Leesburg, VA Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for shipping from Leesburg, VA is simple but important. Here’s what you need to do:

Remove personal items: Take out all belongings, including items in the glove box, trunk, and seat pockets. Carriers are not responsible for personal items.

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

Document condition: Take photos of your car from all angles, including close-ups of any scratches or dents.

Check fluids and battery: Ensure your car has enough gas (about 1/4 tank), oil, and coolant. Make sure your battery is charged.

Remove accessories: Take off toll tags, GPS devices, bike racks, and any loose exterior items that could fall off during transport.

Disable alarms: Turn off your car alarm to prevent it from going off during shipping.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured during transport from Leesburg, VA. All Sherpa Auto Transport carriers must carry:

• $1,000,000 in liability insurance
• $100,000 in cargo insurance

Before your Leesburg vehicle shipment begins, we verify that your carrier’s insurance is active and valid. This protects your car throughout the entire journey.

For extra protection, all our carriers add Sherpa as a Certificate Holder on their insurance policy. This means we can directly confirm coverage details if needed.

Important: We recommend taking photos of your vehicle before pickup in Leesburg. This helps document your car’s condition and makes any insurance claims smoother.

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

Booking early is especially important for Leesburg customers because:

• Better carrier availability – More transport trucks travel through Northern Virginia corridors
• Lower costs – Carriers can plan efficient routes and offer better pricing
• Flexible scheduling – You’ll have more pickup window options that work with your timeline

If you need faster service, we can often arrange expedited pickup within 3-7 days, though this may cost more. During peak moving seasons (summer and early fall), book even earlier when possible.

Pro tip: Leesburg’s location near major highways I-495 and Route 7 makes it easier for carriers to access, which can work in your favor for quicker scheduling compared to more remote 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 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 vehicle inside a covered trailer. It costs 40-60% more than open transport but shields your car from weather, dust, and debris. This option is ideal for luxury cars, classics, or vehicles with custom paint jobs.

For most Leesburg residents shipping standard vehicles, open transport works perfectly fine. Choose enclosed transport if your car is worth over $50,000 or has sentimental value you can’t replace. Our detailed comparison guide can help you decide which option fits your needs and budget.
