Dunwoody, GA Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Dunwoody, GA is simple. Follow these key steps:

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

Clean your vehicle: Wash your car inside and out. This makes it easier to spot any existing damage during the inspection.

Document the condition: Take photos of your vehicle from all angles before pickup. This protects you if any issues arise.

Check fluid levels and battery: Ensure your car is in good running condition with no leaks. The battery should be fully charged.

Maintain proper fuel level: Keep your gas tank about 1/4 full. This reduces weight while providing enough fuel for loading and unloading.

Secure or remove accessories: Take off or secure any loose parts like antennas, spoilers, or bike racks that could get damaged.

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

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

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured during transport from Dunwoody, GA. All Sherpa Auto Transport carriers 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 valid. We also require all carriers to add Sherpa as a Certificate Holder on their policy for added protection.

This means your vehicle is covered from pickup in Dunwoody through delivery at your destination. You can ship with confidence knowing professional insurance protection is included in your quote.

We recommend scheduling your car pickup from Dunwoody, GA at least 1-2 weeks in advance. This gives carriers enough time to plan efficient routes and match your shipment with others heading in the same direction.

For the best rates and flexibility, book even earlier if possible. During busy seasons like summer and the start of the year, booking 3-4 weeks ahead can help secure better pricing and more carrier options.

Need faster service? We offer expedited shipping with as little as 24-48 hours notice, though this typically costs more. Last-minute bookings can still work, but expect fewer carrier choices and higher prices.

Pro tip: The earlier you book, the more money you’ll save and the smoother your shipping experience will be.

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 option. About 90% of vehicles shipped from Dunwoody use this method because it’s safe, reliable, and cost-effective.

Enclosed auto transport uses fully covered trailers that protect your vehicle from the elements. It costs 40-60% more than open transport, but it’s worth it for luxury cars, classic vehicles, or cars with custom paint jobs.

Most standard vehicles leaving Dunwoody do just fine with open transport. Choose enclosed if you’re shipping a high-value vehicle or want maximum protection. See our open vs enclosed auto transport guide for more details.

Yes, we offer door-to-door auto transport service to and from Dunwoody, GA. This is our most popular option because it’s convenient and saves you time.

Here’s how it works: When you book your shipment, simply provide your pickup and delivery addresses. Our carrier will come directly to your home or business in Dunwoody to load your vehicle and deliver it right to your destination address.

In some cases, large car carriers may face challenges navigating narrow streets, low-hanging trees, or tight residential areas common in parts of Dunwoody. If your street isn’t accessible for a full-size carrier, don’t worry. Our driver will contact you to arrange a safe, nearby meeting spot like a shopping center parking lot or main road. This is still considered door-to-door service and ensures your vehicle is picked up and delivered as close to your location as possible.

We handle all the coordination to make your car shipping experience as smooth and hassle-free as 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.
