Manchester, NH Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for shipping from Manchester, NH is simple but important. Start by removing all personal items from inside your car – carriers cannot transport personal belongings for insurance reasons. Take out toll passes, GPS devices, and any loose items that could shift during transport.

Next, document your car’s condition by taking photos from all angles. This helps if you need to file any damage claims later. Make sure your gas tank is no more than 1/4 full to reduce weight and meet safety requirements.

Remove or secure any exterior accessories like bike racks, spoilers, or antennas that could be damaged. Disable your car alarm and make sure you have a spare key ready for the driver.

Finally, check that your car is in running condition with good tire pressure and battery charge. For complete preparation details, visit our Vehicle Shipping Tips page. Following these steps ensures your Manchester, NH car shipping goes smoothly.

This comprehensive coverage protects your vehicle from pickup in Manchester through delivery at your destination. Your insurance is included in our all-inclusive quotes – no hidden fees or extra costs.

For car shipping from Manchester, NH, we recommend booking your pickup service at least 2-3 weeks in advance. However, booking earlier gives you better options and pricing.

Here’s why advance booking matters:

• Better carrier availability: More time allows carriers to plan efficient routes through Manchester
• Lower costs: Early bookings often qualify for better rates
• Flexible scheduling: You’ll have more pickup date options that work with your timeline

If you need rush shipping with less than one week notice, we can still help, but expect higher costs and limited carrier options. For the best experience shipping your car from Manchester, NH, book as early as possible once you know your moving dates.

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, exposed to weather and road debris. It’s safe for most vehicles and costs much less.

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

Choose open transport if you have a regular daily driver and want to save money. Choose enclosed transport if you’re shipping a luxury car, classic vehicle, or custom car that needs extra protection.

Most Manchester, NH customers pick open transport because it’s reliable and affordable. See our open vs enclosed auto transport guide for more details about which option works best for your move.
