Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping from Dunwoody, GA. All Sherpa Auto Transport carriers must carry:

• $1,000,000 minimum liability insurance
• $100,000 minimum cargo insurance

We verify each carrier’s insurance is active and valid before your Dunwoody pickup. This covers your vehicle during loading, transport, and delivery.

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.

Important: While rare, we recommend documenting your vehicle’s condition with photos before pickup in Dunwoody. This helps with any potential claims.

For car shipping from Dunwoody, GA, we recommend booking your pickup service at least 2-3 weeks in advance. This gives you the best chance to secure competitive rates and preferred pickup dates.

Here’s why early booking matters:

• Better pricing: Carriers can plan efficient routes and bundle shipments
• More flexibility: You’ll have multiple pickup date options
• Peak season protection: Summer months and holidays book up quickly

If you need expedited service, we can often arrange pickup within 3-5 days, though this may cost more. For the most stress-free experience shipping your vehicle from Dunwoody, book early and give yourself plenty of time.

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, classic vehicles, or cars with custom paint jobs.

For most Dunwoody residents shipping standard vehicles, open transport works perfectly fine. Choose enclosed transport if you’re shipping a high-value car or want maximum protection. See our complete open vs enclosed guide for detailed comparisons and pricing.

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.
