Marysville, WA Car Shipping

Getting your car ready for shipping from Marysville, WA is simple but important. Start by removing all personal items from inside your vehicle – this includes toll passes, GPS devices, and any loose items that could shift during transport.

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

Make sure your car has less than a quarter tank of gas – this reduces weight and meets safety requirements. Check that your battery is charged and your tires are properly inflated.

Remove or secure exterior accessories like bike racks, spoilers, or custom antennas that could be damaged or cause damage during transport.

Have a spare key ready for the driver, and make sure someone will be available at both pickup and delivery locations.

For complete preparation details, check our Vehicle Shipping Tips guide. Following these steps will help ensure your car arrives safely at its destination.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping from Marysville, WA with Sherpa Auto Transport. We require all our carriers to maintain:

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

Before your Marysville shipment begins, we verify that your carrier’s insurance is active and valid. This protects your vehicle during loading, transport, and delivery.

For extra protection, all our contracted carriers add Sherpa as a Certificate Holder on their insurance policy. This means we can directly monitor coverage throughout your shipment.

What this means for you: Your vehicle is covered from the moment it leaves Marysville until it reaches your destination. You can ship with confidence knowing professional insurance protection is included in every quote.

For car shipping from Marysville, WA, we recommend booking your pickup service at least 2-3 weeks in advance. This gives you the best chance to secure competitive rates and reliable carriers.

Here’s why early booking matters:

• Better pricing: Carriers can plan efficient routes and bundle shipments
• More carrier options: Popular routes from Marysville fill up quickly
• Flexible scheduling: You’ll have more pickup date choices

If you need faster service, we offer expedited shipping options with as little as 3-5 days notice. However, this typically costs more than standard scheduling.

Pro tip: Book even earlier during peak seasons (summer months and holidays) when demand for car shipping from Washington state is highest.

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 travels 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, classic vehicles, or cars with custom paint jobs.

For most Marysville residents shipping standard vehicles, open transport offers excellent value. Choose enclosed transport if your car is worth over $50,000 or has sentimental value you can’t replace. 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.
