San Angelo, TX Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for shipping from San Angelo, TX is simple but important. First, remove all personal items from inside your car, including toll passes, GPS devices, and any fragile items that could break during transport.

Next, clean your vehicle inside and out. This helps you spot any existing damage and makes the inspection process smoother. Take photos of your car from all angles before pickup.

Check fluid levels and tire pressure, but keep your gas tank only 1/4 full to reduce weight. Remove or secure any loose exterior accessories like bike racks, spoilers, or custom antennas that could be damaged.

Finally, have a working key ready for the carrier and make sure your car can start and move easily. If your vehicle has any mechanical issues, let us know ahead of time.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured during transport from San Angelo, TX. Every carrier in our network must carry at least $1,000,000 in liability insurance and $100,000 in cargo insurance.

Before your San Angelo car shipment begins, we verify that your carrier’s insurance is current and valid. We also require all carriers to add Sherpa Auto Transport as a Certificate Holder on their policy for extra protection.

This insurance covers your vehicle from pickup in San Angelo through delivery at your destination. You’ll receive insurance details with your shipping documents so you have complete peace of mind during transport.

For car shipping from San Angelo, TX, we recommend booking at least 2-3 weeks in advance. This gives you the best chance to secure competitive rates and preferred pickup dates.

Here’s why early booking matters:

• Better pricing: Carriers can plan efficient routes and offer lower rates
• More scheduling options: You’ll have flexibility to choose pickup times that work for you
• Route optimization: Your vehicle can be bundled with other shipments heading in the same direction

While we can often accommodate last-minute requests (even same-week), you may face higher costs and limited availability. San Angelo’s location in West Texas means carriers need time to coordinate pickups with their existing routes.

Pro tip: If you’re moving during peak season (summer months), consider booking 3-4 weeks ahead to ensure the best service and rates.

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, exposed to weather and road debris. It’s safe and reliable for most vehicles.

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.

Choose open transport if: You want to save money and have a standard daily-driver vehicle.

Choose enclosed transport if: You’re shipping a luxury car, classic vehicle, exotic car, or any car with custom paint or modifications that you want extra protection for.

Most San Angelo residents choose open transport since it’s cost-effective and perfectly safe for regular vehicles. See our open vs enclosed auto transport guide for more details about which option works best for your specific situation.
