Peoria, AZ Car Shipping

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

Clean your vehicle: Wash the exterior so you can document any existing damage with photos.

Remove personal items: Take out all belongings, toll passes, and fragile items. These aren’t covered by carrier insurance.

Remove or secure accessories: Take off bike racks, spoilers, and antenna extensions that could get damaged during transit.

Check fluids and battery: Ensure your car is in good running condition with no leaks. Make sure the battery is charged.

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

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

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

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when transporting from Peoria, AZ. Every carrier in our network must carry a minimum of $1,000,000 in liability insurance and $100,000 in cargo insurance.

Before your shipment, we verify that the carrier’s insurance is active and valid. We also require all carriers to add Sherpa Auto Transport as a Certificate Holder on their policy. This gives you extra protection and peace of mind.

You’ll receive a copy of the carrier’s insurance certificate before pickup. If you have questions about coverage, our team is happy to help explain the details.

We recommend scheduling your pickup from Peoria, AZ at least 1-2 weeks in advance for the best results. However, booking earlier gives you more options and often better rates.

Here’s why advance notice helps:

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

If you need faster service, we can often accommodate rush shipments with 2-3 days notice, though this typically comes at a premium price.

Pro tip: If you know your moving date, book as soon as your plans are confirmed. This ensures the smoothest experience and gives you peace of mind.

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 and common shipping method. Most vehicles in Peoria, AZ are shipped this way.

Enclosed auto transport protects your vehicle inside a covered trailer. It costs 40-60% more than open transport but shields your car from weather, dust, and road debris—ideal for luxury cars, classics, or custom vehicles.

For most daily drivers, open transport is perfectly safe and cost-effective. Choose enclosed transport if you’re shipping a high-value vehicle or want maximum protection. Learn more in our open vs enclosed auto transport guide.

This is rare, but we always prioritize safety and accessibility.

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.
