League City, TX Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from League City, TX is simple but important. Here’s what you need to do:

Remove personal items: Take out all belongings, including toll tags, GPS devices, and anything loose. Carriers aren’t responsible for personal items.

Clean your car: Wash the exterior so you can easily spot any damage during inspection. A clean car also helps with the pre-transport inspection.

Check fluids and battery: Make sure your car has enough gas (about 1/4 tank), oil, and a working battery. Your vehicle needs to start and drive onto the carrier.

Remove or secure accessories: Take off bike racks, spoilers, or anything that could get damaged. Fold in mirrors and retract antennas.

Have keys ready: You’ll need to give the driver a working key for loading and unloading.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping from League City, TX. All Sherpa Auto Transport carriers must carry a minimum of $1,000,000 in liability insurance and $100,000 in cargo insurance.

Before your League City car shipment begins, 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 League City through delivery at your destination. Our insurance requirements exceed industry standards to give you peace of mind during transport.

For car shipping from League City, TX, we recommend booking your pickup service 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 plan efficient routes and bundle shipments
• More scheduling options: You get first choice of available pickup windows
• Less stress: No last-minute scrambling to find available transport

If you’re moving during peak seasons (summer months, holidays, or winter snowbird migration), consider booking 4-6 weeks ahead. League City’s proximity to Houston makes it a popular pickup location, but early booking ensures your spot.

Need faster service? We offer expedited shipping options, though rates may be higher for rush bookings.

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 is the most common and cost-effective method. Your car rides on an open trailer, exposed to weather and road debris. This works great for everyday vehicles and saves you money.

Enclosed auto transport protects your vehicle inside a covered trailer. It costs 40-60% more than open transport, but shields your car from weather, dust, and road debris. This is ideal for luxury cars, classic vehicles, or cars with custom paint jobs.

For most League City residents shipping standard vehicles, open transport offers excellent value. Choose enclosed transport if you’re moving a high-value car that needs extra protection. See our complete open vs enclosed auto transport guide for detailed comparisons and pricing.

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

When you book with us, simply provide your preferred pickup and delivery locations. Our carriers will do their best to reach these exact spots. However, some League City neighborhoods have narrow streets or low-hanging trees that make it hard for large car carriers to navigate safely.

If your specific address isn’t accessible, don’t worry. Our driver will work with you to find a convenient nearby location like a shopping center, gas station, or open parking lot. This is still much easier than driving to a distant terminal.

Door-to-door service saves you time and hassle. You won’t need to arrange extra transportation or take time off work to drop off or pick up your vehicle at a far-away location.

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.
