Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping from Laurinburg, NC. All Sherpa carriers must carry at least $1,000,000 in liability insurance and $100,000 in cargo insurance – well above industry minimums.

Before we assign your Laurinburg shipment, we verify that your carrier’s insurance is current and valid. We also require all carriers to add Sherpa as a Certificate Holder on their policy, giving you extra protection.

This comprehensive coverage protects your vehicle from pickup in Laurinburg through delivery at your destination. You can ship with confidence knowing your car is protected by professional-grade insurance throughout the entire transport process.

For car shipping from Laurinburg, 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 helps:

• Better pricing: Carriers can plan routes more efficiently
• More carrier options: Higher chance of finding the right transport company
• Flexible scheduling: You get priority for preferred pickup times

If you need rush shipping, we can often arrange pickup within 2-7 days, but expect to pay premium rates. During peak seasons (summer and winter holidays), book even earlier if possible.

Pro tip: Laurinburg’s location near major highways like I-74 and US-401 makes it easier for carriers to access, so you may have more flexibility than rural areas.

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 uses uncovered trailers and costs less. Your car is exposed to weather and road debris, but it’s safe for most vehicles. This is how 90% of cars get shipped.

Enclosed transport protects your car inside a covered trailer. It costs 40-60% more than open transport. Choose this for luxury cars, classics, or vehicles with custom paint jobs that need extra protection from weather and debris.

For most Laurinburg residents shipping standard vehicles, open transport works great and saves money. If you have a high-value car worth $50,000+ or a restored classic, enclosed transport is worth the extra cost. See our complete open vs enclosed guide to help you decide.

We always prioritize safety while keeping pickup and delivery as convenient as possible for you.

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.
