Preparing your vehicle for shipping from Arizona to Wisconsin 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 loose that could shift during transport.

Clean your car: Wash both inside and outside so you can spot any damage during inspection.

Check fluids and battery: Make sure your car has enough gas (about 1/4 tank), oil, and a working battery so drivers can load and unload it.

Remove or secure accessories: Take off bike racks, spoilers, or anything that sticks out. These can get damaged on the road.

Have a spare key ready: Drivers need a key to move your car on and off the truck.

Take photos: Document your car’s condition before pickup in case you need them later.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured during transport from Arizona to Wisconsin. Every carrier in our network must carry a minimum of $1,000,000 in liability insurance and $100,000 in cargo insurance.

Before your car leaves Arizona, we verify that your assigned carrier’s insurance is active and valid. We also require all carriers to add Sherpa as a Certificate Holder on their policy, giving you extra protection throughout your Arizona to Wisconsin shipment.

This insurance coverage protects your vehicle from pickup in Arizona all the way to delivery in Wisconsin. You can ship with confidence knowing your car is covered by professional-grade insurance the entire journey.

We recommend scheduling your car pickup from Arizona 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 helps:

• Better pricing: Carriers can bundle your vehicle with other shipments heading to Wisconsin
• More options: You’ll have access to more available carriers and pickup windows
• Less stress: Avoid last-minute rushing and higher costs

If you need faster service, we can often arrange pickup within 3-7 days, but expect to pay premium rates. For the most savings on your Arizona to Wisconsin car shipment, book as early as possible.

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 cost-effective option for shipping your car from Arizona to Wisconsin. Your vehicle travels on an open trailer alongside other cars, exposed to weather and road conditions. This method costs significantly less and works well for most everyday vehicles.

Enclosed transport provides premium protection by housing your car inside a covered trailer. This option costs 40-60% more than open transport but shields your vehicle from weather, road debris, and dust during the long journey from Arizona to Wisconsin.

Choose enclosed transport if you’re shipping a luxury car, classic vehicle, exotic car, or any car with custom modifications. The extra cost is worth it for high-value vehicles that need maximum protection.

Choose open transport for standard daily drivers, as it’s safe, reliable, and budget-friendly. Most cars ship this way without any issues.

Yes, we offer door-to-door auto transport service from Arizona to Wisconsin. This means we pick up your car from your home or office and deliver it directly to your new address.

When you book with Sherpa Auto Transport, simply provide your pickup address in Arizona and delivery address in Wisconsin. Our carrier will come to these exact locations whenever possible. If your street has restrictions like low bridges, narrow roads, or no parking for large trucks, we’ll find a safe nearby spot like a shopping center or gas station.

Door-to-door service saves you time and hassle. You won’t need to drive to a terminal or arrange extra transportation. Most customers along the Arizona to Wisconsin route can use this service without any issues.

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.
