Westfield, IN Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Westfield, IN is simple. Follow these key steps:

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

Remove personal items: Take out toll passes, GPS devices, and fragile items. Carriers don’t insure personal belongings.

Check fluids and battery: Ensure your car has enough fuel (about 1/4 tank) and the battery is charged so it can be loaded and unloaded.

Remove accessories: Take off bike racks, spoilers, or custom antennas that could get damaged during transit.

Disable alarms: Turn off your car alarm to avoid issues during transport.

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

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured during transport from Westfield, IN. All our carriers must carry a minimum of $1,000,000 in liability insurance and $100,000 in cargo insurance.

Before your shipment begins, we verify that the carrier’s insurance is valid and current. We also require all carriers to add Sherpa Auto Transport as a Certificate Holder on their policy. This gives you extra protection and peace of mind.

Your transport quote includes this insurance coverage at no extra cost. You’ll receive the carrier’s insurance details before pickup so you have all the information you need.

We recommend scheduling your pickup from Westfield, IN at least 1-2 weeks in advance. However, booking earlier gives you the best results.

Here’s why early booking helps:

• Better pricing: Carriers can plan routes more efficiently and offer competitive rates
• More availability: You’ll have more carrier options to choose from
• Flexible timing: You can select pickup dates that work best for your schedule

If you need faster service, we also offer expedited shipping with as little as 24-48 hours notice. Keep in mind that rush orders typically cost more due to the tight scheduling requirements.

For the smoothest experience, contact us as soon as you know your moving dates. We’ll work with you to find the best carrier and timing for your Westfield pickup.

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 open-air trailers that carry multiple vehicles at once. This is the most common and affordable option, costing significantly less than enclosed transport. Your vehicle is exposed to weather and road debris during transit, but it’s perfectly safe for most standard vehicles.

Enclosed auto transport uses fully covered trailers that protect your vehicle from the elements. This option typically costs 50-60% more than open transport. It’s ideal for luxury cars, classic vehicles, exotic sports cars, or any car with custom paint or modifications that need extra protection.

For most Westfield residents shipping standard vehicles, open transport is the smart choice. It’s reliable, cost-effective, and how dealerships move new cars every day. Choose enclosed transport only if your vehicle’s value or condition justifies the extra cost. Learn more in our open vs enclosed auto transport guide.

Yes! We offer convenient door-to-door auto transport service for Westfield, IN residents. This means we’ll pick up your vehicle from your home or business and deliver it directly to your destination address.

Here’s how it works: When you book your shipment, simply provide your preferred pickup and delivery locations. Our assigned carrier will come right to your door in Westfield to collect your vehicle and transport it to the exact address you specify.

Important to know: In some cases, large car carriers may not be able to access certain residential streets due to low-hanging trees, narrow roads, or tight turns. If this happens in your Westfield neighborhood, our driver will contact you to arrange a nearby meeting point, such as a shopping center parking lot or gas station. This is rare, but we want to be upfront about the possibility.

Door-to-door service eliminates the hassle of driving to a terminal and makes the entire shipping process as easy as possible for you.

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.
