Prosper, TX Car Shipping

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

Remove personal items: Take out all belongings, toll tags, and fragile items. Carriers typically don’t insure personal items left in the vehicle.

Clean your car: Wash the exterior so you can document any existing damage with photos before shipping.

Check fluids and battery: Ensure your car has enough fuel (about 1/4 tank), and the battery is charged so it can be driven on and off the carrier.

Remove accessories: Take off bike racks, spoilers, or other loose exterior items that could be damaged during transit.

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

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

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured during transport from Prosper, TX. All carriers in our network must carry a minimum of $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 valid and current. 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 throughout the entire journey from Prosper to your destination. You can ship with confidence knowing that comprehensive insurance protection is included in every quote.

We recommend scheduling your car shipment from Prosper, TX at least 1-2 weeks in advance for the best results.

Booking early gives carriers more time to plan efficient routes and combine your vehicle with other shipments heading in the same direction. This often leads to better pricing and faster pickup times.

That said, we understand plans can change. If you need expedited service, we can often arrange pickup within 2-5 business days, though this may come with higher costs and fewer carrier options.

Best practice: Book as soon as you know your moving dates. The more flexible you are with your pickup window, the easier it is to find a quality carrier at a competitive rate.

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 an open-air trailer that exposes your vehicle to weather and road elements. It’s the most common and affordable option, costing about 50% less than enclosed transport. Most vehicles shipped to and from Prosper, TX use this method safely.

Enclosed auto transport ships your car in a fully covered trailer, protecting it from weather, dust, and debris. This option is ideal for luxury cars, classic vehicles, exotic sports cars, or any car with custom paint work that needs extra protection.

For most everyday vehicles, open transport is perfectly safe and cost-effective. However, if you’re shipping a high-value or collector vehicle from Prosper, the added protection of enclosed transport may be worth the investment. Check out our open vs enclosed auto transport guide for a detailed comparison.

Yes, we offer door-to-door auto transport service for Prosper, TX residents. This is our most popular shipping option because it’s convenient and saves you time.

Here’s how it works: When you book your shipment, you provide your pickup and delivery addresses. Our carrier will come directly to your home or business in Prosper to pick up your vehicle and deliver it right to your destination address.

In most Prosper neighborhoods, door-to-door service works perfectly. However, some residential streets have restrictions that may prevent large car carriers from accessing them safely. These include:

• Narrow streets or tight turns
• Low-hanging trees or power lines
• Weight restrictions on certain roads
• HOA regulations

If your street isn’t accessible for a large carrier, don’t worry. Your driver will work with you to find a nearby meeting spot that’s convenient for you, such as a shopping center parking lot, gas station, or main road entrance to your neighborhood.

Door-to-door service is included in your quote at no extra charge, making it an easy and hassle-free way to ship your vehicle to or from Prosper.

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.
