Hanover, NH Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for shipping from Hanover, NH is simple but important. First, remove all personal items from inside your car, including toll passes, GPS devices, and any fragile items that could break during transport.

Clean your vehicle inside and out before pickup. This helps you spot any existing damage and makes the inspection process smoother. Take photos of your car from all angles for your records.

Make sure you have less than a quarter tank of gas – this reduces weight and meets safety requirements. Remove or secure any loose exterior items like bike racks, spoilers, or antennas that could be damaged.

Have a working key ready for the carrier. Your car needs to start and drive onto the transport truck. If your vehicle has any mechanical issues, let us know ahead of time.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping from Hanover, NH with Sherpa Auto Transport. We require all our carriers to maintain:

• $1,000,000 in liability insurance
• $100,000 in cargo insurance

Before your Hanover vehicle shipment begins, we verify that the carrier’s insurance is active and valid. This protects your car during loading, transport, and delivery.

For extra protection, all our contracted carriers add Sherpa as a Certificate Holder on their insurance policy. This means we can directly monitor coverage throughout your shipment.

What this means for you: Your vehicle is covered from the moment it leaves Hanover until it reaches its destination. You can ship with confidence knowing professional insurance protection is in place.

For car shipping from Hanover, NH, we recommend booking at least 2-3 weeks in advance. This gives you the best chance to secure competitive rates and flexible pickup dates.

Hanover is a smaller city, so carriers need extra time to plan routes and group shipments with other vehicles heading in the same direction. Booking early helps reduce costs since carriers can bundle your car with others, making the trip more efficient.

If you need faster service, we offer expedited shipping options, but expect higher prices. During busy seasons like summer and early fall, book even earlier – 3-4 weeks ahead is ideal.

The key is flexibility. The more notice you give us, the more pickup and delivery options we can offer you.

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 budget-friendly option. Your car rides on an open trailer with other vehicles, exposed to weather and road debris. This method is safe for most cars and costs significantly less.

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 is ideal for luxury cars, classics, or vehicles with custom paint.

For most Hanover residents shipping standard vehicles, open transport offers excellent value and reliability. Choose enclosed transport if you own a high-value car that needs extra protection during the journey. Learn more in our detailed open vs enclosed auto transport guide.

Yes, Sherpa Auto Transport offers door-to-door auto transport service to and from Hanover, NH. This means we pick up your vehicle at your home, office, or preferred location and deliver it directly to your destination address.

When you book your shipment, simply provide your pickup and delivery addresses. Our assigned carrier will coordinate with you to schedule convenient times for both pickup and delivery. However, keep in mind that Hanover’s residential areas and Dartmouth College campus may have narrow streets or parking restrictions that could limit large truck access.

If your exact address isn’t accessible for our carriers, don’t worry. We’ll work with you to find a safe, nearby meeting spot like a shopping center parking lot or gas station. This ensures your vehicle is still collected and delivered as close to your door as possible while maintaining safety for both your car and our equipment.

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.
