Fallbrook, CA Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Fallbrook, CA is simple with these key steps:

Remove Personal Items: Take out all personal belongings, including toll passes, GPS devices, and any loose items that could shift during transport.

Clean Your Car: Wash your vehicle inside and out. This helps you spot any existing damage and makes the inspection process easier.

Document Condition: Take photos of your car from all angles before pickup. Note any scratches, dents, or other damage.

Prepare for Pickup: Have your keys ready and ensure your gas tank is between 1/4 and 1/2 full. Remove or secure any loose parts like spoilers or antennas.

Check Fluids: Make sure your car has enough oil, coolant, and brake fluid for loading and unloading.

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

Before we assign your Fallbrook car shipment, 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 means your vehicle is covered from pickup in Fallbrook through delivery at your destination. You can ship with confidence knowing your car is protected every mile of the journey.

For car shipping from Fallbrook, CA, we recommend booking at least 2-3 weeks in advance. This gives you the best chance to secure competitive rates and preferred pickup dates.

Here’s why early booking helps:

• Better pricing: Carriers can group your car with other vehicles heading the same direction
• More flexibility: You’ll have more pickup date options to choose from
• Less stress: Avoid last-minute rush fees and limited availability

Peak season tip: During busy times (summer months and holidays), book 3-4 weeks ahead. Fallbrook’s location in North County San Diego means good carrier availability, but popular routes fill up fast.

Need to ship sooner? We can often accommodate rush orders, though expect higher costs for expedited service.

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 trailers where your car is exposed to weather and road debris. This is the most common and affordable option, costing about 50% less than enclosed transport.

Enclosed auto transport protects your vehicle inside a covered trailer, shielding it from weather, dust, and road debris. This premium service costs more but offers 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, or custom car with special paint. The extra cost is worth the peace of mind for high-value vehicles.

For Fallbrook residents, both options are available. Learn more in our detailed open vs enclosed auto transport guide.

We’ll always choose the most convenient location possible for you.

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.
