Oro Valley, AZ Car Shipping

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

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

Clean your car: Wash your vehicle inside and out. This helps you spot any existing damage during the pre-transport 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 bike racks, roof boxes, spoilers, and other add-ons that could get damaged or fall off during transport.

Have keys ready: Provide at least two working keys to the driver. Keep copies for yourself.

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.

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 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 for most vehicles and costs much less.

Enclosed transport protects your car inside a covered trailer. It costs 40-60% more than open transport but shields your vehicle from weather, dust, and debris.

Choose enclosed transport if you have a:

• Classic or luxury car
• Custom paint job
• High-value vehicle
• Low-clearance sports car

For most daily drivers leaving Oro Valley, open transport works great and saves money. For detailed comparisons, check our open vs enclosed auto transport guide.
