Biloxi, MS Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Biloxi, MS is simple but important. First, remove all personal items from inside your car, including toll passes, GPS devices, and any fragile objects. These items aren’t covered by insurance during transit.

Next, clean your vehicle inside and out. This helps with the inspection process and makes it easier to spot any damage. Take photos of your car from all angles before pickup.

Check fluid levels and tire pressure, but keep your gas tank only 1/4 full to reduce weight. Remove or secure any loose exterior items like bike racks, spoilers, or antennas that could be damaged during transport.

Finally, have a working key ready for the driver and make sure your car starts and runs properly. For complete preparation guidelines, visit our Vehicle Shipping Tips page. Following these steps will ensure smooth pickup and delivery of your vehicle from Biloxi.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping from Biloxi, MS with Sherpa Auto Transport. We require all our carriers to maintain comprehensive insurance coverage that protects your vehicle throughout the entire transport process.

Here’s what covers your vehicle:

• $1,000,000 minimum liability insurance – Required for all carriers
• $100,000 minimum cargo insurance – Covers damage to your specific vehicle
• Valid insurance verification – We check that coverage is active before your shipment begins

For added protection, all contracted carriers must list Sherpa as a Certificate Holder on their insurance policy. This means we can directly verify coverage and handle any claims if needed.

Important note: While insurance covers damage during transport, we recommend documenting your vehicle’s condition with photos before pickup in Biloxi. This helps ensure a smooth process if you ever need to file a claim.

For car shipping from Biloxi, MS, we recommend booking your pickup service at least 1-2 weeks in advance. However, scheduling even earlier gives you the best results.

Here’s why early booking matters:

• Better carrier availability: More transport trucks travel through Biloxi during peak seasons
• Lower costs: Carriers can group your car with other vehicles heading the same direction
• Flexible pickup dates: You’ll have more options to choose dates that work for your schedule

If you’re moving during busy seasons (summer months or winter snowbird season), book 3-4 weeks ahead. For last-minute shipments, we can often arrange pickup within 2-5 days, but expect higher costs and fewer carrier options.

Pro tip: Book as soon as you know your moving date. You can always adjust your pickup window later if needed.

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 uses standard open trailers that expose your car to weather and road debris. It costs less and works well for most everyday vehicles. Enclosed transport protects your car inside a covered trailer, shielding it from rain, sun, and flying rocks.

Choose open transport if you have a regular car and want to save money. Most cars ship this way without problems. Choose enclosed transport if you own a luxury car, classic vehicle, or custom car that needs extra protection. Enclosed costs 40-60% more than open transport.

For Biloxi residents, both options work year-round. However, enclosed transport gives peace of mind during hurricane season or long-distance moves. See our complete open vs enclosed guide to help you decide which option fits your needs and budget.

This door-to-door service is included in your quote at no extra cost. It’s just one way we make car shipping simple and stress-free for Biloxi residents.

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.
