Mesquite, TX Car Shipping

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

Remove personal items: Take out all belongings, toll tags, and loose items from your car. Carriers typically don’t insure personal property during transit.

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

Document the condition: Take photos of your vehicle from all angles. Note any scratches, dents, or damage on the inspection report.

Check fluids and battery: Ensure your car has adequate fuel (about 1/4 tank), and the battery is charged. Fix any leaks before transport.

Secure or remove accessories: Remove or secure antennas, spoilers, bike racks, and any custom accessories that could be damaged.

Disable alarms: Turn off your car alarm to avoid issues during transport.

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

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping from Mesquite, TX. Every carrier in our network must carry at least $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 extra protection and peace of mind during transport.

Your vehicle is covered from pickup in Mesquite until delivery at your destination. If you have questions about insurance coverage, our team is happy to provide carrier insurance details before your shipment begins.

We recommend scheduling your car shipping service from Mesquite, TX at least 1-2 weeks in advance. However, booking earlier gives you more options and better rates.

Here’s why advance notice helps:

• Better carrier availability: More time allows carriers to plan routes through Mesquite efficiently
• Lower costs: Carriers can combine your shipment with others heading the same direction
• Flexible scheduling: You’ll have more pickup date options to choose from

Need to ship on short notice? We can often arrange pickup within 2-5 days, though rates may be higher for rush service. Peak moving seasons (summer and month-end) typically require more advance booking.

Pro tip: Contact us as soon as you know your moving dates. We’ll help you find the best timing and pricing for your Mesquite car shipment.

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 expose your vehicle to weather and road elements. It’s the most common and affordable option, costing significantly less than enclosed transport. Most vehicles shipped to and from Mesquite, TX use this method safely.

Enclosed auto transport ships your car in a covered trailer, protecting it from weather, debris, and road dust. This option costs 50-60% more but is ideal for luxury cars, classics, exotic vehicles, or cars with custom paint jobs.

For most everyday vehicles, open transport is perfectly safe and cost-effective. Choose enclosed transport if your vehicle is high-value or requires extra protection. Learn more in our open vs enclosed auto transport guide.

In some cases, large car carriers may face challenges on narrow residential streets or roads with low-hanging trees and tight turns. If your street isn’t accessible for a full-size carrier, we’ll work with you to choose a nearby meeting spot like a shopping center, gas station, or parking lot. This is rare, but we always prioritize safety and follow local regulations.

Door-to-door service saves you time and hassle—no need to drive to a terminal or drop-off location. It’s our most popular option and is included in most quotes at no extra charge.

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.
