Henderson, NC Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Henderson, NC is simple but important. First, clean your car inside and out so you can easily spot any damage before and after shipping. Remove all personal items, toll passes, and loose accessories like bike racks or spoilers that could fall off during transit.

Make sure your car has less than a quarter tank of gas to reduce weight and meet safety rules. Check that your battery is charged and tires are properly inflated. Have a spare key ready for the driver – never give your only key!

Take photos of your vehicle from all angles before pickup. This protects you if any damage occurs. Finally, make sure any car alarms are turned off.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping from Henderson, NC. All Sherpa Auto Transport carriers must carry a minimum of $1,000,000 in liability insurance and $100,000 in cargo insurance.

Before we assign your Henderson vehicle shipment, we verify that the carrier’s insurance is active and valid. We also require all carriers to add Sherpa as a Certificate Holder on their policy for extra protection.

This comprehensive coverage protects your vehicle throughout the entire journey from Henderson, whether you’re shipping locally within North Carolina or across the country. Our insurance requirements exceed industry standards to give you peace of mind.

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

Here’s why early booking matters:

• Better pricing: Carriers can plan routes more efficiently when they have advance notice
• More options: You’ll have access to more available carriers and transport dates
• Less stress: Avoid last-minute rushing and limited availability

Need to ship sooner? We can often accommodate shorter timelines, but expect higher costs for expedited service. Rush orders (less than one week) may require premium pricing.

The key is flexibility with your dates. The more flexible you are, the better deals you’ll find for shipping your vehicle from Henderson, NC.

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 budget-friendly option. Your car rides on an open trailer, exposed to weather and road debris. It’s safe and reliable for most vehicles.

Enclosed auto 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 hazards.

Choose open transport for everyday cars when cost matters most. Pick enclosed transport for luxury cars, classics, or vehicles with custom paint jobs that need extra protection during your Henderson, NC move.

Both options are fully insured. See our complete open vs enclosed guide to help you decide what’s best for your Henderson car shipping needs.
