Clean and inspect your vehicle: Wash your car inside and out. Take photos of any existing damage for your records.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping from Waxhaw, NC. All Sherpa Auto Transport carriers must carry at least $1,000,000 in liability insurance and $100,000 in cargo insurance.

Before we assign your Waxhaw car shipment, we verify that the carrier’s insurance is active and valid. We also require all carriers to add Sherpa as a Certificate Holder on their policy for extra protection.

This means your vehicle is covered from pickup in Waxhaw through delivery at your destination. Our insurance requirements exceed industry standards to give you peace of mind during transport.

For car shipping from Waxhaw, NC, we recommend scheduling your pickup at least 2-3 weeks in advance. This gives carriers enough time to plan efficient routes and bundle your vehicle with other shipments in the Charlotte metro area.

Here’s why early booking helps:

• Better pricing: More time means more carrier options and competitive rates
• Flexible scheduling: You can choose pickup dates that work best for you
• Route optimization: Carriers can group shipments from Waxhaw with nearby areas like Matthews, Indian Trail, and Charlotte

During peak seasons (summer months and winter holidays), consider booking 3-4 weeks ahead. If you need last-minute service, we can still help, but expect higher costs and limited carrier 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 rides on an open trailer, exposed to weather and road debris. It’s safe for most vehicles and costs significantly 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 road debris. This option is ideal for luxury cars, classic vehicles, or cars with custom paint jobs.

For most Waxhaw residents shipping standard vehicles, open transport works perfectly fine. Choose enclosed transport if you have a high-value car that needs extra protection. See our open vs enclosed auto transport guide for a detailed comparison.

Yes, Sherpa Auto Transport offers convenient door-to-door auto transport service for Waxhaw, NC residents. When you book your car shipment, simply provide your pickup and delivery addresses. Our assigned carrier will come directly to your location in Waxhaw to collect your vehicle and deliver it right to your destination.

In most cases, we can pick up from your home or business. However, if your street has restrictions like low-hanging branches, narrow roads, or weight limits that prevent our large carriers from accessing your property, we’ll work with you to find a safe nearby location. This might be a local shopping center, gas station, or open parking lot within a few miles of your address.

Our door-to-door service saves you time and hassle – no need to drive to a terminal or arrange extra transportation. We handle the logistics so you can focus on your move.

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.
