efficiently and offer competitive rates
• More availability: You’ll have more carrier options to choose from
• Flexible scheduling: You can pick dates that work best for you
• Route optimization: Carriers can bundle your vehicle with others heading the same direction

If you need last-minute shipping, we can often accommodate pickups within 2-5 days. Keep in mind this may come with higher costs due to expedited service.

For the smoothest experience, contact us as soon as you know your moving dates. We’ll work with you to find the best carrier and schedule for your Greenville pickup.

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 option. Your vehicle is shipped on an open-air trailer alongside other cars, exposed to weather and road conditions. It’s safe, reliable, and costs significantly less—making it perfect for everyday vehicles.

Enclosed auto transport protects your car inside a covered trailer, shielding it from weather, dust, and road debris. This option typically costs 50-60% more than open transport but is ideal for luxury cars, classic vehicles, or cars with custom paint jobs.

Most Greenville, NC customers choose open transport because it offers excellent value and reliability. However, if you’re shipping a high-value or collector vehicle, enclosed transport provides extra peace of mind. Learn more in our open vs enclosed auto transport guide.

Yes, we offer door-to-door auto transport service in Greenville, NC. 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. Our carrier will come to you, making the process as convenient as possible. You won’t need to drive to a terminal or drop-off location.

What if the truck can’t access my street?

In some cases, large car carriers may not be able to navigate narrow streets, low-hanging trees, or tight residential areas in Greenville. If this happens, our driver will contact you to arrange a nearby meeting spot, such as a parking lot, gas station, or main road. This is still considered door-to-door service, and we’ll work with you to find the most convenient alternative location.

Our goal is to make your car shipping experience as easy and stress-free as possible, whether you’re moving across town or across the country.

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.
