Amarillo, TX Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Amarillo, TX is simple but important. Start by removing all personal items from inside your car, including toll passes, GPS devices, and any fragile objects. These items aren’t covered by insurance during transit.

Next, clean your vehicle inside and out. This makes it easier to spot any existing damage during the pre-transport inspection. Take photos of your car from all angles as documentation.

Check fluid levels and ensure your gas tank is no more than 1/4 full. Remove or secure any loose exterior accessories like bike racks, spoilers, or antennas that could be damaged during transport.

Finally, have a spare key ready for the carrier driver. Make sure your car is in good working condition with properly inflated tires.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping from Amarillo, TX with Sherpa Auto Transport. We require all our carriers to maintain comprehensive insurance coverage that protects your vehicle throughout the entire transport process.

Here’s what covers your vehicle:

• $1,000,000 minimum liability insurance – Protects against accidents and damage
• $100,000 minimum cargo insurance – Covers your specific vehicle during transport
• Verified coverage – We check that insurance is active and valid before your Amarillo pickup

For added protection, all our contracted carriers list Sherpa as a Certificate Holder on their insurance policy. This means we monitor coverage throughout your shipment and can quickly resolve any issues.

Your vehicle is protected from the moment it’s loaded in Amarillo until it reaches your destination. All insurance costs are included in your quote – no hidden fees or extra charges.

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

Here’s why advance booking helps:

• Better carrier availability: More time allows carriers to plan efficient routes through Amarillo
• Lower costs: Early booking lets carriers bundle your vehicle with other shipments
• Flexible scheduling: You’ll have more pickup date options to choose from

During busy seasons (summer months and winter holidays), consider booking 3-4 weeks ahead. Amarillo’s location along major transport corridors like I-40 typically means good carrier availability, but peak times can fill up quickly.

Need last-minute shipping? We can often accommodate rush orders, though expect higher prices and limited scheduling options.

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 that expose your car to weather and road debris. This is the most common and affordable option, costing about 50% less than enclosed transport. Your car will be safe and secure, but it may collect dust or minor debris during the journey from Amarillo.

Enclosed auto transport protects your vehicle inside a covered trailer, shielding it from weather, dust, and road debris. This premium service costs more but is ideal for luxury cars, classic vehicles, or cars with custom paint jobs that need extra protection.

Most people shipping standard vehicles from Amarillo choose open transport due to the cost savings. However, if you own a high-value or specialty vehicle, enclosed transport provides peace of mind. See our open vs enclosed auto transport guide for more details about which option works best for your Amarillo car shipping needs.

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

When you book your shipment, simply provide us with your pickup and delivery addresses. Our carrier will come right to you, making the process as convenient as possible. However, in some cases where large trucks can’t safely access certain areas due to low-hanging branches, narrow streets, or local restrictions, we’ll arrange to meet you at a nearby safe location like a shopping center or gas station.

Door-to-door service is included in our standard pricing and is the most popular choice for customers shipping cars to or from Amarillo because it saves time and eliminates the need to drive to a terminal.

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.
