Fayetteville, NC Car Shipping

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

Remove personal items: Take out all belongings, toll passes, and fragile items. Carriers only insure the vehicle, not items inside.

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

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

Remove or secure accessories: Take off bike racks, spoilers, and other exterior add-ons that could get damaged. Retract or remove antennas.

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

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

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping from Fayetteville, NC. Every carrier in our network must carry a minimum of $1,000,000 in liability insurance and $100,000 in cargo insurance.

Before your vehicle is picked up, we verify that the carrier’s insurance is valid and current. We also require all carriers to add Sherpa Auto Transport as a Certificate Holder on their policy. This gives you an extra layer of protection throughout your shipment.

You’ll receive a copy of the carrier’s insurance certificate before transport begins. If you have any questions about coverage, our team is happy to help explain the details.

We recommend scheduling your car pickup from Fayetteville, NC at least 1-2 weeks in advance. However, booking earlier gives you the best chance of securing competitive rates and flexible pickup dates.

Here’s why early booking helps:

• Better carrier availability: Carriers can plan routes more efficiently and bundle your vehicle with other shipments heading in the same direction
• More competitive pricing: Last-minute bookings often cost more due to limited availability
• Flexible scheduling: You’ll have more options to choose pickup dates that work best for you

That said, we understand plans change. If you need faster service, we can often arrange pickups within 2-5 days. During peak seasons (summer months and end of month), we suggest booking even earlier if possible.

Bottom line: Book as soon as you know your moving dates. The earlier you schedule, the smoother your car shipping experience will be.

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 conditions during transit. This is the most common and affordable shipping method, costing significantly less than enclosed transport.

Enclosed auto transport uses fully covered trailers that protect your vehicle from weather, debris, and road elements. It typically costs 50-60% more than open transport but provides maximum protection.

Which should you choose? Most vehicles ship safely via open transport—it’s what dealerships use to deliver new cars. Choose enclosed transport if you’re shipping a luxury vehicle, classic car, exotic sports car, or any vehicle with custom paint or modifications that need extra protection.

Yes, we offer door-to-door auto transport service throughout Fayetteville, NC and nationwide. This means we’ll pick up your vehicle from your home, office, or any address you choose, and deliver it directly to your destination.

When you book your shipment, simply provide your preferred pickup and delivery addresses. Our assigned carrier will do their best to reach both locations. However, some Fayetteville neighborhoods have narrow streets, low-hanging trees, or HOA restrictions that make it difficult for large car carriers to access safely.

If your location isn’t accessible, don’t worry. Our driver will contact you to arrange a convenient nearby meeting spot, such as a shopping center parking lot, gas station, or main road. This ensures your vehicle is transported safely without any damage to your property or the carrier.

Most customers in Fayetteville find door-to-door service works perfectly for their needs. It saves you time and eliminates the hassle of driving to a terminal.

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.
