Denver, CO Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Denver is simple. Follow these key steps:

Clean your vehicle: Wash the exterior so you can document any existing damage with photos. This helps with the inspection process.

Remove personal items: Take out all belongings, toll passes, and loose items. These aren’t covered by insurance during transit.

Check fluids and battery: Ensure your car has adequate fuel (about 1/4 tank) and a charged battery. Fix any leaks before shipping.

Document condition: Take photos from all angles and note any scratches or dents on the inspection report.

Remove or secure accessories: Take off bike racks, spoilers, or custom antennas that could be damaged. Retract or remove the antenna.

Disable alarms: Turn off your car alarm to avoid issues during transport.

Provide a key: Give the carrier a working key for loading and unloading.

You’ll receive the carrier’s insurance information before pickup. If you have questions about coverage, our team is happy to help explain the details.

We recommend scheduling your car pickup from Denver, CO at least 1-2 weeks in advance. The earlier you book, the better your chances of securing competitive rates and flexible pickup times.

Booking early allows carriers to efficiently plan routes and combine your shipment with others heading in the same direction. This can save you money and reduce wait times.

If you need faster service, expedited shipping is available with as little as 24-48 hours notice, though this typically costs more. For the best experience and pricing, contact us as soon as you know your moving dates.

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-air trailers that carry multiple vehicles at once. Your car is exposed to weather and road debris, but it’s the most affordable and popular option. About 90% of vehicles ship this way, including most new cars from dealerships.

Enclosed auto transport protects your vehicle inside a covered trailer. It shields your car from weather, dust, and road debris. This option costs 50-60% more than open transport but is worth it for luxury cars, classics, exotic vehicles, or cars with custom paint jobs.

For most standard vehicles shipping to or from Denver, open transport works great. Choose enclosed transport if your vehicle is worth over $100,000, is a collector’s item, or has sentimental value you can’t risk. Learn more in our open vs enclosed auto transport guide.

Yes! We offer door-to-door auto transport service for Denver and the surrounding areas. This means we’ll pick up your vehicle from your home, office, or any address you choose, and deliver it directly to your destination.

What if the truck can’t access my street? Denver has some narrow residential streets and areas with low-hanging trees or tight turns. If your location isn’t accessible for a large car carrier, don’t worry. Our driver will contact you to arrange a convenient nearby meeting spot, like a grocery store parking lot or gas station. This is common and easy to coordinate.

Door-to-door service saves you time and hassle. You won’t need to drive to a terminal or drop-off location. We handle the logistics so you can focus on your move.

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.
