Lubbock, TX Car Shipping

Getting your car ready for shipping from Lubbock, TX is simple when you follow these key steps:

Remove personal items: Take out all belongings, toll tags, GPS devices, and fragile items. Most carriers don’t cover personal property damage.

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

Check fluids and battery: Keep gas tank between 1/4 and 1/2 full. Make sure your battery is charged so drivers can load and unload your car.

Remove or secure loose parts: Take off custom accessories, spoilers, or anything that might fall off during transport.

Have keys ready: Provide one set of working keys to the driver. Keep a spare for yourself.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping from Lubbock, TX with Sherpa Auto Transport. We require all our carriers to maintain minimum coverage of $1,000,000 in liability insurance and $100,000 in cargo insurance.

Before your Lubbock shipment begins, we verify that the carrier’s insurance is active and valid. We also require carriers to add Sherpa as a Certificate Holder on their policy for extra protection.

This means your vehicle is covered from pickup in Lubbock through delivery at your destination. You can ship with confidence knowing your car is protected throughout the entire transport process.

We recommend booking your car shipping service from Lubbock, TX 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 availability: Popular dates fill up quickly, especially during peak seasons
• Less stress: You’ll have time to prepare your vehicle and gather necessary documents

If you need expedited service, we can often arrange pickup within 3-5 days, though this may cost more. For the most flexibility and savings, book as early as possible once you know your moving timeline.

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 uncovered trailers where your car is exposed to weather and road debris. It costs less and is widely available. Enclosed transport uses covered trailers that fully protect your vehicle from the elements.

For most Lubbock residents shipping standard vehicles, open transport works great and saves money – typically 40-60% less than enclosed options. However, if you’re moving a luxury car, classic vehicle, or have custom modifications, enclosed transport is worth the extra cost for complete protection during your move from Lubbock.

Weather in West Texas can be harsh, so consider enclosed transport if your car has special value or you’re concerned about dust, hail, or sun damage during transit. See our complete open vs enclosed guide for detailed comparisons.

If your street has restrictions like low-hanging trees, narrow roads, or weight limits for large trucks, don’t worry. We’ll work with you to find a safe nearby spot like a shopping center or gas station.

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.
