Macon, GA Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Macon, GA is simple but important. First, remove all personal items from inside your car – carriers are not responsible for lost belongings. Take out toll passes, GPS devices, and any loose items that could shift during transport.

Clean your vehicle inside and out before pickup. This makes it easier to spot any existing damage during the inspection. Document any scratches, dents, or issues with photos.

Make sure your car is in running condition with less than a quarter tank of gas. Remove or secure any loose exterior parts like spoilers, antennas, or bike racks that could be damaged. Finally, have a spare key ready for the driver – they’ll need it to load and unload your vehicle.

For complete preparation details, check our Vehicle Shipping Tips guide. Following these steps ensures a smooth pickup from Macon and safe delivery to your destination.

We recommend scheduling your car pickup from Macon, GA at least 2-3 weeks in advance. This gives our carriers enough time to plan efficient routes and group your vehicle with other shipments heading in the same direction.

Why book early? Macon’s central Georgia location makes it a popular stop for carriers traveling between major cities like Atlanta, Savannah, and Jacksonville. By booking ahead, you’ll have more carrier options and better pricing.

Need faster service? We offer expedited shipping with as little as 2-3 days notice, though this typically costs more. For the best rates and flexibility, stick with our standard 2-3 week booking window.

Peak season tip: During summer months and holidays, book 3-4 weeks ahead as demand increases significantly.

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.

Open auto transport uses open trailers that expose your car to weather and road debris. It costs less and works well for most everyday vehicles. Enclosed auto transport uses covered trailers that fully protect your car from the elements.

• Cost: Enclosed transport costs 40-60% more than open transport
• Protection: Enclosed offers complete protection from weather, dust, and road debris
• Availability: Open transport has more carriers and faster pickup times
• Best for: Open works for daily drivers; enclosed is ideal for luxury cars, classics, or custom vehicles

For most Macon residents shipping standard vehicles, open transport provides good value and reliability. Choose enclosed if you have a high-value car, custom paint, or want maximum protection. See our complete open vs enclosed guide for detailed comparisons and pricing.
