Aurora, CO Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Aurora, CO is simple but important. Here’s what you need to do:

Remove personal items: Take out all belongings, including items in the glove box, trunk, and console. Carriers are not responsible for personal property.

Clean your car: Wash your vehicle inside and out. This helps you spot any existing damage during the pre-transport inspection.

Check fluids and battery: Ensure your car has enough gas (about 1/4 tank) and that the battery is charged. Fix any fluid leaks before pickup.

Remove or secure loose parts: Take off custom accessories, spoilers, or anything that could fall off. Secure or remove toll passes, GPS devices, and phone chargers.

Document existing damage: Take photos of your car from all angles. Note any scratches, dents, or issues on the inspection report.

Have keys ready: Provide one set of working keys to the driver. Keep a spare set for yourself.

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

Before your Aurora car shipment begins, we verify that your carrier’s insurance is active and valid. This protects your vehicle during loading, transport, and delivery.

For added protection, all our contracted carriers list Sherpa as a Certificate Holder on their insurance policy. This means we can directly access policy details and ensure continuous coverage throughout your shipment from Aurora.

Your vehicle is protected from the moment it leaves Aurora until it reaches its destination. Our insurance requirements exceed industry standards to give you peace of mind during your car shipping experience.

For car shipping from Aurora, CO, we recommend booking your pickup service 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 matters:

• Better pricing: Carriers can plan routes more efficiently when they have advance notice
• More scheduling options: You’ll have first pick of available pickup windows
• Route optimization: Your vehicle can be bundled with other shipments heading in the same direction

During peak seasons (summer months and winter holidays), consider booking 4-6 weeks ahead as demand increases significantly. Aurora’s location along major transport corridors makes it a popular pickup point, so early scheduling helps ensure smooth service.

Need to ship last-minute? We can often accommodate rush orders, though expect higher rates and limited scheduling flexibility.

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 is the most common and cost-effective option. Your car rides on an open trailer alongside other vehicles. It’s exposed to weather and road debris, but it’s perfectly safe for most cars. About 90% of vehicles ship this way.

Enclosed auto transport protects your car inside a covered trailer. It costs 40-60% more than open transport, but it’s worth it for luxury cars, classics, or vehicles with custom paint jobs. Your car stays protected from weather, dust, and road debris during the journey from Aurora.

Most Aurora residents choose open transport because it’s reliable and affordable. Consider enclosed transport if your car is worth over $50,000 or has sentimental value. See our complete open vs enclosed guide for more details.
