Eagle, ID Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Eagle, ID is simple but important. Start by removing all personal items from inside your car, including toll passes, GPS devices, and any loose items that could shift during transit. Clean your vehicle inside and out – this helps with the inspection process and makes it easier to spot any existing damage.

Check your fluid levels and tire pressure, but keep your gas tank only 1/4 full to reduce weight. Remove or secure any exterior accessories like bike racks, spoilers, or antenna toppers that could be damaged. Make sure you have a working key available for the carrier.

Take photos of your vehicle from all angles to document its condition before pickup. For complete preparation details, visit our Vehicle Shipping Tips page. Our Eagle, ID carriers will also walk you through a final inspection when they arrive for pickup.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping from Eagle, ID. All Sherpa Auto Transport carriers must carry a minimum of $1,000,000 in liability insurance and $100,000 in cargo insurance.

Before your Eagle vehicle 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 insurance policy for extra protection.

This comprehensive coverage protects your vehicle during loading, transport, and delivery – giving you peace of mind throughout your Eagle, ID car shipping experience.

For car shipping from Eagle, ID, we recommend scheduling your pickup at least 2-3 weeks in advance. This gives you the best chance to secure competitive rates and flexible pickup dates.

Eagle is a smaller market compared to major cities like Boise, so carriers need extra time to plan efficient routes and group shipments together. Booking early helps carriers bundle your vehicle with others heading in the same direction, which keeps costs down.

If you need faster service, we can often accommodate rush orders with 3-7 days notice, though this typically comes with higher rates due to limited carrier availability in the Eagle area.

Pro tip: Avoid peak moving seasons (summer months) when possible, as demand is highest and scheduling becomes more challenging from smaller Idaho markets.

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 uses an open trailer that exposes your car to weather and road debris. It’s the most common and cost-effective option, costing about 50% less than enclosed transport.

Enclosed auto transport protects your vehicle inside a covered trailer. This shields your car from weather, dust, and road debris during the journey from Eagle, ID.

Choose open transport if you have a standard daily driver and want to save money. Choose enclosed transport if you own a luxury car, classic vehicle, or custom car that needs extra protection.

Most Eagle residents pick open transport because it’s reliable and affordable. However, if your car is worth over $50,000 or has special value to you, enclosed transport is worth the extra cost.

See our complete open vs enclosed auto transport guide for more details about which option fits your needs and budget.

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.
