Englewood, CO Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Englewood, CO is simple. Follow these steps to ensure a smooth pickup:

• Remove personal items: Clear out all belongings from inside your vehicle. Carriers are not insured for personal property.
• Take out toll passes and electronics: Remove E-ZPass, garage door openers, and any fragile items that could be damaged.
• Remove or secure accessories: Take off bike racks, roof boxes, spoilers, and antennas. Secure or remove anything that could come loose during transit.
• Clean your vehicle: Wash your car so you can document its condition with photos before shipping.
• Check fluid levels and tire pressure: Ensure your vehicle is in good running condition with no leaks.
• Leave a quarter tank of gas: Keep fuel low to reduce weight, but ensure enough to load and unload.
• Have a key ready: Provide the driver with a working key for loading and unloading.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured during transport from Englewood, CO. 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 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.

Your vehicle is covered from pickup in Englewood until delivery at your destination. If you have questions about insurance coverage, our team is happy to provide a copy of the carrier’s insurance certificate before transport begins.

We recommend scheduling your car shipment from Englewood, CO at least 1-2 weeks in advance for the best results. However, booking earlier gives you more advantages.

Here’s why advance booking helps:

• Better carrier availability: More carriers can bid on your shipment, which often means better rates
• Flexible scheduling: You’ll have more pickup date options that work with your timeline
• Route optimization: Carriers can bundle your vehicle with others heading in the same direction, reducing costs

If you need faster service, we offer expedited shipping with pickup possible in as little as 24-48 hours. Keep in mind this option typically costs more due to the rush nature of the service.

Bottom line: Book as early as you can. Two weeks is good, but 3-4 weeks is even better for the most options and competitive pricing.

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. This is the most common and affordable option, costing significantly less than enclosed transport. Your vehicle will be exposed to weather and road debris during transit, but it’s perfectly safe for most standard vehicles.

Enclosed auto transport ships your car in a fully covered trailer, protecting it from weather, dust, and road debris. This premium service typically costs 50-60% more than open transport. It’s ideal for luxury cars, classics, exotic vehicles, or cars with custom paint jobs.

For most Englewood residents shipping standard vehicles, open transport is the smart choice. It’s reliable, cost-effective, and used for over 90% of all car shipments nationwide. Choose enclosed transport only if your vehicle requires extra protection due to high value or special conditions.

What if my street isn’t accessible?

Englewood has a mix of residential streets, some with tight turns or low-hanging trees. If your location has any restrictions—like narrow roads, low clearances, or HOA regulations—our carrier will contact you to arrange a safe, nearby meeting spot. This might be a local parking lot, gas station, or main intersection. We always work with you to find the most convenient alternative.

Door-to-door service saves you time and hassle, making your car shipping experience as smooth as possible.

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.
