North Syracuse, NY Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from North Syracuse, NY is simple. Follow these key steps:

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

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

Check fluids and battery: Ensure your car has enough fuel (about 1/4 tank) and the battery is charged so it can be loaded and unloaded.

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

Remove or secure accessories: Take off or secure any loose parts like bike racks, spoilers, or antennas that could be damaged.

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

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured during transport from North Syracuse, NY. 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 active and valid. This gives you peace of mind knowing your vehicle is protected throughout the entire journey from North Syracuse.

For added security, all carriers also list Sherpa Auto Transport as a Certificate Holder on their insurance policy. This means we monitor coverage to ensure your vehicle stays protected from pickup to delivery.

You’ll receive the carrier’s insurance information before transport begins, so you have all the details you need.

We recommend scheduling your pickup from North Syracuse, NY at least 1-2 weeks in advance for the best results. However, booking earlier gives you more advantages.

Here’s why advance booking helps:

• Better pricing: Carriers can plan routes more efficiently and often offer competitive rates
• More carrier options: You’ll have access to more available drivers in the North Syracuse area
• Flexible scheduling: You can choose pickup dates that work best for your timeline
• Route optimization: Carriers can bundle your vehicle with other shipments heading the same direction

Need faster service? We can often accommodate shorter notice, sometimes within 2-5 days. However, rush bookings may have limited carrier availability and higher costs.

For the smoothest experience, book as early as possible. Once you know your moving dates, contact us to secure your spot and lock in the best rates for your North Syracuse vehicle transport.

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. Your car is exposed to weather and road debris during transit. This is the most common and affordable option, used for about 90% of vehicle shipments.

Enclosed auto transport ships your vehicle in a fully covered trailer. Your car stays protected from weather, dust, and road debris. This costs 40-60% more than open transport.

Which should you choose? Most North Syracuse residents use open transport. It’s safe, reliable, and cost-effective for everyday vehicles. Choose enclosed transport if you’re shipping a luxury car, classic vehicle, exotic car, or any vehicle with custom paint or modifications. The extra protection is worth the cost for high-value vehicles.
