Mooresville, NC Car Shipping

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

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

Remove personal items: Take out all belongings, toll passes, and fragile items. Carriers don’t insure personal property inside the vehicle.

Check for leaks and mechanical issues: Make sure your car runs properly and has no fluid leaks. Inform the carrier of any mechanical problems.

Secure or remove accessories: Take off or secure loose parts like spoilers, bike racks, or antennas that could get damaged during transit.

Maintain fuel level: Keep your gas tank about one-quarter full. This reduces weight while ensuring the driver can load and unload your vehicle.

Provide a working key: Have a spare key ready to give the carrier for loading and unloading.

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

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured during transport from Mooresville, NC. All carriers in our network must carry a minimum of $1,000,000 in liability insurance and $100,000 in cargo insurance.

Before your shipment begins, we verify that the carrier’s insurance policy is active and in good standing. This ensures your vehicle is protected throughout the entire journey from Mooresville.

For added security, all contracted carriers list Sherpa Auto Transport as a Certificate Holder on their insurance policy. This means we monitor coverage directly and can quickly address any issues that arise.

You’ll receive a copy of the carrier’s insurance certificate before pickup, giving you peace of mind that your vehicle is protected every mile of the way.

We recommend scheduling your car shipment from Mooresville, NC at least 1-2 weeks in advance for the best results. However, booking earlier gives you more advantages.

Here’s why advance notice helps:

• Better carrier availability: More time allows carriers to plan efficient routes through Mooresville
• Lower costs: Carriers can bundle your vehicle with others heading the same direction, which often reduces your price
• Flexible pickup windows: You’ll have more options to choose dates that work for your schedule

Need faster service? We can often arrange pickups within 2-5 days, though rush shipping typically costs more. If you have flexibility, booking 2-4 weeks out usually provides the best combination of price and convenience.

Contact us as soon as you know your moving dates. We’ll work with you to find the best pickup time for your Mooresville car shipment.

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 debris, but it’s the most affordable option. About 90% of vehicles shipped in the U.S. use open transport, and it’s perfectly safe for most cars.

Enclosed auto transport ships your vehicle inside a covered trailer, protecting it from weather, dust, and road debris. This costs 40-60% more than open transport, but it’s worth it for luxury cars, classics, exotic vehicles, or cars with custom paint jobs.

Which should you choose? If you’re shipping a standard daily driver to or from Mooresville, open transport is your best bet. It’s reliable, cost-effective, and used by dealerships nationwide. Choose enclosed transport if your vehicle is worth over $100,000, has sentimental value, or requires extra protection.

We can also ship electric vehicles.
