Murfreesboro, TN Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Murfreesboro, TN is simple but important. Start by removing all personal items from inside your car – this includes toll passes, GPS devices, and any loose items that could shift during transit.

Clean your vehicle inside and out before pickup. This helps our driver document any existing damage during the inspection process. Take photos of your car from all angles for your records.

Make sure your gas tank is no more than 1/4 full to reduce weight and meet safety requirements. Check that your battery is secure and your tires are properly inflated.

Remove or secure external accessories like bike racks, spoilers, or loose trim pieces that could be damaged by wind during transport.

Finally, ensure you have a working key available for our carrier and that your car can start, steer, and brake normally. If your vehicle doesn’t run, let us know ahead of time so we can arrange proper equipment.

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

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

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

For car shipping from Murfreesboro, TN, we recommend booking your pickup service at least 1-2 weeks in advance. However, booking earlier gives you better options and pricing.

Here’s why advance booking helps:

• Better carrier availability – More drivers can fit your shipment into their routes
• Lower costs – Carriers can bundle multiple vehicles from the Murfreesboro area
• Flexible scheduling – You’ll have more pickup date options to choose from

During busy seasons (summer months and holidays), consider booking 3-4 weeks ahead. Murfreesboro’s location near Nashville makes it a popular pickup point, so early booking ensures your spot.

Need to ship on short notice? We can often arrange pickup within 2-7 days, though options may be limited and costs higher.

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 transport uses uncovered trailers that expose your vehicle to weather and road debris. It’s the most common and affordable option, costing significantly less than enclosed shipping.

Enclosed transport protects your car inside a covered trailer, shielding it from weather, dust, and debris. This premium service typically costs 40-60% more than open transport.

For most Murfreesboro residents shipping standard vehicles, open transport works perfectly fine. Choose enclosed transport if you’re shipping a luxury car, classic vehicle, exotic car, or any vehicle with custom paint or modifications that need extra protection.

Both options are safe and reliable. The choice comes down to your budget and how much protection your specific vehicle needs. See our complete open vs enclosed auto transport guide for detailed comparisons and pricing.

Yes, Sherpa Auto Transport offers convenient door-to-door auto transport service to and from Murfreesboro, TN. This means we pick up your vehicle from your home, office, or preferred location and deliver it directly to your destination address.

When you book your car shipment, simply provide your pickup and delivery addresses in Murfreesboro or your destination city. Our professional carriers will coordinate with you to schedule pickup and delivery at these exact locations whenever possible.

However, some Murfreesboro neighborhoods may have restrictions like narrow streets, low-hanging branches, or HOA rules that prevent large car carriers from accessing certain areas. If this happens, don’t worry – our carrier will work with you to find a safe, nearby meeting spot such as:

• A local shopping center parking lot
• A gas station with ample space
• A nearby main road with easy access

This door-to-door service saves you time and hassle compared to terminal-to-terminal shipping, where you’d need to drop off and pick up your vehicle at distant shipping yards.

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.
