Milwaukee, WI Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Milwaukee, WI is simple but important. First, remove all personal items from inside your car, including toll passes, electronics, and anything fragile. These items aren’t covered by insurance during transport.

Next, clean your vehicle inside and out. This helps you spot any existing damage during the pre-transport inspection. Take photos of your car from all angles as proof of its condition.

Check fluid levels and tire pressure, but keep your gas tank only 1/4 full to reduce weight. Remove or secure any loose exterior items like bike racks, spoilers, or antennas that could get damaged.

Finally, have a working key ready for the carrier and make sure your car starts and runs properly. If your vehicle has any mechanical issues, let Sherpa Auto Transport know ahead of time.

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

Before we assign your Milwaukee car shipment, we verify that your carrier’s insurance is active and valid. We also require all carriers to list Sherpa as a Certificate Holder on their policy for added protection.

This comprehensive coverage protects your vehicle throughout the entire journey from Milwaukee to your destination. You can ship with confidence knowing your car is covered by professional-grade insurance from pickup to delivery.

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

Why book early? Carriers plan routes by grouping multiple vehicles going to similar destinations. When you book ahead, your car can be bundled with others, which keeps costs down and ensures reliable service.

If you need rush shipping, we can often arrange pickup within 3-5 days, but expect higher prices and fewer carrier options. For the most flexibility and savings, book as soon as you know your moving timeline.

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 uncovered trailers that expose your car to weather and road debris. It costs less and works well for most everyday vehicles. Enclosed auto transport uses covered trailers that fully protect your car from the elements.

Enclosed transport typically costs 40-60% more than open transport. Choose enclosed if you’re shipping a luxury car, classic vehicle, or custom car from Milwaukee that needs extra protection. Most regular cars ship safely using open transport, which is why it’s the most popular option.

Yes, Sherpa Auto Transport offers door-to-door auto transport service for Milwaukee residents and those moving to the area. This service provides maximum convenience by picking up your vehicle from your home, office, or preferred location and delivering it directly to your destination address.

When you book your Milwaukee car shipping service, simply provide us with your pickup and delivery addresses. Our experienced carriers will coordinate with you to schedule pickup and delivery at these exact locations whenever possible. However, in some Milwaukee neighborhoods with narrow streets, low-hanging branches, or parking restrictions, our carrier may suggest a nearby alternative location like a shopping center or gas station for safety reasons.

Door-to-door service eliminates the need for you to drive to a terminal or depot, saving you time and hassle. This is especially valuable when shipping to or from Milwaukee’s busy downtown area or residential neighborhoods where parking can be challenging.

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.
