Pharr, TX Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Pharr, TX is simple. Follow these steps to ensure a smooth pickup:

Remove personal items: Take out all belongings, toll passes, and loose items from your car. Carriers don’t insure personal property, and extra weight can affect shipping costs.

Clean your vehicle: Wash your car inside and out. This makes it easier to document any existing damage during the inspection.

Document condition: Take photos of your vehicle from all angles before shipping. This protects you if any issues arise.

Check for leaks and maintenance: Make sure your car has no fluid leaks. Ensure the battery is charged, tires are inflated, and there’s no more than a quarter tank of gas.

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

Provide a key: Have a spare key ready for the driver. Keep one for yourself.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured during transport from Pharr, 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 list Sherpa Auto Transport as a Certificate Holder on their policy. This gives you extra protection and peace of mind.

Your carrier will provide proof of insurance before pickup. We recommend taking photos of your vehicle before transport and reviewing the condition report with your driver. This documentation helps ensure a smooth process from start to finish.

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

Here’s why early booking helps:

• Better pricing: Carriers can plan routes more efficiently and offer competitive rates
• More carrier options: You’ll have access to more qualified drivers heading your direction
• Flexible scheduling: You can choose pickup dates that work best for your timeline
• Route optimization: Carriers can bundle your vehicle with others traveling the same route

Need faster service? We can often arrange pickups in 2-5 days for an expedited fee. This works well for last-minute moves or urgent situations.

Pharr’s location in the Rio Grande Valley means carriers regularly travel through the area. Still, advance notice helps ensure smooth coordination and the best service possible.

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 affordable option. Your vehicle is loaded onto an open-air trailer alongside other cars. It’s fully safe for most vehicles and costs significantly less than enclosed transport.

Enclosed auto transport provides extra protection inside a covered trailer. It shields your car from weather, road debris, and dust. This option costs 50-60% more than open transport but is worth it for luxury cars, classic vehicles, or cars with custom paint jobs.

For most Pharr residents shipping standard vehicles, open transport works great and saves money. Choose enclosed transport if your car is high-value or needs maximum protection. Learn more in our open vs enclosed auto transport guide.

Yes! We offer door-to-door auto transport service for maximum convenience. When you book your shipment, simply provide your preferred pickup and delivery addresses in Pharr, TX (or your destination), and our carrier will come directly to you.

Important to know: In some cases, large car carriers may not be able to access certain streets in Pharr due to narrow roads, low-hanging trees, or tight turns. If this happens, our driver will contact you to arrange a nearby meeting spot, such as a shopping center parking lot or gas station. This is rare, but we always prioritize safety and work with you to find the most convenient alternative.

Door-to-door service is included in most quotes at no extra charge, making it the easiest way to ship your car to or from Pharr, TX.

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.
