Roswell, GA Car Shipping

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

Remove personal items: Take out all belongings, toll passes, and loose items from your car. Carriers typically don’t insure personal property left inside.

Clean your vehicle: Wash the exterior so you can document its condition with photos before shipping.

Check for leaks and issues: Make sure your car runs properly, has no fluid leaks, and the battery is charged. Inform your carrier of any mechanical problems.

Secure or remove accessories: Take off or secure any loose parts like antennas, spoilers, or bike racks that could get damaged during transport.

Maintain proper fuel level: Keep your gas tank between 1/4 and 1/2 full. This reduces weight while ensuring the car can be loaded and unloaded.

Provide a working key: Have a spare key ready to give the driver for loading and delivery.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured during transport from Roswell, GA. All carriers in our network are required to carry comprehensive insurance coverage, including:

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

Before your shipment begins, we verify that the carrier’s insurance policy is active and in good standing. We also require all contracted carriers to add Sherpa Auto Transport as a Certificate Holder on their policy for added protection.

This means your vehicle is protected from pickup in Roswell through delivery at your destination. You’ll receive the carrier’s insurance information before transport begins, giving you complete peace of mind.

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

Here’s why advance scheduling helps:

• Better carrier availability: More time allows carriers to plan efficient routes through the Roswell area
• Lower costs: Last-minute bookings often cost more due to limited availability
• Flexible pickup dates: You’ll have more control over your schedule
• Route optimization: Carriers can bundle your vehicle with others heading the same direction

If you need faster service, we can often accommodate rush shipments within 24-48 hours, though this may cost more. For the best experience, contact us as soon as you know your moving dates.

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 affordable option. Your vehicle is loaded onto an open-air trailer alongside other cars, similar to what you see on highways. This method is safe, reliable, and costs significantly less than enclosed transport.

Enclosed auto transport provides complete protection inside a covered trailer. It shields your vehicle from weather, road debris, and dust during transit. This option costs 50-60% more than open transport but offers maximum security.

Most Roswell, GA residents choose open transport for everyday vehicles. It’s cost-effective and perfectly safe for standard cars, trucks, and SUVs. Consider enclosed transport if you’re shipping a luxury car, classic vehicle, exotic sports car, or any automobile with custom paint or modifications that need extra protection.

Yes, we offer door-to-door auto transport service for Roswell, GA residents. This means we’ll pick up your vehicle from your home or business and deliver it directly to your destination address.

Here’s how it works:

At Pickup: When you book your shipment, you provide your preferred pickup address in Roswell. Our carrier will come directly to that location to load your vehicle onto the transport truck.

At Delivery: Your car will be delivered right to the address you specify at your destination, whether that’s across the state or across the country.

Important Note: In some cases, large car carriers cannot access certain residential streets in Roswell due to low-hanging trees, narrow roads, or tight turns. If this happens, our driver will work with you to find a safe, nearby meeting spot like a shopping center parking lot or gas station. This is rare, but we always prioritize safety and follow local regulations.

Door-to-door service saves you time and hassle compared to terminal-to-terminal shipping. You won’t need to drive to a facility to drop off or pick up your vehicle. Most Roswell customers experience true door-to-door service without any issues.

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.
