Lawrenceville, GA Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Lawrenceville, GA is simple. Follow these steps:

Remove Personal Items: Take out all personal belongings, toll passes, and fragile items. Carriers are not insured for items left inside the vehicle.

Clean Your Vehicle: Wash your car so you can document its condition with photos before shipping. This helps if you need to file a claim later.

Check for Leaks and Mechanical Issues: Make sure your vehicle runs properly and has no fluid leaks. The battery should be charged and the tire pressure should be correct.

Remove or Secure Accessories: Take off or secure loose parts like antennas, spoilers, bike racks, and roof racks. These can be damaged during transport.

Disable Alarms: Turn off your car alarm to avoid issues during transit.

Provide a Key: Have a working key ready for the carrier. They’ll need it to load and unload your vehicle.

Keep Fuel Low: Leave only about a quarter tank of gas. This reduces weight and meets safety requirements.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured during transport from Lawrenceville, GA. Every carrier in our network must carry at least $1,000,000 in liability insurance and $100,000 in cargo insurance.

Before your shipment begins, we verify that the carrier’s insurance is active and valid. We also require all carriers to add Sherpa Auto Transport as a Certificate Holder on their policy. This gives you extra protection and peace of mind.

You’ll receive a copy of the carrier’s insurance certificate before pickup. If any damage occurs during transit, the carrier’s insurance covers repairs or replacement costs.

We recommend scheduling your pickup from Lawrenceville, GA at least 1-2 weeks in advance. However, booking earlier gives you more options and better rates.

Here’s why advance notice helps:

• Better carrier availability: Carriers can plan routes and bundle your vehicle with other shipments heading in the same direction
• More competitive pricing: Rush shipments often cost 20-30% more than standard bookings
• Flexible scheduling: You’ll have more pickup date options to choose from

If you need faster service, we can often arrange pickup within 2-5 days, though this may come at a premium. During peak moving seasons (summer and end-of-month periods), we suggest booking even earlier if possible.

The key is to book as soon as you know your moving dates. This ensures the smoothest experience and the best value for your car shipment from Lawrenceville.

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 conditions, but it’s the most affordable and popular option. This is how most new cars reach dealerships.

Enclosed auto transport ships your vehicle in a fully covered trailer, protecting it from weather, debris, and road elements. It costs 50-60% more than open transport but offers maximum protection.

Which should you choose? Most Lawrenceville residents use open transport—it’s safe, reliable, and cost-effective for everyday vehicles. Choose enclosed transport if you’re shipping a luxury car, classic vehicle, exotic sports car, or any vehicle with custom modifications or high value.

Yes, we offer door-to-door auto transport service to and from Lawrenceville, GA. This is our most popular shipping option because it’s convenient and hassle-free.

Here’s how it works: When you book your shipment, simply provide your pickup and delivery addresses. Our carrier will come directly to your home or business in Lawrenceville to pick up your vehicle and deliver it right to your destination address.

In most cases, door-to-door service works perfectly. However, some Lawrenceville neighborhoods have narrow streets, low-hanging trees, or tight turns that make it difficult for large car carriers to access safely. If this happens, don’t worry—our driver will contact you to arrange a nearby meeting spot, such as a shopping center parking lot or gas station. This is rare, but we want you to know all the possibilities upfront.

Door-to-door service saves you time and eliminates the need to drive to a terminal. It’s included in your quote at no extra charge, making it the easiest way to ship your car to or from Lawrenceville.

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.
