Pullman, WA Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Pullman, WA is straightforward. Follow these simple steps:

Remove personal items: Take out all belongings, toll passes, and loose items from the interior. Carriers typically don’t insure personal property.

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

Check fluids and battery: Ensure your car has enough fuel (about 1/4 tank), and the battery is charged so the carrier can load and unload it.

Remove or secure accessories: Take off roof racks, bike racks, spoilers, or custom antennas that could be damaged during transit.

Document the condition: Take clear photos of your vehicle from all angles, noting any existing damage.

Provide a working key: Make sure you have a key or fob available for the driver.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured during transport from Pullman, WA. All carriers in our network must carry a minimum of $1,000,000 in liability insurance and $100,000 in cargo insurance.

Before your shipment begins, we verify that the carrier’s insurance is valid and active. We also require all carriers to add Sherpa Auto Transport as a Certificate Holder on their policy for added protection.

This coverage protects your vehicle throughout the entire journey from Pullman, giving you peace of mind during transport.

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

Here’s why early booking matters:

• Limited carrier traffic: Pullman is a smaller college town in southeastern Washington. Fewer carriers travel through this area compared to major cities.
• Better pricing: Booking early allows carriers to plan routes and combine your vehicle with other shipments, which can lower your cost.
• More flexibility: You’ll have more pickup date options and can avoid last-minute stress.

Need faster service? We can often accommodate shorter timelines, but expect to pay a premium for expedited pickup from rural areas like Pullman.

For the smoothest experience, book as soon as you know your moving dates. This is especially important during busy seasons like summer and the beginning and end of college semesters at Washington State University.

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 uses open-air trailers that carry multiple vehicles at once. Your car is exposed to weather and road debris, but it’s the most affordable and common option. Most vehicles shipped to and from Pullman, WA use open transport without any issues.

Enclosed auto transport ships your vehicle inside a covered trailer, protecting it from weather, dust, and road debris. It costs 50-60% more than open transport but offers maximum protection for high-value, classic, luxury, or custom vehicles.

Which should you choose? For most standard vehicles, open transport is perfectly safe and cost-effective. Choose enclosed transport if you’re shipping a classic car, exotic vehicle, or car with custom paint. Learn more in our open vs enclosed auto transport guide.

When you book with us, simply provide your preferred pickup and delivery addresses. Our assigned carrier will do their best to reach both locations. However, Pullman’s hilly terrain and some residential streets may have restrictions for large car carriers. If your location isn’t accessible due to narrow roads, low-hanging trees, or tight turns, don’t worry—our driver will contact you to arrange a convenient nearby meeting spot, like a shopping center parking lot or main street location.

This service saves you time and hassle compared to terminal-to-terminal shipping. You won’t need to drive to a depot or arrange extra transportation. We handle the logistics so you can focus on your move.

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.
