Oklahoma Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for auto transport is simple. Follow these steps to ensure a smooth shipping experience to or from Oklahoma:

• Remove personal belongings: Clear out any personal items from the interior. Carriers are not responsible for lost or damaged items left inside the vehicle.
• Document existing damage: Take clear photos of your vehicle from all angles before pickup. This gives you a solid record in case any new damage occurs during transit.
• Keep the gas tank about a quarter full: A full tank adds unnecessary weight. A quarter tank is enough for loading, unloading, and short drives.
• Disable alarms: Turn off any aftermarket car alarms to prevent them from triggering during transport.
• Make sure the car is drivable: Your vehicle needs to start, run, and roll onto the carrier. If it doesn’t, let your shipping company know in advance.
• Check for leaks and mechanical issues: Address any fluid leaks before transport. Leaking vehicles can be rejected by carriers or damage other cars on the truck.
• Retract or secure loose parts: Fold in mirrors, remove roof racks, and secure any loose spoilers or antennas.

Yes — your vehicle is insured during transport. Every carrier in Sherpa Auto Transport’s network is required to carry cargo insurance, so your car is protected from the moment it’s loaded onto the truck until it’s delivered to you in Oklahoma.

Here’s what you should know:

• Carrier cargo insurance: All carriers we work with must meet minimum insurance requirements before joining our network. This coverage handles damage caused during transit.
• Sherpa’s added protection: For extra peace of mind, Sherpa also provides an additional layer of coverage on top of the carrier’s policy.
• Your personal auto insurance: In most cases, your personal auto insurance does not cover your vehicle while it’s on a transport carrier. It’s always a good idea to confirm this with your provider before shipping.

Before your vehicle is picked up, we strongly recommend doing a thorough walk-around inspection and documenting any pre-existing damage with photos. This makes it easy to identify any new damage — if any — at delivery. For more helpful advice, check out our Vehicle Shipping Tips.

For most Oklahoma auto transport shipments, we recommend booking at least 1–2 weeks in advance. This gives carriers enough time to plan routes and ensures you get the best available options for your move.

That said, timing can vary based on a few key factors:

• Peak seasons: Summer and snowbird season (fall/winter) see much higher demand. Book 2–4 weeks ahead during these times to lock in availability and pricing.
• Last-minute shipments: Need to ship sooner? It’s still possible, but you may have fewer carrier options and higher rates.
• Flexible pickup dates: The more flexible you are with your pickup window, the easier it is for carriers to accommodate you — often at a better price.

One thing that sets Sherpa apart: our Price Lock Promise means the quote you receive is the price you pay — no surprise fees at pickup or delivery. So when you book early, you can plan with confidence.

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.

When shipping your car to or from Oklahoma, you’ll choose between two main transport methods: open and enclosed auto transport.

Open transport is the most popular and budget-friendly option. Your vehicle is loaded onto an open-air carrier — the same kind you see hauling new cars on the highway. It’s safe, reliable, and works well for most standard vehicles. Because carriers can haul more cars at once, the cost is lower.

Enclosed transport ships your vehicle inside a covered trailer, protecting it from weather, road debris, and dust. It’s the preferred choice for luxury cars, classic vehicles, or anything with high sentimental or monetary value. The tradeoff is that it typically costs 30–40% more than open transport.

Here’s a quick comparison:

• Open transport: Lower cost, widely available, great for everyday vehicles
• Enclosed transport: Extra protection, ideal for high-value or classic cars, higher price point

Yes! Sherpa Auto Transport offers door-to-door auto transport service throughout Oklahoma and across the country. That means we pick up your vehicle directly from your home, office, or any other specified address — and deliver it as close to your destination as safely and legally possible.

Door-to-door service is the most convenient option for most customers. You won’t need to drop off or pick up your vehicle at a terminal. Our driver comes to you.

A couple of things to keep in mind:

• Large trucks have limitations. In some cases, narrow streets, low-hanging trees, or local restrictions may prevent a carrier from pulling directly in front of your home. If that happens, your driver will coordinate with you to find the closest safe and accessible meet-up point nearby.
• Your price won’t change. Thanks to our Price Lock Promise, the quote you receive is the price you pay — no surprise fees at pickup or delivery.

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.
