Oklahoma City, OK Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Oklahoma City is simple. Follow these key steps:

Remove Personal Items: Clear out all personal belongings from your car. Carriers typically don’t insure items left inside, and extra weight can increase shipping costs.

Document the Condition: Take photos of your vehicle from all angles before shipping. This creates a record of its condition in case you need to file a claim.

Check for Leaks and Mechanical Issues: Ensure your car is in good running condition. Fix any fluid leaks and make sure the battery is charged and tires are properly inflated.

Remove or Secure Accessories: Take off toll tags, GPS devices, and any loose exterior items like antennas or spoilers that could be damaged during transport.

Leave a Quarter Tank of Gas: Keep your fuel level at about 1/4 tank. This reduces weight while providing enough gas for loading and unloading.

Provide a Key: Give the carrier a working key so they can load, unload, and move your vehicle as needed.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured during transport from Oklahoma City, OK. 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 active. We also require all carriers to add Sherpa Auto Transport as a Certificate Holder on their policy. This gives you an extra layer of protection.

Your vehicle is covered from pickup in Oklahoma City until delivery at your destination. If you have questions about insurance coverage, our team is happy to provide you with the carrier’s insurance details before transport begins.

We recommend scheduling your car shipment from Oklahoma City at least 1-2 weeks in advance. This gives carriers enough time to plan efficient routes and match your vehicle with other shipments heading in the same direction.

However, booking earlier has clear benefits:

• More carrier options: You’ll have access to more available drivers
• Better pricing: Last-minute bookings often cost more
• Flexible scheduling: You can choose pickup dates that work best for you

If you need faster service, we offer expedited shipping with pickups possible in as little as 24-48 hours. Keep in mind this option costs more due to the rush nature of the service.

Bottom line: Book as early as you can. If your move date is set, don’t wait—schedule your Oklahoma City pickup right away to secure the best rates and service.

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 is the most common and affordable shipping method. Your vehicle is loaded onto an open-air trailer (the kind you see on highways). It’s exposed to weather and road conditions but is perfectly safe for most vehicles. About 90% of cars shipped to and from Oklahoma City use this method.

Enclosed auto transport provides full protection inside a covered trailer. Your vehicle is shielded from weather, dust, and road debris. This option costs 50-60% more than open transport but is worth it for luxury cars, classic vehicles, exotic sports cars, or cars with custom paint jobs.

For most Oklahoma City residents shipping standard vehicles, open transport is reliable and cost-effective. Choose enclosed transport if your vehicle is high-value or requires extra protection. Learn more in our open vs enclosed auto transport guide.

Yes! We offer door-to-door auto transport service throughout Oklahoma City and the surrounding areas. This means we’ll pick up your vehicle from your home, office, or any address you choose, and deliver it directly to your destination.

When you book your shipment, simply provide your preferred pickup and delivery addresses. Our carrier will come right to your location in Oklahoma City—whether you’re in Bricktown, Edmond, Norman, or any nearby neighborhood.

What if the truck can’t access my street? Large car carriers sometimes can’t navigate narrow streets, low-hanging trees, or tight residential areas. If this happens, don’t worry. Your driver will contact you to arrange a safe, nearby meeting spot like a shopping center parking lot or gas station. This ensures your vehicle stays protected throughout the process.

Door-to-door service saves you time and hassle—no need to drop off or pick up your car at a terminal. It’s our most popular option for Oklahoma City residents.

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.
