Myrtle Beach, SC Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Myrtle Beach, SC is simple but important. First, remove all personal items from inside your car – carriers cannot transport personal belongings for insurance reasons. Take out toll passes, GPS devices, and any loose items that could shift during transport.

Clean your vehicle inside and out before pickup. This helps you spot any existing damage during the inspection. Remove or secure exterior accessories like bike racks, spoilers, or antenna toppers that could be damaged by wind or low bridges.

Make sure your car is in good working condition with less than a quarter tank of gas – this reduces weight while ensuring the driver can move your vehicle on and off the carrier. Have a spare key ready for the driver, as they’ll need to reposition your car during transport.

For complete preparation details, check our Vehicle Shipping Tips guide. Taking these simple steps ensures smooth pickup and delivery for your Myrtle Beach car shipment.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping from Myrtle Beach, SC. Every carrier in our network must carry a minimum of $1,000,000 in liability insurance and $100,000 in cargo insurance.

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

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

We recommend booking your car shipping service from Myrtle Beach, SC at least 2-3 weeks in advance. This gives you the best chance to secure competitive rates and your preferred pickup dates.

Here’s why early booking matters:

• Better carrier availability: Popular routes fill up quickly, especially during peak moving seasons
• Lower costs: Last-minute bookings often cost 20-30% more
• Route optimization: Carriers can bundle your vehicle with others heading in the same direction

If you need pickup within a week, we can often accommodate expedited service for an additional fee. However, booking early gives you more options and better prices for your Myrtle Beach 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 uncovered trailers where your car is exposed to weather and road debris. This is the most common and affordable option, costing about 50% less than enclosed transport.

Enclosed auto transport uses covered trailers that fully protect your vehicle from weather, dust, and road debris. While more expensive, it’s ideal for luxury cars, classics, or vehicles with custom paint jobs.

For most standard vehicles shipping to or from Myrtle Beach, open transport works great and saves money. Choose enclosed transport if you have a high-value car that needs extra protection during the journey. Our open vs enclosed auto transport guide has more details to help you decide.

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.
