Round Rock, TX Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Round Rock, 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. Carriers are not responsible for personal property.

Clean your car: Wash the exterior so you can easily spot any damage during inspection. A clean car also helps with the pickup process.

Document existing damage: Take photos of your vehicle from all angles before pickup. This protects you if any issues arise.

Check fluids and battery: Ensure your car has enough gas (about 1/4 tank), oil, and coolant. Make sure the battery is charged so your car can be loaded and unloaded.

Remove or secure loose parts: Take off custom accessories, spoilers, or anything that might fall off during transport. Fold in mirrors and retract antennas.

Disable alarms: Turn off car alarms to prevent battery drain and disruption during transport.

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

Before we assign your Round Rock vehicle shipment, we verify that the carrier’s insurance is active and valid. We also require all carriers to add Sherpa as a Certificate Holder on their policy for extra protection.

This insurance covers your vehicle during loading, transport, and unloading. The coverage is included in your quote at no extra cost to you.

For car shipping from Round Rock, TX, we recommend booking at least 2-3 weeks in advance. However, the earlier you schedule, the better your chances of securing preferred dates and competitive pricing.

Here’s why advance booking matters:

• Better carrier availability: Round Rock sits along major shipping routes, but carriers fill up quickly
• Lower costs: Last-minute bookings often cost 20-30% more
• Flexible scheduling: More time allows carriers to group your car with others heading the same direction

If you need rush service, we can often arrange pickup within 3-5 days, though this comes with premium pricing. For the best experience and value, book your Round Rock car shipping 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 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 significantly less.

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

For most Round Rock residents shipping standard vehicles, open transport works great. Choose enclosed if you’re moving a high-value car or want maximum protection. See our complete open vs enclosed guide to help you decide which option fits your needs and budget.

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.
