Coppell, TX Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Coppell, TX is simple but important. First, remove all personal items from inside your car – this includes electronics, documents, and any loose objects that could shift during transit. Next, clean your vehicle inside and out so you can easily spot any damage during inspection.

Make sure to remove or secure exterior accessories like bike racks, spoilers, or antennas that could get damaged. Check that your gas tank is no more than 1/4 full to reduce weight and meet safety requirements. Finally, ensure you have a spare key available for the driver and document any existing damage with photos.

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

Before we assign your Coppell vehicle shipment, we verify that the carrier’s insurance is active and valid. This protects your car during pickup, transport, and delivery.

For added protection, all our contracted carriers list Sherpa as a Certificate Holder on their insurance policy. This means we can directly access policy details and ensure continuous coverage throughout your shipment.

What this means for you: Your vehicle is protected from the moment it leaves Coppell until it reaches its destination. You can ship with confidence knowing professional insurance coverage backs your transport.

For car shipping from Coppell, TX, we recommend booking at least 2-3 weeks in advance. This gives you the best chance to secure competitive rates and preferred pickup dates.

Here’s why early booking matters:

• Better pricing: Carriers can group your vehicle with others heading the same direction
• More availability: Popular routes from Coppell fill up quickly
• Flexible scheduling: You’ll have more pickup time options

If you need last-minute shipping, we can often accommodate rush orders within 3-7 days. However, expect higher costs and limited carrier options.

Peak season tip: During busy times (summer months and holidays), book 3-4 weeks ahead for the best service from Coppell.

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 trailers that expose your vehicle to weather and road debris. It’s the most common and affordable option, costing about 50% less than enclosed transport. Most everyday vehicles ship safely this way.

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

For most Coppell residents shipping standard vehicles, open transport works great and saves money. Choose enclosed transport if you’re moving a high-value car that needs extra protection. Check out our complete open vs enclosed auto transport guide to help you decide which option fits your needs and budget.

Yes, Sherpa Auto Transport offers door-to-door auto transport service for Coppell, TX residents. This means we pick up your vehicle from your home or office and deliver it directly to your destination address.

Here’s how it works: When you book your shipment, simply provide your preferred pickup and delivery addresses in Coppell. Our assigned carrier will come to your location to collect your vehicle and transport it to your specified destination.

In some cases, large car carriers may not be able to navigate narrow residential streets or areas with low-hanging branches in Coppell neighborhoods. If this happens, our driver will work with you to find a safe, nearby meeting spot like a shopping center parking lot or gas station – usually within a few blocks of your home.

Door-to-door service saves you time and hassle. You won’t need to drive to a terminal or arrange separate transportation. Most Coppell customers find this service extremely convenient for their car shipping needs.

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.
