Wichita Falls, TX Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Wichita Falls, TX is simple. Follow these key steps:

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

Clean your vehicle: Wash your car inside and out. This makes it easier to document any existing damage before shipping.

Check for leaks and mechanical issues: Ensure your vehicle runs properly with no fluid leaks. Check tire pressure and battery charge.

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

Document the condition: Take photos of your vehicle from all angles before transport.

Provide a working key: Make sure you have a key available for the carrier to load and unload your vehicle.

Keep fuel low: Maintain about a quarter tank of gas. This reduces weight while ensuring enough fuel for loading and unloading.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured during transport from Wichita Falls, TX. All carriers in our network must carry a minimum of $1,000,000 in liability insurance and $100,000 in cargo insurance.

Before your shipment begins, we verify that the carrier’s insurance policy is active and in good standing. We also require all carriers to add Sherpa Auto Transport as a Certificate Holder on their policy for added protection.

This means your vehicle is covered from pickup in Wichita Falls through delivery to your destination. You’ll receive a copy of the carrier’s insurance certificate before transport begins, giving you complete peace of mind.

We recommend scheduling your car pickup from Wichita Falls, TX at least 1-2 weeks in advance. However, booking earlier gives you the best chance of securing lower rates and flexible pickup times.

Here’s why early booking helps:

• Better carrier availability: Carriers can plan routes more efficiently and bundle your vehicle with other shipments heading the same direction
• More competitive pricing: Last-minute bookings often cost more due to limited availability
• Flexible scheduling: You’ll have more options to choose pickup dates that work for your timeline

Need faster service? We can often arrange pickups in 2-5 days, though rush orders may include expedited fees. If you’re on a tight deadline, let us know and we’ll work to accommodate your schedule.

The key is to book as soon as you know your moving dates. This gives carriers time to coordinate routes through Wichita Falls and ensures smooth, affordable transport for your vehicle.

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 uses open-air trailers that carry multiple vehicles at once. Your car is exposed to weather and road debris, but it’s the most affordable and widely available option. About 90% of vehicles shipped in the U.S. use open transport.

Enclosed auto transport protects your vehicle inside a covered trailer, shielding it from weather, dust, and road debris. This costs 40-60% more than open transport but provides extra security for high-value, classic, luxury, or custom vehicles.

Which should you choose? Most standard vehicles do well with open transport. Consider enclosed transport if you’re shipping a classic car, exotic vehicle, or car with custom paint. Both options are safe and insured.

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.
