Smyrna, GA Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Smyrna, GA is simple but important. Here’s what you need to do:

Remove personal items: Take out all belongings, including toll passes, GPS devices, and fragile items. Most carriers don’t allow personal items during transport.

Clean your car: Wash your vehicle inside and out. This helps you spot any existing damage during the inspection.

Check fluids and battery: Make sure your car has enough gas (about 1/4 tank), oil, and a working battery. Your car needs to start and drive onto the carrier.

Remove loose parts: Take off custom accessories, spoilers, or anything that could fall off during transport.

Have keys ready: Provide at least two working keys to the driver.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping from Smyrna, GA with Sherpa Auto Transport.

Every carrier in our network must carry:

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

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

This means you have peace of mind knowing your car is covered from pickup in Smyrna to delivery at your destination. All insurance costs are included in your quote – no hidden fees.

For car shipping from Smyrna, 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 flexible scheduling options.

Here’s why booking early matters:

• Better pricing: Carriers can group your vehicle with other shipments in the Smyrna area, reducing costs
• More availability: Peak seasons and holidays fill up quickly
• Less stress: You’ll have backup time if your first choice isn’t available

If you need last-minute service, we can often accommodate rush shipments within 3-7 days, though this typically costs more. During busy periods like summer months, winter snowbird season, or around holidays, book even earlier if possible.

Pro tip: Have flexible pickup dates when possible. This helps carriers optimize their routes and can save you money on your Smyrna car shipping.

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 affordable option. Your car rides on an open trailer, exposed to weather and road debris. It’s safe for most vehicles and costs 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 debris.

Choose enclosed transport if you have:

• Classic or luxury cars
• Custom paint jobs
• High-value vehicles
• Convertibles or low-clearance cars

For most daily drivers shipping to or from Smyrna, GA, open transport works great and saves money. See our complete open vs enclosed guide to help you decide what’s best for your car.
