Mcdonough, GA Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from McDonough, GA is simple but important. Start by removing all personal items from inside your car, including toll passes, GPS devices, and any fragile items. Clean your vehicle inside and out so you can easily spot any damage during inspection.

Make sure your gas tank is between 1/4 and 1/2 full – this gives the carrier enough fuel to load and unload your car without adding extra weight. Remove or secure any loose exterior items like bike racks, spoilers, or antennas that could be damaged during transit.

Check that your battery is charged and your tires are properly inflated. Have a spare key ready for the driver, and take photos of your vehicle from all angles before pickup. For complete preparation guidelines, visit our Vehicle Shipping Tips page.

Finally, disable any car alarms to prevent issues during transport. Following these steps will help ensure your vehicle ships safely from McDonough to its destination.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured during transport from McDonough, GA. All Sherpa Auto Transport carriers must carry a minimum of $1,000,000 in liability insurance and $100,000 in cargo insurance.

Before we assign your McDonough car shipment, we verify that your carrier’s insurance is current and valid. We also require all carriers to add Sherpa as a Certificate Holder on their policy for extra protection.

This comprehensive coverage protects your vehicle throughout the entire journey from McDonough to your destination. Our insurance requirements exceed industry standards, giving you peace of mind during your car shipping experience.

For car shipping from McDonough, GA, we recommend booking your pickup service 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.

Booking early offers several benefits:

• Better pricing: Early bookings often qualify for lower rates
• More scheduling options: You’ll have more flexibility with pickup dates
• Reduced stress: Avoid last-minute rushing and potential delays

If you need faster service, we do offer expedited shipping options. However, rush orders typically cost more and may have limited availability, especially during peak moving seasons like summer months.

Pro tip: If you’re moving during busy times (May through September), consider booking 3-4 weeks ahead to ensure the best service and rates for your McDonough pickup.

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 vehicle rides on an open trailer alongside other cars, exposed to weather and road debris. This works great for everyday vehicles and costs significantly less.

Enclosed transport protects your car inside a covered trailer, shielding it from weather, dust, and road hazards. It costs 40-60% more than open transport but is worth it for luxury cars, classics, or vehicles with custom paint jobs.

For most McDonough residents shipping standard vehicles, open transport offers excellent value and reliability. Choose enclosed if your car is worth over $50,000 or has sentimental value you can’t replace. Learn more in our detailed open vs enclosed auto transport guide.

Yes, we offer door-to-door auto transport service for McDonough, GA residents. This means we’ll pick up your vehicle from your home or office and deliver it directly to your new address whenever possible.

When you book with Sherpa Auto Transport, simply provide your preferred pickup and delivery addresses. Our experienced carriers will do their best to reach both locations. However, some McDonough neighborhoods may have restrictions like narrow streets, low-hanging branches, or weight limits that prevent large car carriers from accessing certain areas.

If your specific address isn’t accessible, don’t worry. Our driver will work with you to find a safe, convenient nearby location such as:

• A local shopping center parking lot
• A nearby gas station
• An accessible street in your neighborhood

This door-to-door service saves you time and eliminates the need to drive to a terminal. Most McDonough customers find this the most convenient shipping option available.

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.
