Eagle, ID Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Eagle, ID is simple. Here are the key steps:

Clean your vehicle: Wash the exterior so you can document any existing damage with photos before shipping.

Remove personal items: Take out all belongings, toll passes, and fragile items. Carriers are not insured for personal property left inside.

Check fluids and battery: Ensure your vehicle is in good working order with adequate fluids and a charged battery.

Document the condition: Take dated photos of your vehicle from all angles before pickup.

Remove or secure accessories: Take off bike racks, spoilers, and other exterior accessories. Retract antennas and fold in mirrors.

Disable alarms: Turn off car alarms to prevent issues during transport.

Maintain fuel level: Keep your gas tank at about 1/4 full—enough to load and unload, but not too heavy.

Provide a key: Have a working key ready for the driver at pickup.

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

Before your shipment, we verify that the carrier’s insurance is valid and active. All contracted carriers also list Sherpa as a Certificate Holder on their policy for added protection.

This means your vehicle is covered throughout the entire transport from Eagle, ID to your destination. You’ll receive the carrier’s insurance information before pickup for your records.

We recommend scheduling your pickup from Eagle, ID at least 1-2 weeks in advance for the best results. However, booking earlier gives you more advantages.

Here’s why early booking helps:

• Better pricing: Carriers can plan routes more efficiently and offer competitive rates
• More carrier options: You’ll have access to more available drivers in the Eagle area
• Flexible scheduling: You can choose pickup dates that work best for you
• Route bundling: Carriers can combine your shipment with others heading the same direction, reducing costs

If you need faster service, we can often accommodate rush shipments with 2-5 days notice, though this may cost more due to the expedited nature.

Best practice: Book as soon as you know your moving dates. This gives carriers maximum time to plan efficient routes through Eagle and ensures you get the service you need at the best price.

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 shipped on an open-air trailer alongside other cars. It’s fully safe and used for 90% of all car shipments in the U.S. Open transport costs less and offers faster availability.

Enclosed auto transport provides extra protection inside a covered trailer. It shields your vehicle from weather, road debris, and dust. This option costs 40-60% more than open transport.

Most Eagle, ID residents choose open transport for everyday vehicles. Consider enclosed transport if you’re shipping a luxury car, classic vehicle, exotic sports car, or any car with custom paint or modifications.

Both methods are safe and insured. The choice depends on your budget and vehicle value. Learn more in our open vs enclosed auto transport guide.

When you book with Sherpa Auto Transport, simply provide your preferred pickup and delivery locations. Our carrier will come right to your door in Eagle, as long as the street is accessible for large transport trucks.

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.
