New Braunfels, TX Car Shipping

Getting your vehicle ready for transport from New Braunfels, TX is simple with these key steps:

Remove personal items: Take out all belongings, including toll tags, GPS devices, and any loose items that could shift during transport.

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

Check fluids and battery: Ensure your car has enough gas (about 1/4 tank) and that the battery is charged. Your vehicle needs to start and move for loading.

Document condition: Take photos of your car from all angles before pickup. This protects you if any damage occurs during shipping.

Provide working keys: Make sure you have a spare key to give the driver. Remote fobs should work properly too.

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

For car shipping from New Braunfels, 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 routes more efficiently when they have advance notice
• More options: You’ll have access to more available carriers and pickup times
• Less stress: Avoid last-minute rush fees and limited availability

If you’re moving during peak season (summer months or winter snowbird migration), consider booking 3-4 weeks ahead. New Braunfels sits along major shipping routes between Austin and San Antonio, which typically means good carrier availability year-round.

Need faster service? We can often accommodate shorter notice, but expect higher costs and fewer scheduling options. Contact us as soon as you know your moving dates for the best experience.

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 works well for most everyday vehicles. Enclosed transport protects your car inside a covered trailer, shielding it from rain, hail, and flying debris – important for New Braunfels residents dealing with Texas weather.

Enclosed transport costs 40-60% more than open transport. Choose enclosed if you have a luxury car, classic vehicle, or custom paint job that needs extra protection. Most people shipping standard cars from New Braunfels use open transport to save money. See our open vs enclosed auto transport guide for detailed comparisons and pricing.

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.
