Pinehurst, NC Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Pinehurst, NC is simple but important. First, remove all personal items from inside your car, including toll passes, GPS devices, and any fragile objects. Clean out your trunk and glove compartment too.

Next, document your car’s condition by taking photos from all angles. This protects you if any damage occurs during transport. Make sure your gas tank is only 1/4 full or less – this reduces weight and meets safety requirements.

Remove or secure loose parts like bike racks, spoilers, or antennas that could get damaged. Disable your car alarm and make sure you have working keys available for the driver.

Finally, check that your car runs and can be driven onto the transport truck. If your vehicle doesn’t start, let us know ahead of time so we can arrange special equipment.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping from Pinehurst, NC with Sherpa Auto Transport. We require all our carriers to maintain comprehensive insurance coverage that protects your car throughout the entire transport process.

Every carrier in our network must have:

• $1,000,000 in liability insurance – covers damages to other vehicles or property
• $100,000 in cargo insurance – protects your specific vehicle during transport

Before your Pinehurst car shipment begins, we verify that your assigned carrier’s insurance is active and valid. We also require carriers to list Sherpa as a Certificate Holder on their policy, giving you an extra layer of protection.

This insurance coverage is included in your quote at no extra cost. You can ship your vehicle from Pinehurst with confidence knowing it’s protected from pickup to delivery.

For car shipping from Pinehurst, NC, we recommend booking your pickup service at least 1-2 weeks in advance. However, scheduling even earlier gives you the best results.

Here’s why early booking matters:

• Better pricing: More time allows carriers to plan efficient routes and offer competitive rates
• More carrier options: Popular routes fill up quickly, especially during peak seasons
• Flexible scheduling: You’ll have more pickup date options to choose from

Since Pinehurst is located in rural Moore County, carriers often need to coordinate multiple pickups in the area to make trips cost-effective. Booking 2-4 weeks ahead gives carriers time to bundle your shipment with others, which can save you money.

Need to ship during busy times like summer or holidays? Plan even further ahead – up to 4-6 weeks is smart for peak seasons.

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

Enclosed transport protects your car inside a covered trailer. It costs 40-60% more than open transport but shields your vehicle from weather, dust, and debris.

Choose enclosed transport if you have:

• Classic or luxury cars
• Custom paint jobs
• High-value vehicles
• Cars that need extra protection

For most standard vehicles shipping to or from Pinehurst, NC, open transport works great and saves money. See our complete open vs enclosed guide for more details on which option fits your needs.
