Greenwich, CT Car Shipping

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

Remove Personal Items: Take out all personal belongings, including toll passes (like E-ZPass), GPS devices, and any fragile items. Car carriers are not responsible for items left inside your vehicle.

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

Document Current Condition: Take photos of your car from all angles, noting any existing scratches, dents, or damage.

Check Fluids and Battery: Ensure your car has enough gas (about 1/4 tank), oil, and other fluids. Make sure the battery is charged and the car starts easily.

Remove Accessories: Take off any loose exterior items like bike racks, spoilers, or antennas that could be damaged during transport.

Have Keys Ready: Provide the carrier with a working key and any remote controls needed to move your vehicle.

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

Before your Greenwich car shipment begins, 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 Greenwich through delivery at your destination. Our insurance requirements exceed industry standards to give you peace of mind during transport.

For car shipping from Greenwich, CT, we recommend scheduling your pickup at least 2-3 weeks in advance. However, booking earlier is always better.

Here’s why advance booking matters:

• Better carrier availability: Greenwich is well-connected to major routes, but early booking ensures you get the best carriers
• Lower costs: Carriers can bundle your vehicle with others heading to similar destinations
• Flexible scheduling: More time allows for better coordination around your moving timeline

Peak season considerations: During busy periods (summer months, holidays), book 3-4 weeks ahead. Winter weather can also affect schedules in the Northeast.

Need faster service? We offer expedited shipping options, though these come at a premium. The key is giving us enough time to find the right carrier match for your specific route and budget.

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 uncovered trailers that expose your vehicle to weather and road debris. It’s the most common and affordable option, costing 30-50% less than enclosed transport. Your car travels safely secured on a multi-level trailer alongside other vehicles.

Enclosed auto transport protects your vehicle inside a covered trailer, shielding it from weather, dust, and road debris. This premium service costs more but is ideal for luxury cars, classic vehicles, or cars with custom paint jobs.

Which should Greenwich residents choose? Most everyday vehicles do well with open transport – it’s safe, reliable, and budget-friendly. Consider enclosed transport if you’re shipping a high-value vehicle, classic car, or have concerns about weather exposure during transport.

Both options are fully insured and handled by professional drivers. See our complete open vs enclosed auto transport guide for detailed comparisons and pricing.
