Bedford, NH Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Bedford, NH is simple. Follow these key steps:

Clean your vehicle: Wash the exterior so you can document any existing damage with photos.

Remove personal items: Take out all belongings, toll passes, and loose items. These aren’t covered by carrier insurance.

Check for leaks: Make sure your vehicle has no fluid leaks and is in good running condition.

Secure or remove accessories: Remove or secure antennas, spoilers, bike racks, and other exterior accessories that could be damaged.

Maintain fuel levels: Keep your gas tank at about 1/4 full. This reduces weight while ensuring the carrier can load and unload your vehicle.

Provide a key: Have a working key ready for the driver.

Disable alarms: Turn off your car alarm to avoid issues during transport.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured during transport from Bedford, NH. Every carrier in our network must carry at least $1,000,000 in liability insurance and $100,000 in cargo insurance.

Before your shipment begins, we verify that the carrier’s insurance is valid and current. We also require all carriers to add Sherpa Auto Transport as a Certificate Holder on their policy. This gives you extra protection and peace of mind.

We recommend scheduling your car shipping service from Bedford, NH at least 1-2 weeks in advance for the best results.

Booking early gives carriers more time to plan efficient routes and group your vehicle with other shipments heading in the same direction. This often leads to better pricing and faster pickup times.

That said, we understand plans can change. If you need expedited service, we can often arrange pickup in as little as 24-48 hours, though this may come with additional costs.

Best practice: Book as soon as you know your moving dates. The more flexible you can be with your pickup window, the more options you’ll have for carriers and pricing.

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 uses open-air trailers that carry multiple vehicles at once. This is the most common and affordable option, used for about 90% of car shipments. Your vehicle will be exposed to weather and road conditions during transit, but it’s perfectly safe for most everyday vehicles.

Enclosed auto transport uses fully covered trailers that protect your vehicle from weather, dust, and debris. This option costs 50-60% more than open transport but provides maximum protection for high-value vehicles like classic cars, luxury vehicles, or cars with custom modifications.

For most Bedford, NH residents shipping standard vehicles, open transport offers excellent value and reliability. Choose enclosed transport if you’re shipping a collectible, exotic, or show car that requires extra protection. Learn more in our open vs enclosed auto transport guide.

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.
