Las Vegas, NV Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Las Vegas, NV is simple but important. Here’s what you need to do:

Clean and inspect your car: Wash your vehicle inside and out. Take photos of any existing damage for your records.

Remove personal items: Take out all belongings, including items in the glove box and trunk. Car carriers are not insured for personal property.

Check fluids and battery: Ensure your car has enough gas (about 1/4 tank), oil, and brake fluid. Make sure your battery is secure and working.

Remove or secure loose parts: Take off toll passes, GPS devices, and any aftermarket accessories that could fall off during transport.

Disable alarms: Turn off car alarms to prevent issues during loading and transport.

Have keys ready: Provide one set of working keys to the driver.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping from Las Vegas, NV. All Sherpa Auto Transport carriers must carry at least $1,000,000 in liability insurance and $100,000 in cargo insurance.

Before your Las Vegas car shipment begins, 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 means your vehicle is covered from pickup in Las Vegas through delivery at your destination. You can ship with confidence knowing your car is protected every mile of the journey.

For car shipping from Las Vegas, NV, we recommend booking your pickup service at least 2-3 weeks in advance. This gives our carriers enough time to plan efficient routes and group your vehicle with other shipments heading in the same direction.

Las Vegas is a major hub with steady shipping volume, but booking early offers several benefits:

• Better pricing: Early bookings often qualify for lower rates
• More carrier options: Popular routes fill up quickly
• Flexible scheduling: You’ll have more pickup date choices
• Peace of mind: Avoid last-minute stress and higher costs

If you need faster service, we do offer expedited shipping options with as little as 3-5 days notice, though these come at a premium price. For the best experience and value, plan ahead and book your Las Vegas car shipping service early.

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 is the most common and affordable option. Your car travels on an open trailer, exposed to weather and road debris. It’s safe for most vehicles and costs less.

Enclosed auto transport protects your car inside a covered trailer. This shields it from weather, dust, and road debris. It costs 40-60% more than open transport.

Choose open transport if: You have a regular daily driver and want to save money. Most cars ship this way safely.

Choose enclosed transport if: You own a luxury car, classic vehicle, or custom car with special paint. The extra protection is worth the higher cost.

For Las Vegas residents, both options work well. The desert climate makes enclosed transport popular for protecting cars from dust and sun damage during long trips. See our complete open vs enclosed guide for more details.

Yes, we offer door-to-door auto transport service for Las Vegas customers. This means we pick up your car from your home, office, or any address you choose and deliver it directly to your destination.

When you book with Sherpa Auto Transport, simply provide your pickup and delivery addresses. Our carrier will come to you – no need to drive to a terminal or depot. This saves you time and makes the whole process much easier.

In some cases, large trucks cannot access certain streets due to low bridges, narrow roads, or local restrictions. If this happens in your Las Vegas neighborhood, our driver will work with you to find a safe, nearby meeting spot like a shopping center or gas station. We always communicate with you ahead of time to ensure a smooth pickup and delivery.

Door-to-door service is included in our standard pricing, so you get maximum convenience without extra fees.

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.
