Pflugerville, TX Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Pflugerville, TX is simple. Follow these key steps:

Remove personal items: Take out all belongings, toll tags, and loose items from your car. Carriers typically don’t insure personal property during transit.

Clean your vehicle: Wash your car inside and out. This makes it easier to document any existing damage before shipping.

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

Check fluids and battery: Ensure your car has adequate fuel (about a quarter tank), proper fluid levels, and a charged battery.

Remove accessories: Take off or secure any custom parts, antennas, spoilers, or bike racks that could be damaged.

Disable alarms: Turn off your car alarm to prevent issues during transport.

Provide a key: Have a working key ready for the driver.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured during transport from Pflugerville, TX. All carriers in our network must carry a minimum of $1,000,000 in liability insurance and $100,000 in cargo insurance.

Before your shipment begins, we verify that the carrier’s insurance is active and valid. We also require all carriers to add Sherpa Auto Transport as a Certificate Holder on their policy. This gives you extra protection and peace of mind.

You’ll receive a copy of the carrier’s insurance certificate before pickup. We recommend reviewing it and taking photos of your vehicle before and after transport to document its condition.

We recommend scheduling your car shipping pickup from Pflugerville, TX at least 1-2 weeks in advance. This gives carriers enough time to plan efficient routes and find other vehicles heading in the same direction.

However, booking earlier has clear benefits:

• More carrier options: You’ll have access to more available carriers and better pricing
• Flexible scheduling: You can choose pickup dates that work best for your timeline
• Lower costs: Last-minute bookings often cost more due to limited availability

If you need faster service, we can often arrange pickup within 2-5 days, though this may come with a premium price. For the best experience and rates, contact us as soon as you know your moving 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 auto transport uses an open-air trailer that carries multiple vehicles at once. Your car is exposed to weather and road debris during transit. This is the most affordable option and accounts for over 90% of vehicle shipments nationwide.

Enclosed auto transport ships your vehicle in a fully covered trailer, protecting it from weather, dust, and road debris. This premium service costs 40-60% more than open transport.

Most Pflugerville residents choose open transport for everyday vehicles. It’s safe, reliable, and budget-friendly. Consider enclosed transport if you’re shipping a luxury car, classic vehicle, exotic sports car, or any car with custom modifications or a rare paint job.

Both options are fully insured. Learn more in our open vs enclosed auto transport guide.

Yes, we offer door-to-door auto transport service throughout Pflugerville, TX and across the country. This is our most popular shipping option because it’s the most convenient.

Here’s how it works: When you book your shipment, simply provide your pickup and delivery addresses. Our carrier will come directly to your home, business, or specified location in Pflugerville to pick up your vehicle. When delivery time comes, they’ll bring it right to your door at the destination.

In most residential areas of Pflugerville, door-to-door service works without any issues. However, if your street has low-hanging trees, tight turns, or narrow roads that a large car carrier can’t safely navigate, the driver will contact you to arrange a nearby meeting spot. This is typically a nearby parking lot, shopping center, or gas station—usually just a short distance away.

Door-to-door service is included in your quote at no extra charge, making it both convenient and cost-effective for Pflugerville residents.

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.
