Spartanburg, SC Car Shipping

Getting your car ready for transport from Spartanburg, SC is simple. First, remove all personal items from inside your vehicle – this includes toll passes, GPS units, phone chargers, and any loose items that could shift during transit.

Next, clean your car inside and out. This helps you spot any existing damage and makes the inspection process smoother. Take photos of your vehicle from all angles before pickup.

Check your fluids and battery. Make sure you have less than a quarter tank of gas, but enough to drive your car on and off the carrier. Disable your car alarm to avoid issues during transport.

Remove or secure exterior accessories like bike racks, spoilers, or custom mirrors that could get damaged. Make sure you have a working key available for the driver.

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.

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.

Open transport carries your car on an open trailer, exposed to weather and road debris. It costs less and works great for most everyday vehicles. Enclosed transport protects your car inside a covered trailer, shielding it from weather, dust, and road hazards.

Choose enclosed transport if you have a luxury car, classic vehicle, or custom paint job that needs extra protection. It typically costs 40-60% more than open transport. For regular cars shipping to or from Spartanburg, open transport is usually the smart choice – it’s safe, reliable, and budget-friendly.

Most car shipments (about 90%) use open transport without any issues. See our complete open vs enclosed auto transport guide to help you decide what’s best for your Spartanburg car shipment.
