Duluth, GA Car Shipping

Getting your car ready for shipping from Duluth, GA is simple. First, remove all personal items from inside your vehicle – this includes toll passes, GPS devices, and any loose items that could shift during transport. Next, clean your car inside and out so you can easily spot any damage during inspection.

Make sure your gas tank is no more than 1/4 full to reduce weight and meet safety rules. Remove or secure any exterior accessories like bike racks, spoilers, or antennas that could get damaged. Don’t forget to disable your car alarm and provide working keys to the driver.

Finally, document your car’s condition with photos before pickup. Check out our complete Vehicle Shipping Tips guide for a detailed checklist to ensure your car arrives safely at its destination.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping from Duluth, GA with Sherpa Auto Transport. We require all our carriers to maintain comprehensive insurance coverage to protect your vehicle during transport.

Here’s what covers your car:

• $1,000,000 minimum liability insurance – Protects against carrier negligence
• $100,000 minimum cargo insurance – Covers your vehicle’s value during transport
• Verified coverage – We check that insurance is active before your Duluth pickup

For extra peace of mind, all our carriers add Sherpa as a Certificate Holder on their insurance policy. This means we monitor coverage throughout your shipment from Duluth, GA to ensure continuous protection.

Important: While rare, if damage occurs during transport, we handle all insurance claims for you. Most Duluth residents find our coverage exceeds their expectations compared to other car shipping companies.

We recommend scheduling your car pickup from Duluth, GA at least 2-3 weeks in advance. This gives us enough time to find the best carrier and secure competitive rates for your shipment.

Booking early offers several key benefits:

• Better pricing: Carriers can group your vehicle with others heading to the same area
• More pickup options: You’ll have flexible scheduling instead of last-minute slots
• Reduced stress: No rushing to find available transport

If you need faster service, we do offer expedited shipping with 1-7 days notice, though this typically costs more. For the best experience and value, plan ahead when possible.

Peak seasons (summer months and winter holidays) may require even earlier booking due to higher demand.

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

Enclosed auto transport protects your car inside a covered trailer. This shields it from weather, dust, and road debris. It costs 40-60% more than open transport.

Choose open transport if: You have a regular daily driver and want to save money. Most cars ship this way safely.

Choose enclosed transport if: You own a luxury car, classic vehicle, or custom car. The extra cost protects your investment.

For Duluth, GA residents, both options work well. See our complete open vs enclosed guide to help you decide what’s best for your vehicle and budget.

Yes, we offer door-to-door auto transport service to and from Duluth, GA. This means we’ll pick up your car from your home or office and deliver it directly to your new address.

Here’s how it works: When you book your shipment, simply provide your pickup and delivery addresses. Our carrier will come to your location in Duluth to collect your vehicle and transport it to your destination. This saves you time and hassle compared to dropping off your car at a terminal.

In some cases, large trucks may not be able to access certain residential areas due to low-hanging branches, narrow streets, or HOA restrictions. If this happens, don’t worry – our driver will work with you to find a safe, nearby meeting spot like a shopping center or gas station. This is still much more convenient than traditional terminal-to-terminal shipping.

Door-to-door service is included in most of our shipping quotes at no extra charge, making it the preferred choice for customers moving to or from Duluth, GA.

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.
