Post Falls, ID Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Post Falls, ID is simple but important. First, remove all personal items from inside your car, including toll passes, GPS devices, and any fragile objects. These items aren’t covered by insurance during transit.

Next, remove or secure any external accessories like bike racks, spoilers, or antenna toppers that could get damaged. Make sure your car has less than a quarter tank of gas – this keeps the weight down and meets safety rules.

Clean your vehicle inside and out before pickup. This helps you spot any existing damage during the inspection. Take photos of your car from all angles as proof of its condition.

Finally, make sure your car runs and the battery works. Disable your car alarm and provide a working key to the driver. For complete details, check our Vehicle Shipping Tips page.

Quick checklist: Remove personal items, secure loose parts, quarter tank of gas, clean car, take photos, working key ready.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping from Post Falls, 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 Post Falls car shipment begins, we verify that your carrier’s insurance is current and valid. We also require all carriers to add Sherpa as a Certificate Holder on their policy for extra protection.

This comprehensive coverage protects your vehicle throughout the entire journey from Post Falls to your destination. You can ship with confidence knowing your car is protected by professional-grade insurance.

For car shipping from Post Falls, ID, we recommend booking at least 2-3 weeks in advance. However, the earlier you schedule, the better your chances of securing competitive rates and preferred pickup dates.

Post Falls is a smaller market compared to major cities, so carriers need more time to coordinate routes and group shipments together. Booking early allows drivers to plan efficient trips that include your vehicle along with others heading in the same direction.

Peak seasons (summer months and winter holidays) require even more advance notice – ideally 3-4 weeks ahead. During these busy times, demand is higher and carrier availability becomes limited.

If you need last-minute shipping, we can often accommodate rush orders within 3-7 days, though this typically comes with higher costs due to the expedited nature of the service.

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

Choose enclosed transport if you have:

• Classic or luxury cars
• Custom paint jobs
• High-value vehicles
• Cars that need extra protection

For most standard vehicles shipping to or from Post Falls, ID, open transport works great and saves money. See our open vs enclosed auto transport guide for more details on which option fits your needs.
