Orem, UT Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Orem, UT is simple. Follow these key steps:

Remove personal items: Take out all belongings, toll passes, and fragile items. Carriers are not insured for personal property left inside the vehicle.

Clean your car: Wash the exterior so you can document its condition with photos before shipping.

Check for leaks and mechanical issues: Make sure your vehicle runs properly and has no fluid leaks. Inflate tires to the recommended pressure.

Secure or remove accessories: Take off or secure any loose parts like spoilers, antennas, or roof racks that could be damaged during transport.

Keep fuel low: Leave only about a quarter tank of gas. This reduces weight and meets safety requirements.

Provide a key: Have a working key ready for the driver to load and unload your vehicle.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping from Orem, UT. Every carrier in our network must carry a minimum of $1,000,000 in liability insurance and $100,000 in cargo insurance.

Before we assign your shipment, we verify that the carrier’s insurance is active and valid. We also require all carriers to add Sherpa Auto Transport as a Certificate Holder on their policy. This gives you an extra layer of protection during transport.

Your vehicle is covered from pickup in Orem through delivery at your destination. If you’d like to review the carrier’s insurance certificate before your shipment, just ask—we’re happy to provide it.

We recommend scheduling your car pickup from Orem, UT at least 1-2 weeks in advance. However, booking earlier gives you the best results.

Here’s why early booking helps:

• Better carrier availability: Carriers can plan routes and bundle your vehicle with other shipments heading in the same direction
• Lower costs: Last-minute bookings often cost more due to limited availability
• Flexible scheduling: You’ll have more pickup date options to choose from

If you need expedited service, we can often arrange pickup within 24-48 hours for an additional fee. Keep in mind that Orem’s location along the I-15 corridor typically provides good carrier availability year-round.

Bottom line: Book as early as possible, but we can work with your timeline even if you need faster service.

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 affordable option. Your vehicle is shipped on an open-air trailer alongside other cars, exposed to weather and road elements. It’s safe, reliable, and costs significantly less—making it ideal for standard daily-driver vehicles.

Enclosed auto transport provides full protection inside a covered trailer, shielding your car from weather, dust, and debris. This premium service costs 40-60% more than open transport but is worth it for luxury cars, classics, exotic vehicles, or cars with custom paint jobs.

Most Orem residents choose open transport for everyday vehicles. Consider enclosed transport if your car is high-value or requires extra protection. Learn more in our open vs enclosed auto transport guide.

Important note for Orem residents: While we strive to reach every address, some locations may have restrictions. Narrow streets, low-hanging trees, tight turns, or residential rules can sometimes prevent large car carriers from accessing certain areas.

Most Orem customers experience seamless door-to-door service without any issues. Our team works closely with you throughout the process to ensure a smooth pickup and delivery experience.

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.
