Leander, TX Car Shipping

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

Remove Personal Items: Take out all personal belongings, including items in the glove box, trunk, and console. Carriers are not responsible for personal items.

Clean Your Car: Wash your vehicle inside and out. This helps you spot any existing damage during the inspection.

Check Fluids and Battery: Ensure your car has enough gas (about 1/4 tank), oil, and coolant. Make sure your battery is charged and secure.

Remove or Secure Loose Parts: Take off custom accessories, spoilers, or loose trim. Remove toll tags, GPS devices, and anything that could fall off during transport.

Document Everything: Take photos of your car from all angles before pickup. Note any existing scratches or dents.

Have Keys Ready: Provide one working key to the driver. Keep a spare for yourself.

For complete preparation details, check our Vehicle Shipping Tips guide. Following these steps ensures your car arrives safely at its destination.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping from Leander, 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 Leander car shipment begins, we verify that your carrier’s insurance is active and valid. This gives you peace of mind knowing your vehicle is protected throughout the entire transport process.

For added security, all our contracted carriers list Sherpa as a Certificate Holder on their insurance policy. This means we monitor coverage and ensure your vehicle stays protected from pickup in Leander to final delivery.

Your insurance coverage is included in our all-inclusive quotes – no hidden fees or extra charges for this protection.

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

Here’s why early booking matters:

• Better pricing: Carriers can plan efficient routes and bundle shipments
• More availability: Peak seasons fill up quickly
• Less stress: You’ll have backup options if plans change

If you need rush shipping, we can often arrange pickup within 2-7 days, though this typically costs more. For the most affordable and reliable service from Leander, book early and stay flexible with your dates.

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 cost-effective option. Your car rides on an open trailer, exposed to weather and road debris. It’s safe for most vehicles and costs significantly less.

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

For most Leander residents shipping standard vehicles, open transport works perfectly fine. Choose enclosed transport if your car is worth over $50,000 or has sentimental value you can’t replace. See our complete open vs enclosed guide for detailed comparisons and pricing.

When you book with us, simply provide your pickup and delivery addresses in Leander or your destination city. Our carrier will come right to your location – no need to drive to a terminal or depot.

However, some Leander neighborhoods have narrow streets or low-hanging branches that large car carriers cannot navigate safely. In these cases, we’ll arrange a nearby meeting spot like a grocery store parking lot or gas station. This ensures your vehicle stays safe during loading and unloading.

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.
