Concord, NH Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for shipping from Concord, NH is simple but important. Start by removing all personal items from inside your car – this includes loose change, electronics, and documents. Take out any toll passes like E-ZPass and remove exterior accessories like bike racks or spoilers that could get damaged.

Make sure your car has less than a quarter tank of gas to meet safety rules. Clean your vehicle inside and out, then take photos of any existing damage for your records. Have a spare key ready for the driver – never give your only key.

Check that your battery is charged and your tires are properly inflated. If you have an alarm system, make sure the driver knows how to turn it off. For complete preparation details, visit our Vehicle Shipping Tips page.

Pro tip: New Hampshire winters can be tough on cars, so let us know about any weather-related issues like a weak battery or winter tire chains that need removal.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping from Concord, NH. All Sherpa Auto Transport carriers must carry minimum insurance coverage of $1,000,000 in liability and $100,000 in cargo protection.

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

This means your vehicle is covered from pickup in Concord through delivery at your destination. Our insurance requirements exceed industry standards to give you peace of mind during transport.

Need proof of coverage? We can provide insurance certificates upon request before your shipment begins.

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

Here’s why advance booking matters:

• Better pricing: Early bookings allow carriers to plan efficient routes and offer competitive rates
• More carrier options: Popular routes fill up quickly, especially during peak seasons
• Flexible scheduling: You’ll have more pickup date options to choose from

If you’re shipping during busy seasons (summer months, holidays, or college move-in periods), book 3-4 weeks ahead. For urgent shipments, we can often arrange pickup within 2-7 days, but expect higher costs.

Pro tip: Book as soon as you know your move 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 carries your car on an open trailer, exposed to weather and road debris. It’s the most common and affordable option, costing significantly less than enclosed transport.

Enclosed transport protects your vehicle inside a covered trailer, shielding it from weather, dust, and debris. This premium service costs 40-60% more than open transport but offers maximum protection.

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

Choose enclosed transport if: You own a luxury car, classic vehicle, exotic sports car, or have custom paint work. The extra cost is worth protecting your investment.

For Concord, NH residents, both options are readily available. See our complete open vs enclosed guide to help you decide which service fits your needs and budget.

Yes, Sherpa Auto Transport offers door-to-door service for Concord, NH residents. This means we pick up your car from your home or office and deliver it directly to your new address.

When you book with us, simply provide your pickup and delivery addresses in Concord or wherever you’re moving. Our carrier will come right to your location – no need to drive to a terminal or depot.

However, some Concord neighborhoods have narrow streets, low-hanging branches, or parking restrictions that make it hard for large car carriers to access. If this happens, don’t worry! Our driver will work with you to find a safe, nearby spot like a shopping center or gas station. This is still much more convenient than terminal-to-terminal service.

Door-to-door service saves you time and hassle, especially when moving to or from New Hampshire’s capital city. It’s included in most of our shipping quotes at no extra cost.

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.
