Denver, CO Car Shipping

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

Clean your car inside and out. This helps with the inspection process and lets you spot any existing damage.

Remove personal items. Take out toll passes, GPS devices, phone chargers, and any loose items from your car. Carriers aren’t responsible for personal belongings.

Check fluid levels and battery. Your car needs to start and move during pickup and delivery. Make sure you have enough gas (about 1/4 tank) and that your battery works.

Remove or secure accessories. Take off bike racks, spoilers, or any parts that stick out. These can get damaged during transport.

Have your keys ready. You’ll need to give one set to the driver at pickup.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured during transport from Denver, 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 Denver shipment begins, we verify that your carrier’s insurance is active and valid. We also require all contracted carriers to add Sherpa as a Certificate Holder on their policy for extra protection.

This means your car is covered from pickup in Denver until delivery at your destination. Our insurance requirements exceed industry standards to give you peace of mind during your vehicle transport.

For car shipping from Denver, 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 flexible scheduling options.

Why book early? Denver is a major transportation hub, but carriers need time to coordinate routes and group multiple vehicles together. This bundling process helps keep your costs down while ensuring reliable service.

Peak season considerations: During busy moving months (May through September), consider booking 3-4 weeks ahead. Winter weather in Colorado can also affect schedules, so extra lead time helps account for potential delays.

Last-minute bookings: While we can often accommodate rush orders, expect higher prices and limited carrier availability. If you need immediate pickup, call us directly to explore expedited options.

The bottom line: book as early as possible for the best rates, widest selection of carriers, and most flexible pickup windows from Denver.

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 is the most common and budget-friendly option. Your car rides on an open trailer, exposed to weather and road debris. It’s safe for most vehicles and costs significantly less.

Enclosed transport protects your car inside a covered trailer. It costs 40-60% more than open transport but shields your vehicle from weather, dust, and road debris. This option is ideal for luxury cars, classics, or vehicles with custom paint jobs.

For most Denver car shipments, open transport works perfectly fine. Choose enclosed transport if your vehicle is worth over $50,000 or has sentimental value you can’t replace. See our complete open vs enclosed guide for detailed comparisons and pricing.

Yes, Sherpa Auto Transport offers door-to-door service for Denver car shipping. This means we pick up your vehicle from your home, office, or chosen location and deliver it directly to your destination address.

Our door-to-door service works great in most Denver neighborhoods. However, some areas may have restrictions due to narrow streets, low-hanging branches, or HOA rules that prevent large car carriers. If your location isn’t accessible, don’t worry – we’ll arrange pickup at a nearby safe spot like a shopping center or gas station within a few miles of your address.

When you book with us, simply provide your preferred pickup and delivery addresses. Our team will confirm if door-to-door service is possible at both locations. This service saves you time and hassle compared to dropping off your car at a terminal across town.

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.
