Evansville, IN Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Evansville, IN is simple but important. First, remove all personal items from inside your car – carriers cannot transport personal belongings and aren’t responsible for any damage to items left behind.

Next, clean your vehicle inside and out so you can easily spot any damage during inspection. Take photos of your car from multiple angles before pickup.

Remove or secure loose parts like bike racks, spoilers, and antennas that could be damaged during transport. Also remove toll passes, garage door openers, and any fragile accessories.

Make sure your car is in good working condition with less than a quarter tank of gas – this reduces weight while ensuring the driver can move your vehicle as needed.

Finally, have a spare key ready for the carrier driver. For complete preparation details, check our Vehicle Shipping Tips page.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping from Evansville, IN with Sherpa Auto Transport.

All our carriers must have:

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

Before your Evansville pickup, we check that the carrier’s insurance is valid and active. We also require all carriers to add Sherpa as a Certificate Holder on their policy for extra protection.

This means your car is covered from the moment it’s loaded in Evansville until it reaches your destination. You can ship with confidence knowing your vehicle has proper insurance coverage throughout the entire transport process.

For car shipping from Evansville, IN, we recommend booking at least 1-2 weeks in advance. However, scheduling earlier gives you better options and pricing.

Here’s why early booking helps:

• Better carrier availability – More drivers can fit your route into their schedule
• Lower costs – Carriers can group your car with other shipments heading the same direction
• Flexible pickup dates – You won’t be rushed to find last-minute transport

If you need rush shipping, we can often arrange pickup within 2-7 days from Evansville. This costs more but works for urgent moves.

Peak seasons (summer and winter holidays) get busy fast. During these times, book 3-4 weeks ahead if possible.

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 30-50% more than open transport. Choose enclosed shipping if you have a luxury car, classic vehicle, or custom paint job that needs extra protection.

For most Evansville residents shipping everyday vehicles, open transport works great and saves money. For high-value cars worth over $50,000, enclosed transport gives you peace of mind. See our complete open vs enclosed guide to help you decide what’s best for your situation.

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.

We can also ship electric vehicles.
