Before we assign your Plymouth car shipment, we verify that your carrier’s insurance is active and valid. We also require all carriers to add Sherpa as a Certificate Holder on their policy for extra protection.

This insurance covers your vehicle during loading, transport, and unloading. You can ship from Plymouth with confidence knowing your car is protected throughout the entire journey.

For car shipping from Plymouth, MA, we recommend scheduling your pickup at least 2-3 weeks in advance. This gives you the best chance to secure competitive rates and reliable service.

• Better pricing: Carriers can group your vehicle with others heading to the same area
• More carrier options: Popular routes from Plymouth fill up quickly
• Flexible scheduling: You’ll have more pickup date choices

If you need faster service, we offer expedited shipping with as little as 2-3 days notice, though this comes at a higher cost. For the best experience shipping your car from Plymouth, book early and avoid the rush!

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 cost-effective option. Your car rides on an open trailer with other vehicles, exposed to weather and road debris. This works great for most everyday cars and saves you money.

Enclosed transport protects your vehicle inside a covered trailer. It costs 40-60% more than open transport, but it’s worth it for luxury cars, classics, or vehicles with custom paint jobs. Your car stays safe from weather, dirt, and road debris during the trip from Plymouth.

Most people choose open transport because it’s reliable and affordable. Consider enclosed transport if your car is worth over $50,000 or has special value to you. See our complete open vs enclosed guide to help you decide what’s best for your Plymouth car shipping needs.

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.
