Roanoke, TX Car Shipping

Getting your car ready for transport from Roanoke, TX is simple. First, remove all personal items from inside your vehicle – this includes toll tags, GPS devices, and any loose items that could shift during transport. Next, clean your car inside and out so you can easily spot any damage during inspection.

Make sure your gas tank is between 1/4 and 1/2 full – this gives the driver enough fuel to load and unload your car without adding extra weight. Remove or secure any loose parts like spoilers, bike racks, or antennas that could get damaged on the road.

Finally, have a spare key ready for the driver and take photos of your car from all angles before pickup. For a complete checklist, visit our Vehicle Shipping Tips page. Following these steps will help ensure your car arrives safely at its new destination.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping from Roanoke, TX. All Sherpa Auto Transport carriers must carry at least $1,000,000 in liability insurance and $100,000 in cargo insurance to protect your vehicle during transport.

We take extra steps to protect Roanoke customers by:

• Verifying each carrier’s insurance is active and valid before pickup
• Requiring carriers to add Sherpa as a Certificate Holder on their policy
• Monitoring coverage throughout your entire shipment

This means you have peace of mind knowing your vehicle is protected from the moment it leaves Roanoke until it reaches its destination. Our insurance requirements exceed industry standards to ensure maximum protection for your investment.

For car shipping from Roanoke, TX, we recommend booking at least 2-3 weeks in advance. This gives you the best chance to secure competitive rates and reliable carriers.

• Better pricing: Carriers can plan routes more efficiently
• More options: You’ll have access to more available drivers

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 transport is the most common and budget-friendly option. Your car rides on an open trailer, exposed to weather and road debris. It’s safe for most vehicles and costs less.

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

For most Roanoke, TX residents shipping standard vehicles, open transport works great and saves money. Choose enclosed transport if your car is valuable, rare, or has special modifications that need extra protection. See our open vs enclosed auto transport guide for detailed comparisons and pricing.

Yes, Sherpa Auto Transport offers convenient door-to-door auto transport service for Roanoke, TX residents. When you book your car shipment, simply provide your pickup and delivery addresses. Our carrier will come directly to your location in Roanoke to collect your vehicle and deliver it right to your destination.

In most cases, we can pick up and drop off at your exact address. However, if your street has restrictions like low-hanging branches, narrow roads, or weight limits that prevent our large transport trucks from accessing your location safely, we’ll work with you to find a convenient nearby spot. This might be a local parking lot, gas station, or main road that’s easy for you to reach.

Door-to-door service saves you time and hassle – no need to drive to a terminal or depot. It’s our most popular shipping option because it offers maximum convenience for busy customers in Roanoke.

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.
