Beverly Hills, CA Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Beverly Hills is simple. Follow these steps to ensure a smooth pickup:

Remove personal items: Clear out all belongings from inside your car. Carriers are not insured for personal items, and extra weight can affect shipping costs.

Take out toll passes and accessories: Remove your FasTrak transponder, parking passes, garage door openers, and any loose items like phone chargers or sunglasses.

Clean your vehicle: Wash your car so you can document its condition with photos before shipping. This helps if you need to file a claim later.

Check for leaks and mechanical issues: Make sure your car runs properly. If it doesn’t start or has leaks, let your carrier know in advance.

Maintain low fuel level: Keep your gas tank between 1/4 and 1/2 full. This reduces weight while ensuring the carrier can load and unload your vehicle.

Provide a working key: Have a spare key ready to give the driver. They’ll need it to move your car on and off the trailer.

Secure or remove exterior accessories: Take off or tighten bike racks, spoilers, antennas, and custom mirrors that could get damaged during transport.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured during transport from Beverly Hills, CA. All carriers in our network must carry a minimum of $1,000,000 in liability insurance and $100,000 in cargo insurance.

Before your shipment begins, 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. We recommend taking photos of your vehicle before and after transport to document its condition.

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

Here’s why early booking helps:

• Better carrier availability: Beverly Hills is well-connected, but advance notice lets carriers plan efficient routes
• Lower costs: Carriers can combine your shipment with others heading the same direction
• Flexible scheduling: You’ll have more pickup date options to choose from

Need to ship sooner? We can often arrange expedited pickup within 2-5 days, though this typically costs more. During peak moving seasons (summer and end of month), we suggest booking 3-4 weeks ahead when possible.

The bottom line: book as early as you can, but we’re here to help even with last-minute requests.

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 during transit. This is the most common and affordable option, costing significantly less than enclosed transport.

Enclosed auto transport ships your vehicle in a fully covered trailer, protecting it from weather, dust, and road debris. It typically costs 50-60% more than open transport but offers maximum protection.

Which should you choose? Most Beverly Hills residents opt for open transport—it’s safe, reliable, and budget-friendly for everyday vehicles. However, if you’re shipping a luxury car, classic vehicle, exotic sports car, or any high-value automobile, enclosed transport is worth the investment for added peace of mind.

When you book with Sherpa Auto Transport, simply provide your pickup and delivery addresses. Our carrier will come to you, making the process as convenient as possible.

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.
