Wichita Falls, TX Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Wichita Falls, TX is simple but important. Start by removing all personal items from inside your car – this includes electronics, documents, and loose items that could shift during transport.

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

Make sure your car is in good working condition with no fluid leaks. Check that your battery is charged and your tires are properly inflated. Remove or secure any loose parts like spoilers, antennas, or bike racks.

Keep your gas tank between 1/4 and 1/2 full – this gives the driver enough fuel to load and unload while keeping the car lighter for transport.

Finally, have a spare key ready for the carrier and remove any toll tags or parking passes. For complete details, check our Vehicle Shipping Tips page.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping from Wichita Falls, 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 Wichita Falls car shipment, we verify that your 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 means your vehicle is covered from pickup in Wichita Falls through delivery at your destination. You can ship with confidence knowing your car is protected throughout the entire transport process.

For car shipping from Wichita Falls, TX, we recommend booking your pickup service at least 1-2 weeks in advance. However, scheduling earlier gives you better options and rates.

Here’s why advance booking helps:

• Better carrier availability – More transport trucks service your route
• Lower costs – Carriers can group your car with other vehicles heading the same direction
• Flexible pickup dates – You get more scheduling options that work with your timeline

During busy seasons (summer months and winter holidays), consider booking 3-4 weeks ahead. Wichita Falls sits along major shipping routes, which typically means good carrier coverage year-round.

Need faster service? We offer expedited shipping options, though these cost more than standard transport. Contact us early to discuss your specific timeline and get the best solution for your car shipping needs.

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 travels on an open trailer alongside other vehicles, exposed to weather and road debris. This method costs less and offers faster pickup times since most carriers use open trailers.

Enclosed auto transport protects your vehicle inside a covered trailer, shielding it from weather, dust, and road debris. This premium service costs 40-60% more than open transport but provides maximum protection.

Choose open transport if: You have a standard daily driver and want to save money. Most cars shipped from Wichita Falls use this reliable method without issues.

Choose enclosed transport if: You own a luxury car, classic vehicle, or custom car that needs extra protection. The higher cost is worth it for valuable automobiles.

Both options are safe and insured. See our complete open vs enclosed auto transport guide for detailed comparisons and pricing.

Yes, Sherpa Auto Transport offers door-to-door auto transport service for customers in Wichita Falls, TX. This means we’ll pick up your vehicle from your home, office, or chosen location and deliver it directly to your destination address.

When you book your car shipment, simply provide us with your preferred pickup and delivery addresses. Our assigned carrier will do their best to reach these exact locations. However, in some cases, large car carriers may not be able to access certain areas due to narrow streets, low-hanging branches, or residential restrictions common in some Wichita Falls neighborhoods.

If your street isn’t accessible, don’t worry – our driver will work with you to find a safe, convenient nearby location like a shopping center parking lot or gas station. This ensures your vehicle is picked up and delivered as close to your door as possible while keeping everyone safe.

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.
