Beaumont, TX Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Beaumont, TX 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 left inside.

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

Check for leaks and mechanical issues: Make sure your car runs properly, has no fluid leaks, and maintains proper tire pressure.

Secure or remove accessories: Remove or secure antennas, spoilers, bike racks, and other external attachments that could be damaged during transit.

Provide a working key: Have a key ready for the driver to load and unload your vehicle.

Keep fuel low: Leave only about a quarter tank of gas to reduce weight.

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

Before your shipment begins, we verify that the carrier’s insurance is valid and current. We also require all carriers to add Sherpa Auto Transport as a Certificate Holder on their policy. This gives you an extra layer of protection.

You’ll receive a copy of the carrier’s insurance certificate before pickup. We recommend taking photos of your vehicle before and after transport for your records.

If you have questions about insurance coverage for your Beaumont vehicle shipment, our team is here to help.

We recommend scheduling your car shipping service from Beaumont, TX at least 1-2 weeks in advance. However, booking earlier gives you the best rates and more carrier options.

Here’s why advance notice helps:

• Better pricing: Carriers can plan efficient routes and bundle multiple vehicles
• More flexibility: You’ll have more pickup date options to choose from
• Peak season planning: Summer months and holidays get busy, so book 3-4 weeks ahead during these times

Need to ship sooner? We can often arrange expedited pickup within 24-48 hours, though this typically costs more. Contact us as soon as you know your moving dates, and we’ll work to accommodate your timeline.

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 popular and affordable option, used for about 90% of all car shipments.

Enclosed auto transport ships your vehicle inside a fully covered trailer. This provides complete protection from weather, dust, and road debris. It costs 40-60% more than open transport.

Which should you choose? Most Beaumont residents use open transport for standard vehicles. It’s safe, reliable, and budget-friendly. Choose enclosed transport if you’re shipping a luxury car, classic vehicle, exotic car, or any vehicle with custom paint or modifications. The extra protection is worth the cost for high-value vehicles.

See our open vs enclosed auto transport guide for more details and pricing information.

Yes, we offer door-to-door auto transport service for all shipments to and from Beaumont, TX. This means we’ll pick up your vehicle from your home, office, or any address you choose, and deliver it directly to your destination.

At Pickup: The carrier will come to your specified address in Beaumont to load your vehicle. You don’t need to drive to a terminal or drop-off location.

At Delivery: Your car will be delivered right to your door at the destination address you provide.

Special Circumstances: In some cases, large car carriers may not be able to access certain streets due to low-hanging trees, narrow roads, or tight turns.

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.
