Queen Creek, AZ Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Queen Creek, AZ is simple. Follow these key steps:

Remove personal items: Take out all belongings, toll passes, and loose items from inside your car. Carriers typically don’t insure personal items during transit.

Clean your vehicle: Wash your car so you can document its condition with photos before shipping.

Check for leaks and mechanical issues: Make sure your vehicle runs properly. Fix any fluid leaks and ensure the battery is charged.

Secure or remove accessories: Take off or secure any exterior items like bike racks, spoilers, or antennas that could be damaged.

Maintain fuel levels: Keep your gas tank about 1/4 full. This reduces weight while ensuring the driver can load and unload your vehicle.

Provide a working key: Make sure you have a key available for the carrier.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured during transport from Queen Creek, AZ. All carriers in our network must carry a minimum of $1,000,000 in liability insurance and $100,000 in cargo insurance.

Before your shipment begins, we verify that the carrier’s insurance policy is active and in good standing. This ensures your vehicle is protected throughout the entire journey from Queen Creek.

For added security, all contracted carriers list Sherpa Auto Transport as a Certificate Holder on their insurance policy. This means we monitor coverage directly and can step in if any issues arise.

You’ll receive a copy of the carrier’s insurance certificate before pickup, so you have peace of mind knowing exactly how your vehicle is protected.

We recommend scheduling your car shipping service from Queen Creek, AZ at least 1-2 weeks in advance. However, booking earlier gives you the best chance of securing competitive rates and flexible pickup times.

Here’s why advance booking helps:

• Better carrier availability: Carriers can plan routes more efficiently and bundle your vehicle with other shipments heading in the same direction
• More competitive pricing: Last-minute bookings often cost more due to limited carrier options
• Flexible scheduling: You’ll have more pickup window options that work with your timeline

That said, we understand plans change. If you need expedited service, we can often arrange pickups within 2-5 days, though this may come at a premium cost.

Pro tip: If you’re moving during peak season (May-September) or around holidays, try to book 3-4 weeks ahead to ensure availability.

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 elements during transit. This is the most common and affordable option, used for about 90% of all vehicle shipments.

Enclosed auto transport ships your vehicle inside a fully covered trailer, protecting it from weather, dust, and road debris. This premium service costs 40-60% more than open transport.

Which should Queen Creek residents choose? Most everyday vehicles ship safely via open transport. Consider enclosed transport if you’re shipping a luxury car, classic vehicle, exotic sports car, or any car with custom paint or modifications. Given Queen Creek’s desert climate, enclosed transport also protects against dust and sun exposure during loading.

See our open vs enclosed auto transport guide for a detailed comparison and pricing information.

Yes, we offer door-to-door auto transport service to and from Queen Creek, AZ. This is our most popular shipping option because it’s convenient and hassle-free.

Queen Creek is accessible for most car carriers, but there are some situations where door-to-door service may not be possible. If your street has low-hanging trees, tight turns, or narrow roads that a large carrier truck can’t navigate safely, we’ll work with you to find a nearby meeting spot. This is often a shopping center parking lot, gas station, or main road that’s just a short distance away.

Our team will communicate with you throughout the process to ensure a smooth pickup and delivery experience in Queen Creek.

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.
