Clemmons, NC Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Clemmons, NC is simple. Follow these steps:

Remove personal items: Take out all belongings, toll passes, and fragile items. Carriers are not insured for personal property left inside.

Clean your vehicle: Wash the exterior so you can document its condition with photos before shipping.

Check fluids and battery: Ensure your car has enough fuel (about 1/4 tank), and the battery is charged so the driver can load and unload it.

Remove or secure accessories: Take off bike racks, spoilers, and custom antennas. Retract or remove mirrors if possible.

Document existing damage: Take clear photos of your vehicle from all angles before pickup.

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

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured during transport from Clemmons, NC. 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. All contracted carriers also list Sherpa Auto Transport as a Certificate Holder on their policy, giving you an extra layer of protection.

This means your vehicle is covered from pickup in Clemmons through delivery to your destination. You can ship with confidence knowing professional insurance protects your car throughout the journey.

We recommend scheduling your car shipment from Clemmons, NC at least 1-2 weeks in advance. However, booking earlier gives you the best results.

Here’s why early booking helps:

• Better pricing: Carriers can plan efficient routes and offer competitive rates
• More flexibility: You’ll have more pickup date options to choose from
• Route matching: Your vehicle can be paired with other shipments heading the same direction

If you need faster service, we also offer expedited shipping with pickup possible in as little as 24-48 hours. Keep in mind that rush orders typically cost more.

For the smoothest experience, contact us as soon as you know your moving dates. We’ll work with you to find the best pickup window for your schedule and budget.

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 is the most common and affordable option. Your vehicle is loaded onto an open-air trailer alongside other cars. While your car is exposed to weather and road debris, it’s perfectly safe for most vehicles and is how dealerships ship new cars every day.

Enclosed auto transport provides full protection inside a covered trailer. It costs 50-60% more than open transport but shields your vehicle from weather, dust, and road debris. This option is ideal for luxury cars, classic vehicles, exotic sports cars, or any car with custom paint or modifications.

For most Clemmons residents shipping standard vehicles, open transport offers excellent value and reliability. Choose enclosed transport if your vehicle is high-value or requires extra protection. Learn more in our detailed open vs enclosed auto transport guide.

Yes! We offer convenient door-to-door auto transport service to and from Clemmons, NC. This means we’ll pick up your vehicle from your home or office and deliver it directly to your destination address.

Here’s how it works:

At Pickup: When you book your shipment, simply provide your preferred pickup address in Clemmons. Our carrier will come directly to that location to load your vehicle onto the transport truck.

At Delivery: Your vehicle will be delivered right to the address you specify at your destination. No need to drive to a terminal or depot.

Important Note: In some cases, large car carriers cannot access certain streets due to low-hanging trees, narrow roads, or tight turns. This is especially true in residential neighborhoods with limited space. If your Clemmons location isn’t accessible for a full-size carrier, don’t worry—we’ll arrange a safe, nearby meeting spot like a grocery store parking lot or gas station. Our team will coordinate this with you in advance.

Door-to-door service saves you time and hassle, making your car shipping experience as smooth as possible.

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.
