Yorba Linda, CA Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Yorba Linda, CA is simple but important. Start by removing all personal items from inside your car – this includes electronics, documents, and loose items that could shift during transit.

Clean your vehicle inside and out before pickup. This helps you spot any existing damage and makes the inspection process smoother. Take photos of your car from all angles as documentation.

Make sure your gas tank is between 1/4 and 1/2 full – enough fuel for loading and unloading, but not so much that it adds unnecessary weight. Remove or secure any exterior accessories like bike racks, spoilers, or loose trim pieces.

Check that your battery is charged and your car starts reliably. Disable any car alarms to prevent issues during transport. Finally, have a spare key ready for the driver.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping from Yorba Linda, CA. All Sherpa Auto Transport carriers must carry minimum $1,000,000 liability insurance and $100,000 cargo insurance.

Before we assign your Yorba Linda car shipment, we verify that your carrier’s insurance is active and valid. We also require all carriers to add Sherpa as a Certificate Holder on their policy for extra protection.

This means your vehicle is covered from pickup in Yorba Linda through delivery at your destination. Our insurance requirements exceed industry standards to give you peace of mind during transport.

For car shipping from Yorba Linda, CA, we recommend scheduling your pickup at least 2-3 weeks in advance. This gives you the best chance to secure competitive rates and preferred pickup dates.

Here’s why early booking matters:

• Better pricing: Carriers can plan efficient routes and offer lower rates
• More flexibility: You’ll have multiple pickup date options
• Route optimization: Your vehicle gets bundled with other shipments heading the same direction

If you need faster service, we offer expedited shipping with as little as 2-3 days notice. However, this typically costs more than standard scheduling.

Peak season tip: During busy months (summer and early fall), book 3-4 weeks ahead from Yorba Linda 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 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 significantly less.

Enclosed transport protects your car inside a covered trailer. This shields it from weather, dust, and road debris. It costs 40-60% more than open transport but is worth it for luxury cars, classics, or vehicles with custom paint jobs.

For most Yorba Linda residents shipping standard vehicles, open transport works perfectly. Choose enclosed transport if you’re moving a high-value car that needs extra protection. See our open vs enclosed auto transport guide for detailed comparisons and pricing.

Yes, Sherpa Auto Transport offers door-to-door auto transport service for Yorba Linda, CA residents. This means we’ll pick up your vehicle directly from your home or office and deliver it to your exact destination address.

When you book your car shipment, simply provide us with your preferred pickup and delivery locations. Our assigned carrier will coordinate with you to schedule convenient times for both pickup and delivery.

Important note: In some cases, large car carriers cannot access narrow residential streets or areas with low-hanging trees and power lines. If your Yorba Linda location has access restrictions, our driver will work with you to find a safe, nearby meeting spot like a shopping center or gas station – typically within a few blocks of your address.

Door-to-door service eliminates the hassle of driving to distant terminals, making your car shipping experience as convenient 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.
