Dublin, OH Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Dublin, OH is simple. Follow these key steps:

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

Remove personal items: Take out all belongings, toll passes, and loose items. These aren’t covered by carrier insurance.

Check fluids and battery: Ensure your car is in good running condition with no leaks. The battery should be charged.

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

Secure or remove accessories: Remove or secure antennas, spoilers, and bike racks that could get damaged.

Keep fuel low: Maintain about a quarter tank of gas for loading and unloading.

Provide a key: Have a working key ready for the driver.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured during transport from Dublin, OH. All Sherpa Auto Transport carriers must carry at least $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. We also require all carriers to add Sherpa as a Certificate Holder on their policy for added protection.

This coverage protects your vehicle against damage during loading, transport, and unloading. You’ll receive the carrier’s insurance information before your Dublin pickup, so you have complete peace of mind.

We recommend scheduling your car shipment from Dublin, OH at least 1-2 weeks in advance. However, booking earlier gives you the best results.

Here’s why early booking helps:

• Better carrier availability: More carriers can fit your route into their schedules
• Lower prices: Carriers can bundle your vehicle with others heading the same direction
• Flexible pickup windows: You’ll have more options to choose dates that work for you

If you need faster service, we offer expedited shipping with pickup in as little as 24-48 hours. This costs more but works well for urgent moves.

The bottom line: book as soon as you know your moving dates. This gives carriers time to plan efficient routes and saves you money.

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.

The main difference is protection and cost. Open auto transport uses an open-air trailer (like you see hauling cars on the highway) and costs less. Your vehicle is exposed to weather and road debris during transit, but it’s safe for most cars and is the most popular choice.

Enclosed auto transport ships your vehicle inside a covered trailer, protecting it from weather, dust, and debris. It costs 50-60% more than open transport but is worth it for luxury cars, classic vehicles, exotic sports cars, or any car with custom paint or modifications.

For most Dublin, OH residents shipping standard vehicles, open transport works great and saves money. Choose enclosed if your car is high-value or needs extra protection. Learn more in our open vs enclosed auto transport guide.

Yes, we offer door-to-door auto transport service for Dublin, OH residents. This means we’ll pick up your vehicle from your home or business and deliver it directly to your destination address.

Here’s how it works:

At pickup: The carrier will come to your Dublin location at the scheduled time. Whether you’re in Bridge Park, Historic Dublin, or anywhere else in the area, we’ll coordinate a convenient pickup spot.

At delivery: Your vehicle will be delivered right to your specified address at the destination.

Important note: Large car carriers need adequate space to maneuver safely. If your street has low-hanging trees, tight turns, or narrow roads, the driver may ask to meet you at a nearby open location like a shopping center or parking lot. This is common in some Dublin neighborhoods and ensures safe loading and unloading.

Our team will discuss your specific addresses when you book to confirm accessibility and arrange the best pickup and delivery points for your situation.

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.
