Avondale, AZ Car Shipping

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

Remove personal items: Take out all belongings, including toll passes, GPS devices, and anything in the glove box or trunk. Items left in the car aren’t covered by insurance.

Clean your vehicle: Wash your car inside and out. This makes it easier to spot any damage during pickup and delivery inspections.

Check fluids and battery: Make sure your car has enough gas (about 1/4 tank), oil, and brake fluid. Your battery should be charged so the carrier can move your vehicle.

Remove loose parts: Take off custom accessories, spoilers, bike racks, or anything that could fall off during transport.

Have keys ready: You’ll need to give the driver at least one working key.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping from Avondale, AZ with Sherpa Auto Transport.

Every carrier in our network must carry:

• $1,000,000 minimum liability insurance
• $100,000 minimum cargo insurance

Before we assign your Avondale vehicle 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 car is covered from pickup in Avondale through delivery at your destination. Our insurance requirements exceed industry standards to give you peace of mind during transport.

We recommend booking your car shipping service from Avondale, AZ at least 2-3 weeks in advance. This gives you the best chance to secure competitive rates and flexible pickup dates.

Here’s why early booking matters:

• Better pricing: Carriers can plan routes more efficiently when they have advance notice
• More availability: Popular routes fill up quickly, especially during peak seasons
• Flexible scheduling: You’ll have more pickup window options to choose from

If you need faster service, we do offer expedited shipping options. However, rush orders typically cost 25-50% more than standard bookings.

For the most accurate timeline and pricing for your Avondale pickup, contact our team today. We’ll help you find the best solution for your schedule and budget.

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 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 road debris. This is ideal for luxury cars, classics, or vehicles with custom paint jobs.

For most Avondale residents shipping standard vehicles, open transport works great and saves money. Choose enclosed transport if you have a high-value car that needs extra protection. See our complete open vs enclosed transport guide for detailed comparisons and pricing.

Yes, Sherpa Auto Transport offers door-to-door auto transport service for Avondale, AZ residents. This means we pick up your vehicle from your home or office and deliver it directly to your new address.

Here’s how it works: When you book your shipment, simply provide your pickup and delivery addresses. Our assigned carrier will come to these exact locations whenever possible. However, some Avondale neighborhoods have narrow streets or low-hanging trees that make it tough for large car carriers to navigate safely.

If your street isn’t accessible, don’t worry! Our driver will work with you to find a nearby safe meeting spot like a shopping center parking lot or gas station. This is still considered door-to-door service since we bring your car as close to your door as safely possible.

This service saves you time and hassle compared to terminal-to-terminal shipping, where you’d need to drop off and pick up your vehicle at specific facilities.

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.
