Waxahachie, TX Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Waxahachie, TX is simple but important. Here’s what you need to do:

Remove personal items: Take out all belongings, including toll passes, GPS devices, and fragile items. Car carriers are not responsible for personal property.

Clean your car: Wash your vehicle inside and out. This helps you spot any existing damage during the inspection.

Check fluids and battery: Make sure your car has enough gas (about 1/4 tank) and that the battery works. Your car needs to start and drive onto the carrier.

Remove loose parts: Take off custom accessories, spoilers, or anything that might come loose during transport.

Have keys ready: You’ll need to give the driver a working key or key fob.

• $1,000,000 minimum liability insurance – Required from every carrier
• $100,000 minimum cargo insurance – Protects your vehicle’s value
• Valid insurance verification – We confirm coverage before your Waxahachie pickup

For added protection, Sherpa Auto Transport is listed as a Certificate Holder on each carrier’s insurance policy. This means we monitor coverage and ensure it stays active during your shipment from Waxahachie.

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

Here’s why early booking helps:

• Better pricing: Carriers can plan routes more efficiently
• More options: You’ll have access to more available carriers
• Flexible scheduling: Easier to work around your timeline

If you need faster service, we can often arrange pickup within 3-7 days, but expect higher costs for rush orders. During peak seasons (summer and winter holidays), book even earlier if possible.

Pro tip: Waxahachie’s location near Dallas means more carrier traffic, which can work in your favor for quicker pickup times compared to rural areas.

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 affordable 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 road debris.

Choose open transport for everyday cars to save money. Choose enclosed transport for luxury cars, classics, or vehicles with custom paint jobs. Many Waxahachie residents pick open transport for regular moves and enclosed for special vehicles.

Both options are safe and reliable. The choice depends on your budget and how much protection your car needs. See our complete open vs enclosed guide for more details.

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.
