Yes, your vehicle is fully insured during transport from Waxhaw, 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 is valid and current. This ensures your vehicle is protected throughout the entire journey from Waxhaw.

For added protection, all contracted carriers list Sherpa Auto Transport as a Certificate Holder on their insurance policy. This gives you extra peace of mind when shipping your vehicle.

You’ll receive a copy of the carrier’s insurance certificate before your vehicle is picked up. If you have questions about coverage, our team is happy to help explain the details.

We recommend scheduling your pickup from Waxhaw, NC at least 1-2 weeks in advance. However, booking earlier gives you the best results.

Here’s why advance notice helps:

• Better carrier availability: More time allows carriers to plan efficient routes through Waxhaw
• Lower costs: Carriers can bundle your vehicle with other shipments heading in the same direction
• More flexibility: You’ll have more pickup date options to choose from

If you need faster service, we offer expedited shipping options with pickup possible in as little as 24-48 hours. Keep in mind that rush orders typically cost more.

Best practice: Book as soon as you know your moving dates. This ensures the smoothest experience and the most competitive rates for your Waxhaw 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 elements during transit. This is the most common and affordable option, used for about 90% of vehicle shipments.

Enclosed auto transport uses covered trailers that protect your vehicle from weather, dust, and road debris. It costs 40-60% more than open transport but provides maximum protection.

Choose open transport if: You have a standard daily-driver vehicle and want the most cost-effective option. It’s safe, reliable, and perfectly suitable for most cars.

Choose enclosed transport if: You’re shipping a luxury vehicle, classic car, exotic sports car, or any vehicle with custom paint or modifications. The extra protection is worth the cost for high-value vehicles.

Both options are fully insured. For more details, check out our open vs enclosed auto transport guide.

In most cases, our drivers can access residential streets in Waxhaw without any issues. However, if your location has narrow roads, low-hanging trees, tight turns, or weight restrictions, the driver may ask to meet you at a nearby safe location. This could be a large parking lot, gas station, or shopping center close to your address.

Our drivers prioritize safety and follow all local traffic laws. If any access challenges arise, they’ll contact you to arrange a convenient nearby meeting spot. This ensures your vehicle is picked up and delivered safely without any damage to your property or neighborhood.

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.
