Yes, your vehicle is fully insured during transport from Cedar Park, TX. All carriers in our network must carry at least $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 active. We also require all carriers to add Sherpa Auto Transport as a Certificate Holder on their policy for added protection.

This coverage protects your vehicle from damage during loading, transport, and unloading. You’ll receive the carrier’s insurance details before pickup so you have complete peace of mind.

We recommend scheduling your car shipment from Cedar Park, TX at least 1-2 weeks in advance. However, booking earlier gives you the best results.

Here’s why early booking helps:

• Better pricing: Carriers can plan routes more efficiently and offer competitive rates
• More carrier options: You’ll have access to more available drivers in the Cedar Park area
• Flexible pickup dates: Earlier booking means more scheduling flexibility for you
• Route optimization: Carriers can bundle your vehicle with others heading the same direction

Need to ship sooner? We can often accommodate rush shipments with 2-3 days notice, though this typically costs more. For the best experience and pricing, book as early as possible—especially during busy seasons like summer and the beginning and end of each month.

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 common and affordable option, used for about 90% of all vehicle shipments.

Enclosed auto transport ships your vehicle in a fully covered trailer, protecting it from weather, dust, and road debris. This premium service typically costs 50-60% more than open transport.

Most Cedar Park residents choose open transport—it’s safe, reliable, and cost-effective for everyday vehicles. Consider enclosed transport if you’re shipping a luxury car, classic vehicle, exotic sports car, or any car with custom paint or modifications. The extra protection is worth the cost for high-value vehicles.

Yes! We offer door-to-door auto transport service throughout Cedar Park, TX and nationwide. This is our most popular shipping option because it’s simple and convenient.

Here’s how it works: When you book your shipment, you’ll provide your preferred pickup and delivery addresses in Cedar Park. Our carrier will come directly to your home, office, or specified location to pick up your vehicle. When delivery time comes, they’ll bring it right to your destination address.

Important to know: While we always aim for true door-to-door service, some Cedar Park neighborhoods may have restrictions. Narrow streets, low-hanging trees, tight turns, or HOA rules can sometimes prevent large car carriers from accessing certain areas. If this happens, your driver will contact you to arrange a convenient nearby meeting spot—like a shopping center parking lot or main road.

Most Cedar Park locations are easily accessible for our carriers, making door-to-door service straightforward and hassle-free. We’ll work with you every step of the way to ensure the smoothest pickup and delivery experience possible.

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.
