Quincy, MA Car Shipping

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

Remove personal items: Take out all belongings, including items in the glove box, trunk, and under seats. Carriers are not responsible for personal property.

Clean your car: Wash your vehicle inside and out. This helps you spot any existing damage during the inspection.

Check fluids and battery: Ensure your car has enough gas (about 1/4 tank), oil, and coolant. Make sure your battery is charged.

Remove accessories: Take off toll passes, GPS units, bike racks, and any loose parts that could fall off during transport.

Document condition: Take photos of your car from all angles before pickup.

Provide a working key: Give the driver a spare key that starts the engine.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping from Quincy, MA. All Sherpa Auto Transport carriers must carry a minimum of $1,000,000 in liability insurance and $100,000 in cargo insurance.

Before your Quincy 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 during loading, transport, and delivery. You can ship from Quincy with confidence knowing your car is protected every mile of the journey.

For car shipping from Quincy, MA, we recommend scheduling your pickup at least 1-2 weeks in advance. However, booking earlier gives you better options and pricing.

Here’s why advance booking helps:

• Better carrier availability – More drivers service the Boston metro area
• Lower costs – Carriers can group your car with other shipments
• Flexible timing – You avoid rush fees and last-minute stress

If you need pickup within a few days, we offer expedited service for urgent moves. Keep in mind that rush orders typically cost 25-50% more than standard bookings.

For the best rates and service from Quincy, book your car shipment as soon as you know your moving date. This helps our carriers plan efficient routes along I-95 and other major highways serving the area.

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 trailers where your car is exposed to weather and road debris. It costs less and works well for most everyday vehicles. Enclosed auto transport uses covered trailers that fully protect your car from the elements.

Enclosed transport typically costs 40-60% more than open transport. Choose enclosed if you have a luxury car, classic vehicle, exotic sports car, or custom paint job that needs extra protection during shipping from Quincy, MA.

Most people choose open transport because it’s reliable and affordable. Your car gets the same careful handling either way. See our open vs enclosed auto transport guide for a detailed comparison to help you decide what’s best for your Quincy car shipping needs.
