Woburn, MA Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for shipping from Woburn, MA is simple but important. Here are the key steps:

Remove personal items: Take out all belongings, including toll passes, GPS devices, and any loose items that could shift during transport.

Clean your car: Wash the exterior so you can easily spot any damage during inspection. A clean car also helps the carrier perform a thorough pre-transport inspection.

Check fluids and battery: Ensure your car has enough gas (about 1/4 tank), oil, and coolant. Make sure the battery is charged so the carrier can move your vehicle on and off the truck.

Remove accessories: Take off bike racks, spoilers, or any aftermarket items that could get damaged or fall off during transit.

Have keys ready: Provide one set of working keys to the driver. Keep a spare set for yourself.

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

Here’s why early booking matters:

• Better pricing: Carriers can bundle your vehicle with other shipments in the Woburn area
• More availability: Popular routes from Massachusetts fill up quickly
• Less stress: You’ll have backup options if your first choice isn’t available

If you need last-minute shipping (less than one week), we can still help, but expect higher costs and limited carrier options. For the smoothest experience shipping your car from Woburn, book as early as possible once you know your moving dates.

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, exposed to weather and road debris. It’s safe for most vehicles and costs significantly 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. This option is ideal for luxury cars, classic vehicles, or cars with custom paint jobs.

For most Woburn residents shipping standard vehicles, open transport offers excellent value and reliability. Choose enclosed transport if you own a high-value car or want maximum protection. See our complete open vs enclosed auto transport guide for detailed comparisons and pricing.
