Camarillo, CA Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Camarillo, CA 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 move during transit.

Clean your car: Wash both inside and outside so you can easily 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 the driver can load and unload it.

Document existing damage: Take photos of any scratches or dents before pickup.

Have keys ready: Provide one set of working keys to the carrier.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured during transport from Camarillo, CA. All Sherpa Auto Transport carriers must carry minimum $1,000,000 liability insurance and $100,000 cargo insurance.

Before your Camarillo 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 policy for extra protection.

This insurance covers your vehicle from pickup in Camarillo through delivery at your destination. You can ship with confidence knowing your car is protected throughout the entire journey.

• More flexibility: You’ll have more pickup date options to choose from
• Less stress: No last-minute scrambling to find available carriers

Need to ship sooner? We can often arrange pickup within 2-7 days, but expect higher costs for rush service. Contact our team to discuss your specific timeline and get the best solution for your Camarillo car shipping needs.

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 uncovered trailers that expose your car to weather and road debris. It’s the most common and affordable option, costing about 50% less than enclosed transport.

Enclosed transport uses covered trailers that fully protect your vehicle from the elements. This premium service costs more but provides complete protection from rain, snow, dust, and flying debris.

Most Camarillo residents choose open transport for everyday vehicles since it’s reliable and cost-effective. However, enclosed transport is worth the extra cost if you’re shipping a luxury car, classic vehicle, exotic car, or any car with custom paint or modifications that could be damaged by exposure.

Both options are safe and insured. The choice comes down to your budget and how much protection your vehicle needs. See our open vs enclosed auto transport guide for a detailed comparison to help you decide.

Yes, Sherpa Auto Transport offers convenient door-to-door service for Camarillo residents. When you book your car shipment, simply provide your pickup and delivery addresses. Our carrier will come directly to your home or business in Camarillo to collect your vehicle and deliver it right to your destination.

In some cases, large transport trucks cannot access certain residential streets due to low-hanging branches, narrow roads, or HOA restrictions common in some Camarillo neighborhoods. If this happens, our driver will arrange to meet you at a nearby safe location like a shopping center or gas station – usually within a few blocks of your address.

This door-to-door service saves you time and hassle compared to terminal-to-terminal shipping, where you would need to drop off and pick up your car at specific facilities. Most customers find our door-to-door option much more convenient for their busy schedules.

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.
