Concord, NC Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Concord, NC is simple but important. Start by removing all personal items from inside your car – carriers are not insured for personal belongings. Take out toll passes, GPS devices, and any loose items that could shift during transit.

Clean your vehicle inside and out before pickup. This helps you spot any existing damage and makes the inspection process smoother. Document any scratches or dents with photos.

Make sure your car is in good working order with less than a quarter tank of gas – this reduces weight while ensuring the carrier can move your vehicle as needed. Check that your battery is charged and your tires are properly inflated.

Remove or secure exterior accessories like bike racks, spoilers, or antennas that could be damaged or cause damage during transport. Fold in your mirrors if possible.

Finally, have a spare key ready for the driver and disable any car alarms. For complete preparation details, visit our Vehicle Shipping Tips page.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping from Concord, NC with Sherpa Auto Transport. We require all our carriers to maintain minimum insurance coverage of:

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

Before we assign your Concord vehicle shipment, we verify that the carrier’s insurance is active and valid for your entire transport period. This gives you peace of mind knowing your car is protected from pickup in Concord through final delivery.

For added protection, all our contracted carriers must list Sherpa as a Certificate Holder on their insurance policy. This means we can directly monitor coverage and ensure your vehicle stays protected throughout the shipping process.

Our all-inclusive quotes cover this insurance protection at no extra cost to you.

For car shipping from Concord, NC, we recommend booking at least 2-3 weeks in advance. This gives you the best chance to secure competitive rates and reliable carriers.

Why book early? Carriers often combine multiple vehicles on the same route to keep costs down. When you book ahead, your car can be paired with other shipments heading in the same direction from the Charlotte metro area.

If you need faster service, we can often arrange pickup within 3-7 days, but expect higher costs and fewer carrier options. During busy seasons like summer and early fall, booking even earlier is smart.

Pro tip: Flexible pickup dates give you better rates and more carrier choices. Even a 2-3 day window can make a big difference in price and availability.

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. This works great for most everyday vehicles and costs significantly less.

Enclosed transport protects your car inside a covered trailer, shielding it from weather, dust, and road debris. This premium service costs 40-60% more than open transport but is worth it for luxury cars, classics, or vehicles with custom paint jobs.

For most Concord residents shipping standard vehicles, open transport offers excellent value. Choose enclosed transport if you’re moving a high-value car that needs extra protection. See our complete open vs enclosed guide for detailed comparisons and pricing.
