Victorville, CA Car Shipping

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

Remove Personal Items: Take out all personal belongings, including toll passes, electronics, and fragile items. Car carriers are not responsible for items left inside your vehicle.

Clean Your Car: Wash your vehicle inside and out. This makes it easier to spot any 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 so the carrier can move your vehicle.

Remove Accessories: Take off any loose parts like bike racks, spoilers, or antennas that could get damaged during transport.

Document Everything: Take photos of your car from all angles before pickup. This helps with insurance claims if needed.

Have Keys Ready: Provide one working key to the driver. Keep a spare for yourself.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured during transport from Victorville, 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 Victorville car shipment begins, we verify that your carrier’s insurance is current and valid. We also require all carriers to add Sherpa as a Certificate Holder on their policy for extra protection.

This comprehensive coverage protects your vehicle throughout the entire journey from Victorville to your destination. You can ship with confidence knowing your car is protected by professional-grade insurance coverage.

We recommend scheduling your car pickup from Victorville, CA at least 2-3 weeks in advance for the best rates and availability. However, booking even earlier gives you more options.

Here’s why advance booking helps:

• Better pricing: Carriers can group your vehicle with others heading to the same area
• More scheduling flexibility: You’ll have first pick of available pickup dates
• Less stress: No last-minute scrambling to find available transport

That said, we understand plans change. If you need expedited service, we can often arrange pickup within 3-7 days from Victorville, though this may cost more.

Pro tip: Victorville’s location along major highways makes it easier to find carriers, but popular moving seasons (summer and early fall) fill up faster. Book early during these busy times.

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 is the most common and budget-friendly option. Your car rides on an open trailer, exposed to weather and road debris. It’s safe and reliable for most vehicles.

Enclosed auto transport provides full protection inside a covered trailer. Your car is shielded from weather, dust, and road debris. This option costs 40-60% more than open transport.

Choose open transport if: You have a standard daily driver and want to save money. Most cars from Victorville ship this way without issues.

Choose enclosed transport if: You own a luxury car, classic vehicle, or custom car with special paint. The extra cost protects your investment during the long haul from Victorville.

Both options are insured and tracked. See our complete open vs enclosed guide to help you decide what’s best for your Victorville car shipment.
