Keller, TX Car Shipping

Properly preparing your vehicle ensures a smooth shipping experience. Here’s what you need to do before your car leaves Keller, TX:

Remove Personal Items: Take out all personal belongings, toll passes, and loose items from the interior. Carriers are not insured for personal property left inside the vehicle.

Clean Your Vehicle: Wash your car inside and out. This makes it easier to document any existing damage during the inspection.

Document Condition: Take photos of your vehicle from all angles, noting any scratches, dents, or damage before shipping.

Check Fluids and Battery: Ensure your gas tank is only 1/4 full, and verify that the battery is charged and all fluids are at proper levels.

Disable Alarms: Turn off or disable any car alarms to prevent issues during transport.

Remove Accessories: Take off custom antennas, spoilers, bike racks, or any aftermarket accessories that could be damaged.

Provide a Key: Have a working key ready to give the driver for loading and unloading.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured during transport from Keller, 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, we verify that the carrier’s insurance is active and valid. We also require all carriers to add Sherpa Auto Transport as a Certificate Holder on their policy. This gives you extra protection and peace of mind.

You’ll receive a copy of the carrier’s insurance certificate before pickup. If you have questions about coverage, our team is happy to walk you through the details.

We recommend scheduling your car pickup from Keller, TX at least 1-2 weeks in advance. However, booking earlier gives you the best chance of securing lower rates and flexible pickup windows.

Here’s why advance notice helps:

• Better carrier availability: Carriers can plan routes and bundle multiple vehicles heading in the same direction, which often reduces costs.
• More competitive pricing: Last-minute bookings typically cost more due to limited carrier options.
• Flexible scheduling: You’ll have more control over your pickup and delivery dates.

If you need expedited service, we can often accommodate pickups within 24-48 hours, though premium rates may apply. For the smoothest experience, book as early as possible—especially during peak moving 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. It’s the most common and affordable option, costing significantly less than enclosed shipping. Your vehicle will be exposed to weather and road conditions during transit, but carriers take precautions to protect your car.

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

When to choose open transport: Most standard vehicles ship safely via open transport. It’s reliable, cost-effective, and the same method dealerships use to transport new cars.

When to choose enclosed transport: Consider enclosed shipping for luxury vehicles, classic cars, exotic sports cars, or vehicles with custom paint jobs. The extra protection is worth the cost for high-value automobiles.

For Keller residents, both options are readily available. See our open vs enclosed auto transport guide for a detailed comparison and pricing information.

Yes, we offer door-to-door auto transport service to and from Keller, TX. This is our most popular option because it’s the most convenient way to ship your vehicle.

Here’s how it works: When you book your shipment, simply provide your pickup and delivery addresses in Keller. Our carrier will come directly to your home or business to pick up your vehicle and deliver it right to your destination address.

In most Keller neighborhoods, door-to-door service works perfectly. However, if your street has low-hanging trees, tight turns, or restrictions on large trucks, the driver may ask to meet you at a nearby location. This could be a shopping center parking lot, gas station, or main road that’s easier for the carrier to access safely.

Our drivers always call ahead to confirm the pickup time and location. They’ll work with you to find the best solution that’s convenient and safe for everyone involved.

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.
