Park City, UT Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Park City, UT is simple but important. Start by removing all personal items from inside your car, including toll passes, GPS devices, and any fragile items that could break during transit. Clean your vehicle inside and out – this helps you spot any existing damage before shipping.

Remove or secure loose exterior accessories like bike racks, spoilers, or antennas that could get damaged on the road. Make sure your gas tank is between 1/4 and 1/2 full – enough for loading and unloading, but not so much that it adds unnecessary weight.

Check that your battery is charged and your tires are properly inflated. Have a spare key ready for the driver, and take photos of your car from all angles before pickup. For complete preparation details, visit our Vehicle Shipping Tips page. Following these steps will help ensure smooth transport from Park City to your destination.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping from Park City, UT. All Sherpa Auto Transport carriers must carry a minimum of $1,000,000 in liability insurance and $100,000 in cargo insurance.

Before your Park City vehicle shipment begins, 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 insurance policy for extra protection.

This comprehensive coverage protects your vehicle throughout the entire journey from Park City’s mountain roads to your final destination. Our insurance requirements exceed industry standards, giving you peace of mind during transport.

For car shipping from Park City, UT, we recommend booking your pickup service at least 2-3 weeks in advance. This gives you the best chance to secure competitive rates and preferred pickup dates.

Park City’s mountain location means fewer carriers travel through the area compared to major highways. Booking early allows carriers to plan efficient routes and bundle your vehicle with other shipments heading in the same direction.

Peak season considerations: During ski season (December-March) and summer tourist months, book even earlier – ideally 3-4 weeks ahead. These busy periods see increased demand for car shipping services.

Last-minute bookings (less than one week) are possible but typically cost more and offer fewer scheduling options. For the smoothest experience and best value, schedule your Park City pickup 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. It costs 40-60% more than open transport but shields your vehicle from weather, dust, and road debris. This option is ideal for luxury cars, classics, or vehicles with custom paint jobs.

For Park City residents shipping everyday vehicles, open transport works great. If you’re moving a high-value car or classic vehicle, enclosed transport offers peace of mind. Both options are fully insured and reliable.

Yes, we offer door-to-door auto transport service to and from Park City, UT. This means we’ll pick up your vehicle from your home, office, or preferred location and deliver it directly to your destination address.

When you book with Sherpa Auto Transport, simply provide your pickup and delivery addresses. Our carrier will coordinate with you to schedule convenient pickup and delivery times at these locations.

Important note for Park City residents: Due to narrow mountain roads, steep driveways, or winter weather conditions common in Park City, our large transport trucks may not always reach your exact address. In these cases, we’ll arrange a safe, nearby meeting spot like a parking lot or main road intersection. This ensures your vehicle’s safety while still providing maximum convenience.

Our team will always communicate with you about any location adjustments and work to find the closest possible alternative to your preferred address.

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.
