Marvin, NC Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Marvin, NC is simple when you follow these key steps. First, remove all personal items from inside your car, including toll passes, GPS devices, and any fragile objects that could shift during transit. Clean your vehicle thoroughly – this helps you document any existing damage with photos before pickup.

Make sure your car has between a quarter and half tank of gas. Too much fuel adds unnecessary weight, while too little could cause issues during loading. Remove or secure any loose exterior accessories like bike racks, spoilers, or antenna toppers that might get damaged.

Have a spare key ready for the carrier driver, as they’ll need to move your vehicle during transport. Check that your battery is charged and your tires are properly inflated. Finally, disable your car alarm to prevent it from going off during the journey.

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

Here’s why early booking matters:

• Better pricing: Carriers can bundle your vehicle with others heading to similar destinations
• More carrier options: Popular routes from the Charlotte metro area fill up quickly
• Flexible dates: You’ll have more pickup window choices that work with your schedule

Peak season tip: During busy times like summer and early fall, consider booking 3-4 weeks ahead. If you need last-minute service, we can still help, but expect higher rates and limited 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 cost-effective option. Your car travels on an open trailer alongside other vehicles, exposed to weather and road debris. This method works great for everyday cars and saves you money.

Enclosed transport protects your vehicle inside a covered trailer. It costs 40-60% more than open transport but shields your car from weather, dust, and debris. Choose enclosed transport for luxury cars, classics, or vehicles with custom paint jobs.

For most Marvin, NC residents shipping standard vehicles, open transport offers excellent value. However, if you own a high-value car or want maximum protection, enclosed transport is worth the extra cost. See our complete open vs enclosed guide to help you decide which option fits your needs and budget.

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.
