Pflugerville, TX Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Pflugerville, 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. Most carriers don’t allow personal items during transport.

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

Check fluids and battery: Ensure your car has enough gas (about 1/4 tank), oil, and brake fluid. Make sure your battery is secure and working.

Remove accessories: Take off any loose parts like bike racks, spoilers, or toll tags that could get damaged or fall off during transport.

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

For car shipping from Pflugerville, 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 offer lower rates
• 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 around holidays), consider booking 4-6 weeks ahead. Pflugerville’s location near Austin means good carrier availability, but popular routes fill up quickly.

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 is the most common and budget-friendly option. Your car rides on an open trailer alongside other vehicles. It’s safe and reliable for most cars, but your vehicle is exposed to weather and road debris during transport.

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

Most Pflugerville residents choose open transport for everyday vehicles. Consider enclosed transport if your car is worth over $50,000 or has special value to you. Both options are insured and arrive safely – it’s mainly about your budget and peace of mind.

We can also ship electric vehicles.
