Overland Park, KS Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Overland Park, KS is simple when you follow these key steps:

Remove Personal Items: Take out all personal belongings, including electronics, documents, and valuables. Car carriers are not responsible for items left inside your vehicle.

Clean Your Car: Wash your vehicle inside and out. This helps you spot any existing damage during the pre-transport inspection.

Check Fluids and Battery: Ensure your car has enough gas (about 1/4 tank), oil, and coolant. Make sure your battery is charged and secure.

Remove Accessories: Take off any removable items like bike racks, spoilers, or custom antennas that could get damaged during transport.

Disable Alarms: Turn off car alarms and remove toll passes to avoid issues during transit.

Provide Working Keys: Have at least one working key ready for the driver.

This comprehensive coverage protects your vehicle from pickup in Overland Park through delivery at your destination. You can ship with confidence knowing your car is protected by professional-grade insurance throughout the entire transport process.

For car shipping from Overland Park, KS, we recommend booking at least 2-3 weeks in advance. This gives you the best chance to secure competitive rates and reliable carriers.

Here’s why early booking matters:

• Better pricing: Carriers can group your car with other vehicles heading the same direction
• More options: You’ll have access to more available drivers and pickup dates
• Less stress: Avoid last-minute rush fees and limited availability

Need to ship sooner? We can often arrange pickup within 3-7 days, but expect higher costs for expedited service. During peak moving seasons (summer months), book even earlier 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 budget-friendly 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 40-60% more than open transport but shields your vehicle from weather, dust, and debris. This is ideal for luxury cars, classics, or vehicles with custom paint jobs.

For most Overland Park residents shipping standard vehicles, open transport works great. Choose enclosed if you have a high-value car or want maximum protection. See our complete open vs enclosed guide for detailed comparisons and pricing.

Yes, we offer door-to-door auto transport service to and from Overland Park, KS. This means we pick up your car from your home or office and deliver it directly to your destination address.

When you book with Sherpa Auto Transport, simply provide your pickup and delivery addresses in Overland Park or your destination city. Our carrier will come right to your location – no need to drive to a terminal or depot.

In rare cases where large trucks cannot safely access your street (due to low bridges, narrow roads, or local restrictions), our driver will arrange to meet you at a nearby safe location like a shopping center or gas station. We always work with you to find the most convenient spot possible.

Door-to-door service is included in our standard car shipping rates, making it easy and stress-free to transport your vehicle to or from Overland Park.

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.
