Simpsonville, SC Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Simpsonville, SC is simple. Follow these key steps:

Remove personal items: Take out all belongings, toll passes, and loose items from your car. Carriers typically don’t insure personal property during transit.

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

Check fluids and battery: Ensure your car has adequate fluids and a charged battery. The vehicle needs to start and roll for loading and unloading.

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

Remove or secure accessories: Take off bike racks, spoilers, and other external items. Retract antennas and fold in mirrors.

Keep fuel low: Maintain about a quarter tank of gas. This reduces weight while ensuring enough fuel for loading.

Have a key ready: Provide one key to the carrier driver for vehicle handling.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured during transport from Simpsonville, SC. All carriers in our network 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 active and valid. We also require all carriers to add Sherpa Auto Transport as a Certificate Holder on their policy. This gives you extra protection and peace of mind.

Your driver will provide proof of insurance at pickup. We recommend taking photos of your vehicle before loading it onto the carrier. This helps document its condition if you ever need to file a claim.

We recommend scheduling your car pickup from Simpsonville, SC 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 drivers can fit your route into their schedule
• Lower prices – Carriers can bundle your vehicle with other shipments heading the same direction
• More flexibility – You’ll have more pickup date options to choose from

Need to ship sooner? We can often arrange pickup in as little as 24-48 hours for rush orders. Keep in mind that expedited service typically costs more.

The ideal timeline depends on your situation. If you have flexible dates, book 2-4 weeks ahead. If you’re on a tight deadline, contact us right away so we can find the fastest solution for your Simpsonville pickup.

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 debris during transit. This is the most common and affordable option, used for about 90% of vehicle shipments.

Enclosed auto transport ships your vehicle in a fully covered trailer that protects it from weather, dust, and road debris. This premium service typically costs 50-60% more than open transport.

Most Simpsonville, SC residents choose open transport for everyday vehicles. It’s safe, reliable, and budget-friendly. Consider enclosed transport if you’re shipping a luxury car, classic vehicle, exotic sports car, or any car with custom paint or modifications.
