Factors that affect Anaheim Car Shipping Prices

  • Distance: The length of the journey from or to Anaheim affects shipping costs. Longer distances typically mean higher prices. For example, shipping a car from Anaheim to New York will cost more than shipping to nearby Los Angeles.
  • Trailer Type: Open trailers are the most common and affordable option for most customers. Enclosed trailers offer extra protection but cost about 50% more and may have longer delivery times. They're usually only necessary for high-value or classic cars.
  • Location Accessibility: Anaheim's proximity to major highways like I-5 and SR-91 makes it easier and cheaper to ship cars to and from the city. Rural areas or locations far from main routes may incur additional costs.
  • Pickup Timing: Sherpa's most cost-effective option is a five-day pickup window. Expedited services for faster pickup will increase the price.
  • Vehicle Specifications: Larger, heavier vehicles cost more to ship. Also, cars with low ground clearance may require special handling, increasing the price.
  • Vehicle Condition: Operable vehicles are cheaper to ship. Non-running cars need special equipment for loading, which adds to the cost.
  • Seasonal Factors: Summer months and January are peak seasons for auto transport, often leading to higher prices. Anaheim's mild climate means less seasonal variation compared to other regions, but national trends still apply.

Tips & Tricks for Saving on Vehicle Shipping

  • Book early: Schedule your shipment at least two weeks in advance. This allows carriers to optimize routes and potentially offer discounts for bundling vehicles from Anaheim.
  • Choose open transport: Open shipping provides the lowest rates and greatest flexibility for negotiating prices.
  • Strategic pickup/dropoff: Consult with Sherpa advisors to find locations near major interstates like I-5 or CA-91 to minimize fuel costs for carriers.
  • Empty your vehicle: Remove personal items to reduce weight and avoid potential liability issues.
  • Be flexible: Offering date flexibility for pickup and delivery can lead to better pricing options.

Anaheim, California Car Shipping FAQs

How do I prepare my vehicle for transit to or from Anaheim?

See our Vehicle Shipping Tips for details about how to prepare your vehicle to / from Anaheim. 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 Anaheim?

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 Anaheim?

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 Anaheim?

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.

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.
