Longmont, CO Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Longmont, CO is simple when you follow these key steps. First, remove all personal items from inside your car, including toll passes, GPS devices, and any fragile objects that could shift during transit. Clean your vehicle thoroughly – this helps you document any existing damage with photos before pickup.

Make sure your car is in good working condition with no more than a quarter tank of gas. Remove or secure any loose exterior accessories like bike racks, spoilers, or antennas that could be damaged during transport. Have a spare key ready for the carrier driver, as they’ll need to move your vehicle on and off the transport truck.

For complete preparation details, check our Vehicle Shipping Tips guide. Following these steps ensures your car arrives safely at its destination from Longmont.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping from Longmont, CO. At Sherpa Auto Transport, we require all our carriers to maintain minimum insurance coverage of $1,000,000 in liability insurance and $100,000 in cargo insurance.

Before your Longmont vehicle shipment begins, we verify that your carrier’s insurance policy is current and valid. We also require all contracted carriers to add Sherpa as a Certificate Holder on their insurance policy for added protection.

This means your car is covered from pickup in Longmont through delivery at your destination. You can ship with confidence knowing your vehicle is protected by comprehensive insurance coverage throughout the entire transport process.

We recommend scheduling your car pickup from Longmont, CO at least 1-2 weeks in advance. However, booking earlier gives you the best results.

Here’s why advance booking helps:

• Better pricing: Carriers can group your car with other shipments in the Longmont area
• More availability: Popular routes from Colorado fill up quickly
• Flexible timing: You’ll have more pickup date options

If you need last-minute shipping, we can often arrange pickup within 2-7 days. But expect higher costs and fewer carrier options.

Peak season tip: During summer months and holidays, book 3-4 weeks ahead. Many people move during these times, creating high demand for car shipping from Longmont.

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. It’s 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 protecting your investment.

For Longmont residents, both options are available. Weather along Colorado routes can be unpredictable, so consider enclosed transport for valuable vehicles. See our complete open vs enclosed auto transport guide for detailed comparisons and pricing.
