Mesquite, TX Car Shipping

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

Remove personal items: Take out all belongings, including items in the glove box, trunk, and console. Carriers cannot transport personal property for insurance reasons.

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

Document condition: Take photos of your car from all angles. Note any scratches, dents, or damage on the inspection report.

Prepare for pickup: Remove toll tags, GPS devices, and loose accessories. Disable your car alarm. Make sure you have less than a quarter tank of gas – this reduces weight and meets safety requirements.

Have keys ready: Provide one set of working keys to the driver. Make sure your car starts and runs properly.

For complete preparation details, check our Vehicle Shipping Tips guide. Following these steps ensures smooth pickup and delivery of your vehicle from Mesquite.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping from Mesquite, TX with Sherpa Auto Transport. We require all our carriers to maintain comprehensive insurance coverage that protects your vehicle throughout the entire transport process.

Here’s what covers your vehicle:

• $1,000,000 minimum liability insurance – Protects against accidents and damage
• $100,000 minimum cargo insurance – Covers your specific vehicle during transport
• Verified coverage – We check that insurance is active before your Mesquite pickup

For added protection, all our contracted carriers list Sherpa as a Certificate Holder on their insurance policy. This means we can directly verify coverage and handle any claims if needed.

Important: While our carriers provide excellent coverage, we recommend checking with your personal auto insurance about any gaps during transport. Some policies offer additional protection during shipping.

We recommend booking your car shipping service from Mesquite, TX at least 1-2 weeks in advance. However, scheduling even earlier gives you the best results.

Here’s why early booking helps:

• Better pricing: Carriers can plan routes and offer competitive rates
• More carrier options: Popular routes from Mesquite fill up quickly
• Flexible pickup dates: You’ll have more scheduling options
• Less stress: Avoid last-minute rush and higher costs

If you need rush shipping, we can often arrange pickup within 2-7 days, but expect higher rates. For the most affordable and reliable service from Mesquite, book as soon as you know your moving dates.

Pro tip: Mesquite’s location near Dallas means good carrier availability, but popular seasons (summer and fall) book faster.

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 budget-friendly option. Your car rides on an open trailer, exposed to weather and road debris. It’s safe for most vehicles and costs much 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.

Choose open transport if you want to save money and have a standard daily-driver vehicle. Choose enclosed transport if you’re shipping a luxury car, classic vehicle, exotic car, or any car with custom paint work from Mesquite, TX.

Most customers pick open transport because it’s reliable and affordable. See our open vs enclosed auto transport guide for a detailed comparison and pricing information.
