Brentwood, TN Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Brentwood, TN is simple. Follow these key steps:

Remove personal items: Take out all belongings, toll passes, and fragile items. Carriers aren’t insured for personal property left inside.

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 less than a quarter tank of gas. Verify the battery is charged and there are no leaks.

Remove or secure accessories: Take off custom antennas, spoilers, bike racks, and other exterior add-ons that could get damaged.

Provide a working key: Have a spare key ready for the driver. Make sure the alarm is disabled.

Document condition: Take dated photos of your vehicle from all angles before pickup.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured during transport from Brentwood, TN. All carriers in our network must carry a minimum of $1,000,000 in liability insurance and $100,000 in cargo insurance.

Before we assign your shipment, we verify that the carrier’s insurance is active and in good standing. This gives you peace of mind knowing your vehicle is protected throughout the entire journey.

For added security, all carriers must list Sherpa Auto Transport as a Certificate Holder on their insurance policy. This means we monitor coverage directly and ensure your vehicle is always protected.

You’ll receive a copy of the carrier’s insurance certificate before pickup. If you have any questions about coverage, our team is here to help.

We recommend scheduling your car shipping service at least 1-2 weeks in advance from Brentwood, TN. However, booking earlier gives you the best results.

Here’s why early booking helps:

• Better pricing: Carriers can plan routes more efficiently and often offer better rates
• More carrier options: You’ll have access to more qualified carriers serving the Brentwood area
• Flexible scheduling: You can choose pickup dates that work best for your timeline
• Route optimization: Carriers can bundle your vehicle with other shipments heading the same direction

Need to ship on short notice? We can often accommodate rush shipments within 2-5 days, though this may come with higher costs due to limited carrier availability.

For the smoothest experience, contact us as soon as you know your moving dates. This gives us time to find the perfect carrier match for your Brentwood 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 is the most common and affordable option. Your vehicle is loaded onto an open-air trailer (the kind you see on highways). It’s exposed to weather and road debris, but it’s perfectly safe for most vehicles. About 90% of cars are shipped this way, and it costs significantly less.

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 it’s worth it for luxury cars, classics, exotic vehicles, or cars with custom paint jobs.

Which should you choose? For everyday vehicles, open transport is reliable and budget-friendly. For high-value or collectible cars, enclosed transport offers peace of mind. Most Brentwood residents shipping standard vehicles choose open transport and save the difference.

Yes! We offer door-to-door auto transport service to and from Brentwood, TN. This is our most popular shipping option because it’s convenient and hassle-free.

Here’s how it works: When you book your shipment, simply provide your pickup and delivery addresses. Our carrier will come directly to your home or business in Brentwood to pick up your vehicle and deliver it right to your destination.

In most Brentwood neighborhoods, door-to-door service works perfectly. However, if your street has low-hanging trees, tight turns, or restrictions on large trucks, our driver will contact you to arrange a nearby meeting spot. This might be a shopping center parking lot, gas station, or another safe, accessible location close to your address.

Our goal is to make your car shipping experience as easy as possible while ensuring your vehicle’s safety throughout the process.

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.
