Edmonds, WA Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Edmonds, WA 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 center console. 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: Ensure your car has enough gas (about 1/4 tank), oil, and coolant. Make sure the battery is charged and secure.

Remove or secure loose parts: Take off custom accessories, spoilers, or bike racks that could get damaged. Secure your antenna and fold in side mirrors.

Document condition: Take photos of your car from all angles before pickup. Note any existing scratches or dents.

Provide working keys: Have a spare key ready for the driver. Make sure your car starts and runs properly.

For car shipping from Edmonds, WA, we recommend booking your pickup service at least 2-3 weeks in advance. This gives carriers enough time to plan efficient routes and bundle your vehicle with other shipments heading in the same direction.

Booking early offers several benefits:

• Better pricing: Early bookings often cost less than last-minute requests
• More carrier options: Popular routes from Edmonds fill up quickly
• Flexible scheduling: You’ll have more pickup date options to choose from

If you need faster service, we can arrange expedited shipping from Edmonds, but this typically costs more. During peak moving seasons (summer and early fall), we suggest booking even earlier – up to 4 weeks ahead – as demand for car shipping increases significantly.

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 cost-effective 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 is ideal for luxury cars, classics, or vehicles with custom paint jobs.

For most Edmonds residents shipping standard vehicles, open transport works great and saves money. Choose enclosed transport if you have a high-value car or want maximum protection. See our complete open vs enclosed guide for detailed comparisons and pricing.

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.
