Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping from Corona, CA. All Sherpa Auto Transport carriers must carry $1,000,000 in liability insurance and $100,000 in cargo insurance at minimum.

Before your Corona pickup, 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 during loading, transport, and delivery. You’ll receive insurance details with your shipping documents before your Corona departure.

We recommend scheduling your car pickup from Corona, CA at least 2-3 weeks in advance. This gives you the best chance to secure competitive rates and reliable carriers.

Here’s why early booking matters:

• Better pricing: Carriers can plan efficient routes and offer lower rates
• More carrier options: Popular routes from Corona fill up quickly
• Flexible scheduling: You’ll have more pickup date options

If you need last-minute shipping (less than one week), we can still help, but expect higher costs and limited availability. For the smoothest experience shipping your vehicle from Corona, 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 uses multi-level trailers that expose your vehicle to weather and road debris. It’s the most common and affordable option, costing significantly less than enclosed transport.

Enclosed transport protects your car inside a covered trailer, shielding it from weather, dust, and debris. This premium service costs 50-60% more than open transport but provides maximum protection.

Choose open transport if: You have a standard daily driver and want to save money. Most cars ship safely this way.

Choose enclosed transport if: You own a luxury car, classic vehicle, exotic car, or have custom paint work that needs extra protection.

For Corona residents, both options are readily available given the area’s proximity to major shipping routes. See our complete open vs enclosed auto transport guide to help you decide which option fits your needs and budget.

Yes, Sherpa Auto Transport offers convenient door-to-door auto transport service for Corona, CA residents and those moving to the area. When you book your car shipment, simply provide your pickup and delivery addresses, and our assigned carrier will collect and deliver your vehicle directly to those locations whenever possible.

Corona’s well-developed road network and accessible neighborhoods make door-to-door service feasible for most areas. However, if your specific location has restrictions like narrow streets, low-hanging branches, or weight limits that prevent our large transport trucks from safely accessing your address, we’ll work with you to find a convenient nearby alternative. This might include a local shopping center, gas station, or public parking area within a few miles of your home.

Door-to-door service eliminates the hassle of driving to distant terminals, saving you time and effort. Our drivers will coordinate pickup and delivery times directly with you, ensuring a smooth experience from start to finish.

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.
