Roanoke, TX Car Shipping

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

Clean your vehicle: Wash the exterior so you can document any existing damage with photos.

Remove personal items: Take out all belongings, toll passes, and loose items. These aren’t covered by insurance during transit.

Check fluids and battery: Ensure your car has enough gas (about 1/4 tank) and the battery is charged so the driver can load and unload it.

Disable alarms: Turn off any car alarms to avoid issues during transport.

Remove or secure accessories: Take off custom antennas, spoilers, bike racks, or any exterior add-ons that could get damaged.

Document condition: Take clear photos of your vehicle from all angles before pickup.

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

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

Before your shipment, we verify that the carrier’s insurance is valid and active. 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.

Your quote includes this insurance coverage at no extra cost. You’ll receive the carrier’s insurance details before pickup so you have all the information you need.

We recommend scheduling your car shipping pickup from Roanoke, 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 flexibility: You’ll have more pickup date options to choose from
• Route optimization: Your vehicle can be grouped with other shipments heading the same direction

If you need faster service, we offer expedited shipping with pickups possible in as little as 24-48 hours. This costs more but works well for urgent moves.

For the best experience, contact us as soon as you know your moving dates. We’ll work with your schedule and find the right carrier for your Roanoke, TX pickup.

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 open-air trailers that carry multiple vehicles at once. Your car is exposed to weather and road elements during transit. This is the most common and affordable option, used for about 90% of vehicle shipments.

Enclosed auto transport uses fully covered trailers that protect your vehicle from weather, dust, and debris. This premium service costs 50-60% more than open transport but offers maximum protection.

Choose open transport if: You have a standard daily-driver vehicle and want to save money. It’s safe, reliable, and perfect for most cars.

Choose enclosed transport if: You’re shipping a luxury car, classic vehicle, exotic sports car, or any car with custom paint or modifications. The extra cost is worth the peace of mind.

Most Roanoke, TX residents choose open transport for everyday vehicles. Learn more in our open vs enclosed auto transport guide.

Yes, we offer door-to-door auto transport service to and from Roanoke, TX. This is our most popular shipping option because it’s convenient and hassle-free.

Here’s how it works: When you book your shipment, simply provide your pickup and delivery addresses in Roanoke. Our carrier will come directly to your home or business to load your vehicle and deliver it right to your destination address.

In most Roanoke neighborhoods, door-to-door service works perfectly. However, if your street has low-hanging trees, narrow roads, or weight restrictions that make it unsafe for a large carrier truck, we’ll arrange a nearby meeting spot instead. This might be a local parking lot, gas station, or main road that’s easy to access.

Our drivers will always contact you before pickup and delivery to confirm the exact location and timing. We work with you to find the most convenient solution for your situation.

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.
