Boise City, ID Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Boise City, ID is simple but important. Start by removing all personal items from inside your car – carriers are not responsible for personal belongings, and extra weight can increase costs.

Clean your vehicle inside and out before pickup. This makes it easier to spot any damage during inspection. Remove or secure loose parts like spoilers, bike racks, or custom accessories that could fall off during transport.

Make sure your car is in good working order with less than a quarter tank of gas – this reduces weight while ensuring the carrier can move your vehicle. Have a spare key ready for the driver, and disable your car alarm to prevent issues during loading.

Finally, document your vehicle’s condition with photos before pickup. For complete preparation details, check our Vehicle Shipping Tips guide. Following these steps ensures smooth car shipping from Boise City to your destination.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping from Boise City, ID. All Sherpa Auto Transport carriers must carry at least $1,000,000 in liability insurance and $100,000 in cargo insurance.

Before your Boise City car shipment begins, 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 insurance covers your vehicle during loading, transport, and unloading. You can ship your car from Boise City with confidence knowing it’s protected throughout the entire journey.

Our insurance coverage is included in your quote at no extra cost.

For car shipping from Boise City, ID, we recommend booking your pickup service at least 1-2 weeks in advance. However, scheduling earlier gives you better options and pricing.

Here’s why advance booking helps:

• Better carrier availability: More drivers travel popular routes from Boise
• Lower costs: Carriers can group your car with other shipments
• Flexible pickup dates: You get more time slots to choose from

During busy seasons (summer and early fall), book 3-4 weeks ahead. If you need rush shipping, we can often arrange pickup within 2-3 days, but expect higher costs.

The key is giving carriers time to plan efficient routes that include your Boise pickup location.

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 car travels on an open trailer alongside other vehicles, exposed to weather and road debris. This works great for most everyday cars and saves you money.

Enclosed transport protects your vehicle inside a covered trailer. It costs about 50% more than open transport, but it’s worth it for luxury cars, classics, or vehicles with custom paint jobs. The extra protection shields your car from weather, dust, and road debris during the journey to or from Boise City.

Most customers choose open transport because it’s reliable and cost-effective. Consider enclosed transport if your vehicle is worth over $50,000 or has sentimental value. See our complete open vs enclosed guide for more details to help you decide what’s best for your Boise move.

Yes, we offer door-to-door auto transport service to and from Boise City, ID. This means our carriers will pick up your vehicle from your home, office, or any address you choose and deliver it directly to your destination.

In some cases, large transport trucks cannot access certain streets due to low-hanging branches, narrow roads, or residential restrictions. If this happens in your Boise City neighborhood, our carrier will work with you to find a safe, nearby meeting spot like a shopping center or wide street. This ensures your vehicle is handled safely while still providing maximum convenience.

Door-to-door service is included in our standard pricing – no extra fees. It’s just one way we make car shipping as easy as possible for our Boise City customers.

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.
