What our Oklahoma customers say about Sherpa:

Received vehicles in 3 days (unbelievable because the weather was so severe on the East Coast)."

Tips & Tricks for Saving on Vehicle Shipping
- Book early: Schedule your shipment at least two weeks in advance. This gives carriers time to optimize routes and potentially offer discounts for bundling multiple vehicles from the same area.
- Choose open transport: Open shipping offers the lowest rates and greatest flexibility for negotiating prices. While enclosed carriers are necessary for some vehicles, open transport is generally more cost-effective.
- Consider location: Work with Sherpa advisors to find pickup and dropoff points near major interstates like I-35, I-40, or I-44. This can significantly reduce fuel costs for carriers, potentially lowering your rate.
- Empty your vehicle: Remove all personal items from your car before shipping. This reduces weight and eliminates concerns about item safety during transport.
- Be flexible: Offering a range of acceptable pickup and delivery dates can help you secure better rates. Additionally, being open to various nearby locations for pickup and dropoff can lead to cost savings.
- Leverage Sherpa's expertise: Our experienced advisors understand Oklahoma's unique geography and transport routes. They can help you navigate options like avoiding busy urban areas in Oklahoma City or Tulsa, or finding optimal pickup points in smaller towns along major highways.

How does Oklahoma Car Shipping Work?
Navigating the car shipping process to or from Oklahoma doesn't have to be complicated. Follow these steps to ensure a smooth experience:
- Get an instant quote: Start by obtaining a car shipping quote from a trusted provider like Sherpa Auto Transport. You'll need to provide details about your vehicle, desired locations, and preferred shipping method.
- Book your shipment: Once you're satisfied with the quote, lock in your shipment. Sherpa offers flexible pickup and delivery windows to accommodate your schedule.
- Prepare your vehicle: Before the pickup date, wash your car, inspect for existing damage, remove personal items, and perform routine maintenance. For Oklahoma shipments, consider the state's weather patterns. During tornado season (spring and early summer), ensure all loose parts are secured or removed.
- Meet the carrier: Sherpa provides door-to-door transport. You'll meet the carrier to hand over the keys and conduct an inspection. In Oklahoma, popular pickup locations often include major cities like Oklahoma City and Tulsa.

- Climate considerations: Oklahoma experiences extreme weather, from scorching summers to icy winters. During summer, enclosed transport might be preferable to protect your vehicle from intense heat and potential hail damage.
- Rural areas: While Oklahoma has bustling cities, many areas are rural. If you're shipping to a remote location, be prepared for potential adjustments to pickup or delivery points.
- Seasonal factors: The state's agricultural industry can impact transport during harvest seasons, potentially affecting routes and timing. Plan accordingly, especially if shipping during peak periods.
By following these steps and considering Oklahoma's unique aspects, you can ensure a smooth car shipping experience. Remember, Sherpa Auto Transport is here to guide you through every step of the process, making your Oklahoma auto transport as seamless as possible.

How do I prepare my vehicle for transit to or from Oklahoma?
See our Vehicle Shipping Tips for details about how to prepare your vehicle to / from Oklahoma. In short, you’ll want to remove any toll pass or fragile items, make sure you have a key available to provide the carrier, and remove any interior and exterior accessories that could be damaged in transit.
Is my vehicle insured transporting to or from Oklahoma?
Yes, our quotes are all-inclusive. All of our carriers are required to have a minimum of $1,000,000 in liability insurance and $100,000 in cargo insurance. To ship your vehicle, we verify that the carrier’s insurance policy is valid and in good standing for the duration of your shipment.
All contracted carriers also add Sherpa as a Certificate Holder on their insurance policy.
How far out should I schedule my pickup service from Oklahoma?
The sooner, the better. We recommend at least two weeks, but it’s ideal to broadcast your shipment as soon as possible so that carriers can bundle your shipment with others in the same location.
Do you offer Door to Door Shipments?
At the time of booking your shipment, we will ask for your preferred pickup and delivery address. As long as it is possible, the assigned carrier will pick up and deliver your vehicle to the addresses you specify. Of course, if there are transportation restrictions or safety challenges the carrier will work with you to arrange an alternative location, such as a nearby gas station or parking lot.
How do I pay for my auto transport to Oklahoma?
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.

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.
Can I pack personal items inside my vehicle?
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.
Do I need to be present at both pickup and delivery?
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.
