Prescott Valley, AZ Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Prescott Valley, AZ is simple but important. Start by removing all personal items from inside your car – carriers are not insured for personal belongings. Take out any toll passes, GPS devices, and loose items that could shift during transport.

Next, clean your vehicle inside and out so you can easily spot any damage during pickup and delivery inspections. Remove or secure any exterior accessories like bike racks, spoilers, or antenna toppers that could come loose on the road.

Make sure your car has no more than a quarter tank of gas to reduce weight and meet safety requirements. Have a spare key ready for the driver, and ensure your battery is charged and your car runs properly.

Finally, document your vehicle’s condition with photos before pickup. For complete preparation details, check our Vehicle Shipping Tips guide. Following these steps will ensure smooth transport from Prescott Valley to your destination.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping from Prescott Valley, AZ. All Sherpa Auto Transport carriers must carry a minimum of $1,000,000 in liability insurance and $100,000 in cargo insurance.

Before we assign your Prescott Valley 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 Prescott Valley through delivery at your destination. Our insurance requirements exceed industry standards to give you peace of mind during transport.

Important: While carrier insurance covers damage during transport, we recommend checking with your personal auto insurance about coverage gaps during shipping.

For car shipping from Prescott Valley, AZ, we recommend booking at least 2-3 weeks in advance. This gives carriers enough time to plan efficient routes and group your vehicle with other shipments heading in the same direction.

Here’s why early booking matters:

• Better pricing: More time allows carriers to optimize their loads
• More options: You’ll have access to more available carriers
• Flexible scheduling: Easier to work around your preferred pickup dates

If you need faster service, we can often arrange pickups within a few days, but expect higher costs for rush orders. Peak seasons (summer months and winter holidays) may require even more advance notice due to higher demand.

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 uses open trailers that expose your car to weather and road debris. It’s the most popular choice because it costs less and works well for most vehicles.

Enclosed transport ships your car inside a covered trailer, protecting it from weather, dust, and road debris. This option costs about 50-60% more than open transport.

Choose enclosed transport if you have a luxury car, classic vehicle, or custom paint job that needs extra protection. For everyday cars shipping to or from Prescott Valley, open transport is usually the smart choice.

Both options are safe and reliable. The decision comes down to your budget and how much protection your vehicle needs. See our open vs enclosed auto transport guide for more details.

We can also ship electric vehicles.
