Conroe, TX Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Conroe, TX is simple but important. Start by removing all personal items from inside your car – carriers are not insured for personal belongings. Take out toll tags, GPS devices, and any loose items that could shift during transport.

Clean your vehicle inside and out before pickup. This makes it easier to spot any existing damage during the inspection. Document your car’s condition with photos from all angles.

Make sure your gas tank is between 1/4 and 1/2 full – enough fuel for loading and unloading, but not so much that it adds unnecessary weight. Check that your battery is charged and your tires are properly inflated.

Remove or secure loose parts like spoilers, bike racks, or custom accessories that could be damaged. If you can’t remove them, let your carrier know ahead of time.

Finally, have a spare key ready for the driver and make sure someone will be available for both pickup and delivery. For more detailed preparation tips, visit our Vehicle Shipping Tips page.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping from Conroe, TX. All Sherpa carriers must carry at least $1,000,000 in liability insurance and $100,000 in cargo insurance.

Before we assign your Conroe car shipment, we verify that your 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 Conroe through delivery at your destination. You can ship with confidence knowing your car is protected throughout the entire transport process.

For car shipping from Conroe, TX, we recommend booking at least 1-2 weeks in advance. However, scheduling 3-4 weeks ahead gives you the best rates and pickup options.

Here’s why earlier booking helps:

• Better pricing: Carriers can plan efficient routes and offer lower rates
• More pickup dates: You’ll have flexible scheduling options
• Route optimization: Your car gets bundled with other shipments heading the same direction

If you need last-minute shipping (less than one week), we can still help, but expect higher costs and limited carrier availability. Peak seasons like summer and winter holidays fill up faster, so book even earlier during these times.

Bottom line: The sooner you book your Conroe car shipping, the more money you’ll save and the smoother your experience will be.

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 is the most common and budget-friendly option. Your car rides on an open trailer alongside other vehicles. It’s safe and reliable for most cars, but your vehicle is exposed to weather and road debris during transport.

Enclosed transport costs 40-60% more but provides full protection inside a covered trailer. This option is ideal for luxury cars, classic vehicles, or cars with custom paint jobs that need extra protection from the elements.

For most Conroe residents shipping standard vehicles, open transport offers excellent value. However, if you’re moving a high-value car or want maximum protection, enclosed transport is worth the extra cost. See our detailed open vs enclosed auto transport guide to help you decide which option fits your needs and budget.
