Lynn, MA Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Lynn, MA is simple. Follow these key steps:

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

Remove personal items: Take out all belongings, toll passes (like E-ZPass), and fragile items. These aren’t covered by carrier insurance.

Check for leaks and mechanical issues: Ensure your car runs properly. Fix any fluid leaks before shipping.

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

Remove or secure accessories: Take off bike racks, spoilers, and other exterior add-ons that could get damaged.

Keep fuel low: Maintain about a quarter tank of gas. This reduces weight and meets safety requirements.

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

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when transporting from Lynn, MA. All carriers in our network must carry at least $1,000,000 in liability insurance and $100,000 in cargo insurance.

Before your shipment leaves Lynn, we verify that the carrier’s insurance is active and valid. We also confirm that Sherpa Auto Transport is listed as a Certificate Holder on their policy for added protection.

This coverage protects your vehicle throughout the entire journey from pickup in Lynn to final delivery. You can ship with confidence knowing your car is protected by comprehensive insurance every mile of the way.

We recommend scheduling your car shipping service from Lynn, MA at least 1-2 weeks in advance. However, booking earlier gives you the best results.

Here’s why early booking helps:

• Better pricing: Carriers can plan routes more efficiently and offer competitive rates
• More flexibility: You’ll have more pickup date options to choose from
• Route optimization: Your vehicle can be grouped with other shipments heading the same direction

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

For the smoothest experience, contact us as soon as you know your moving dates. We’ll work with you to find the best pickup window for your schedule and budget.

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. Your car is exposed to weather and road debris, but it’s the most affordable and widely available option. About 90% of vehicles shipped in the U.S. use open transport.

Enclosed auto transport protects your vehicle inside a covered trailer, shielding it from weather, dust, and road debris. It costs 50-60% more than open transport but provides maximum protection for high-value, classic, luxury, or custom vehicles.

For most standard vehicles shipping to or from Lynn, MA, open transport is perfectly safe and cost-effective. Choose enclosed transport if you’re shipping a collector car, exotic vehicle, or any car where extra protection is worth the premium price. See our open vs enclosed auto transport guide for more details.

Yes! We offer door-to-door auto transport service for Lynn, MA residents. This means we’ll pick up your vehicle from your home or business and deliver it directly to your destination address.

How it works: When you book your shipment, simply provide your pickup address in Lynn and your delivery location. Our carrier will come directly to you, making the process as convenient as possible.

Important note: While we aim for true door-to-door service, some Lynn neighborhoods have narrow streets, low-hanging trees, or parking restrictions that may prevent a large carrier truck from accessing your exact address. If this happens, don’t worry—our driver will work with you to find a safe, nearby meeting spot like a parking lot or gas station within a few blocks.

Most Lynn customers experience seamless door-to-door pickup and delivery. We’ll assess your specific location when you book to ensure the smoothest experience 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.
