West Hollywood, CA Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from West Hollywood, CA is simple but important. Here’s what you need to do:

Remove personal items: Take out all belongings, including items in glove compartments, consoles, and trunk. Car carriers are not responsible for personal property.

Clean your car: Wash your vehicle inside and out. This helps you spot any existing damage during inspection.

Check fluids and battery: Ensure your car has enough gas (about 1/4 tank), oil, and coolant. Make sure your battery is charged.

Remove or secure loose parts: Take off custom accessories, spoilers, or loose trim. Remove toll passes, GPS devices, and phone chargers.

Document condition: Take photos of your car from all angles before pickup.

Provide a working key: Give the driver a spare key that starts the vehicle.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping from West Hollywood, CA. All Sherpa Auto Transport carriers must carry a minimum of $1,000,000 in liability insurance and $100,000 in cargo insurance.

Before your West Hollywood pickup, we verify that your carrier’s insurance is active and valid for your entire shipment. We also require all carriers to add Sherpa as a Certificate Holder on their insurance policy for extra protection.

For car shipping from West Hollywood, CA, we recommend booking at least 2-3 weeks in advance. However, scheduling even earlier gives you the best results.

Here’s why early booking matters:

• Better pricing: Carriers can plan routes more efficiently
• More carrier options: Popular routes from West Hollywood fill up quickly
• Flexible pickup dates: You’ll have more scheduling options
• Less stress: Avoid last-minute rush fees

West Hollywood is a busy area with high demand for car shipping services. During peak seasons (summer and fall), book 3-4 weeks ahead to secure your preferred dates.

Need to ship sooner? We can often accommodate rush orders, but expect higher costs and limited carrier availability.

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 travels on an open trailer alongside other vehicles, exposed to weather and road debris. This method is safe and reliable for most everyday vehicles.

Enclosed transport provides premium protection inside a covered trailer. It costs 40-60% more than open transport but shields your vehicle from weather, dust, and road debris. This option is ideal for luxury cars, classic vehicles, or cars with custom paint jobs.

For West Hollywood residents, enclosed transport is popular for high-end vehicles given the area’s luxury car market. However, open transport works perfectly for standard vehicles and offers significant savings. Consider your car’s value, condition, and your budget when choosing. See our complete open vs enclosed transport guide for detailed comparisons and pricing.

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.
