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

Before your Sun City car shipment begins, 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 insurance policy for extra protection.

This comprehensive coverage protects your vehicle during loading, transport, and delivery. You can ship from Sun City with confidence knowing your car is protected by professional-grade insurance throughout the entire journey.

For car shipping from Sun City, AZ, we recommend booking your pickup service 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 availability: You’ll have more carrier options to choose from
• Flexible scheduling: You can pick dates that work best for your move

If you need faster service, we can often arrange pickup within 1-7 days, but expect higher rates for rush orders. During peak moving seasons (summer and early fall), book even earlier if possible.

Pro tip: The moment you know your moving date, book your car transport. Early birds get the best deals and smoothest service from Sun City, AZ.

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 and reliable for most vehicles.

Enclosed transport costs 40-60% more but protects your car inside a covered trailer. This shields it from weather, dust, and road debris. Choose enclosed transport if you have a luxury car, classic vehicle, or custom paint job.

For Sun City, AZ residents, open transport works well for everyday cars. The desert climate means less rain risk during transport. However, if you’re shipping a valuable vehicle, enclosed transport offers peace of mind against dust storms and extreme weather.
