We can pick up your vehicle from anywhere in the United States, deliver to the port, and export your vehicle overseas.

Yes. It is important that you, or another adult that you trust, is there for pickup and delivery of your vehicle.

Sherpa Auto Transport will not take responsibility for this avoidable expense.
