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

Before your shipment begins, we verify that your carrier’s insurance is valid and current. This gives you peace of mind knowing your vehicle is protected throughout the entire journey from Parker.

For added protection, all our contracted carriers list Sherpa Auto Transport as a Certificate Holder on their insurance policy. This means we monitor coverage directly to ensure your vehicle stays protected from pickup to delivery.

You’ll receive a copy of the carrier’s insurance certificate before your vehicle is picked up from Parker, so you have all the documentation you need.

We recommend scheduling your car shipment from Parker, CO 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 as little as 24-48 hours notice. Keep in mind this option typically costs more due to the rush scheduling.

Best practice: Book as soon as you know your moving dates. This ensures the smoothest experience and the best value for your Parker car shipment.

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 are shipped this way, including most everyday cars.

Enclosed auto transport ships your vehicle inside a covered trailer, protecting it from weather, dust, and road debris. It costs 40-60% more than open transport but provides extra security for high-value vehicles.

Choose open transport if: You have a standard vehicle and want the best price. It’s safe, reliable, and perfect for most cars.

Choose enclosed transport if: You’re shipping a luxury car, classic vehicle, exotic sports car, or any car with custom paint or modifications that need extra protection.

For Parker residents, both options work well year-round. Learn more in our open vs enclosed auto transport guide.

Yes! We offer door-to-door auto transport service to and from Parker, CO. This is our most popular option because it’s simple and convenient.

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 location in Parker to pick up your vehicle and deliver it right to your destination address.

In most cases, door-to-door service works perfectly in Parker’s residential areas. However, if your street has low-hanging trees, tight turns, or narrow roads that a large carrier truck can’t safely navigate, the driver will contact you to arrange a nearby meeting spot. This is usually a shopping center parking lot, gas station, or main road that’s just a short distance away.

Door-to-door service saves you time and hassle—no need to drive to a terminal or meet at a distant location. We handle the logistics so you can focus on your move.

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.
