Arkansas Car Shipping

The cost to ship a car typically ranges from $500 to $1,500 for most routes. Your final price depends on several key factors:

Distance: Longer routes cost more. Shipping within Arkansas or to a nearby state costs less than cross-country transport.

Vehicle type: Larger vehicles like trucks and SUVs cost more to ship than standard sedans.

Season: Prices rise during peak summer months and winter snowbird season. Spring and fall often offer better rates.

Transport type: Open transport is more affordable. Enclosed transport costs more but provides extra protection.

Auto transport typically takes 1-10 days, depending on the distance and route. Here’s what to expect:

Local and regional shipments (within Arkansas or to neighboring states) usually take 1-3 days.

Mid-range routes (500-1,500 miles) typically take 3-5 days.

Cross-country shipments (coast-to-coast) generally take 7-10 days.

Several factors can affect delivery times, including weather conditions, traffic, and the carrier’s route. At Sherpa Auto Transport, we provide accurate pickup and delivery estimates upfront, so you know exactly when to expect your vehicle.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured during transport. All carriers in the Sherpa Auto Transport network are required to carry cargo insurance that covers your vehicle while it’s in their care.

Sherpa also provides additional coverage for extra peace of mind. This means your vehicle has multiple layers of protection throughout the shipping process.

Before transport begins, you’ll receive insurance details from your carrier, including policy information and coverage limits. We recommend reviewing these documents and taking photos of your vehicle before pickup.

If you have questions about insurance coverage, our team is here to help. Contact us anytime for specific details about your shipment.

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.

For the best results, we recommend booking your auto transport 1-2 weeks in advance for standard shipments. This gives you enough time to compare quotes, choose the right carrier, and secure your preferred pickup date.

However, timing can vary based on these factors:

• Peak seasons: Summer months and snowbird season (October-November and March-April) see higher demand. Book 2-4 weeks ahead during these times.
• Route popularity: Common routes to and from Arkansas cities like Little Rock may fill up faster during busy periods.
• Vehicle type: Specialty vehicles or enclosed transport may need more lead time to find the right carrier.

Need to ship sooner? We often accommodate rush shipments with as little as 24-48 hours notice, though this may come with premium pricing and limited carrier options.

Pro tip: The earlier you book, the more flexibility you’ll have with pricing and scheduling. Contact us today for a free quote and personalized timeline for your Arkansas auto transport.

The Price Lock Promise is Sherpa Auto Transport’s guarantee that the price you’re quoted is the price you’ll pay—no surprise increases or hidden fees.

When you book with us, your rate is locked in from the moment you confirm. This means no last-minute price hikes, even if fuel costs rise or market conditions change.

Many car shipping companies quote low prices to win your business, then increase the cost after you’ve committed. With Sherpa’s Price Lock Promise, you get honest, upfront pricing you can trust.

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.
