Beaumont, TX Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Beaumont, TX is simple but important. First, remove all personal items from inside your car – carriers aren’t insured for personal belongings. Take out toll tags, GPS devices, and any loose items that could shift during transit.

Clean your vehicle inside and out before pickup. This helps you spot any existing damage during the inspection. Remove or secure exterior accessories like bike racks, spoilers, or antenna toppers that could come loose.

Make sure your car is in good working order with less than a quarter tank of gas – this reduces weight while ensuring the carrier can move your vehicle if needed. Have a spare key ready for the driver.

For complete preparation details, check our Vehicle Shipping Tips guide. Following these steps ensures smooth pickup from Beaumont and safe delivery to your destination.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping from Beaumont, TX. All our carriers must have at least $1,000,000 in liability insurance and $100,000 in cargo insurance before they can transport your car.

We take extra steps to protect you:

• We check that each carrier’s insurance is active and valid
• All carriers add Sherpa as a Certificate Holder on their policy
• Coverage stays active for your entire shipment

This means your vehicle is protected from pickup in Beaumont through delivery at your destination. Our all-inclusive quotes cover this insurance – no hidden fees or extra costs.

We recommend scheduling your car shipping pickup from Beaumont, TX at least 2-3 weeks in advance. However, booking earlier gives you the best results.

Here’s why advance booking matters:

• Better carrier availability: More time allows carriers to plan efficient routes through Beaumont
• Lower costs: Early booking helps carriers bundle multiple vehicles, reducing your shipping price
• Flexible scheduling: You’ll have more pickup date options to choose from

For peak seasons (summer months and holidays), consider booking 4-6 weeks ahead. Beaumont’s location along major Texas shipping routes means regular carrier traffic, but popular times fill up quickly.

Need faster service? We offer expedited shipping options, though these typically cost more than standard scheduling.

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 budget-friendly option. Your car rides on an open trailer, exposed to weather and road debris. This works great for most everyday vehicles and costs significantly less.

Enclosed transport protects your vehicle inside a covered trailer, shielding it from weather, dust, and road hazards. This premium service costs 40-60% more than open transport but is worth it for luxury cars, classics, or vehicles with custom paint jobs.

For most Beaumont residents shipping standard vehicles, open transport offers excellent value and reliability. Choose enclosed transport if your car is worth over $50,000 or has sentimental value you can’t replace. Read our complete open vs enclosed auto transport guide to help you decide which option fits your needs and budget.
