    I would recommend calling Sherpa Auto Transport because it's an easy process. I went online, filled out what was going on, and I got a phone call from Sherpa. The rep made me comfortable to do it. It ended up being four days before I got an answer back, and the car was picked up the next day. The transport was only overnight. When they first called, they weren't in a happy mood because the rep didn't talk to the guy I had set up. I wasn't present, but I had somebody at the dealer aware of what was going on. Other than that, the driver was professional.

    The Sherpa Auto Transport rep was fabulous. We chatted on the phone, told him what we needed. He gave me a deadline of when he would get the move scheduled and he said, "If you have any questions, we'll be sending you emails." The communication, pickup, and delivery was perfect. Everything was on time. They said they would find a carrier within 5 to 10 days and it was on the eighth day they found one. They communicated they would take three or four days to get the car to us and it was here in one day. Everything was exactly how they picked it up. I would use them in a second again.

    With Sherpa Auto Transport it's one price. You're not going to pay any more and they get somebody out right away. I had one representative that I called and I had a bit of a difficult time understanding him. When somebody else called me from the phone from Sherpa, I went with a second agent. It was scheduled to take 10 days. The mover called me and said, "I know that we're scheduled for Thursday, but my truck broke down. But I'm not too far from you. I'm at the transportation hub. Do you want to pick up your car up there?" I was able to get the car early by four days, but I had to drive up to get my car instead of having it delivered to my place. Other than that, I was happy with it. It's worth paying the extra money for quality service that happens quickly.

    Sherpa Auto Transport had good reviews and the price was very competitive. Setting the transport up was simple. It was mostly online, and a follow-up phone call confirming everything. The pickup was in Buffalo, New York, and the car was delivered to Texas. Sherpa picked it up on day two of that window, and it took three days to get to me. The driver dropped it right at my house. I took a bunch of pictures because it was dark out when they got there. I wanted to make sure that there was no damage and there wasn't. The driver took a bunch of pictures too. The interaction was fine and it didn't last that long.

    I will recommend Sherpa Auto Transport. I got the car delivered as early as possible, and there is no issue with Sherpa Auto Transport. They provided a discount for the initial, and the price is matched with the other vendors as well. The price is fixed. It's good for the transport. Sherpa did not ask for a single dollar. The movers came and parked near my apartment, and it's very close to the drop location. It's easy to convey, easy to call, and call the driver, and get the car.

    I bought a car and someone else I knew had used Sherpa and was happy with what they did. Sherpa's representatives were great. I've used them multiple times. The only negative thing is, the last time, they tried to do a little bait and switch. They quoted me one price, and then when I called back with the specific dates to confirm, they said the price had magically gone up. Then, when I called them on it, they backed off. Other than that, Sherpa is competent. They may not be the cheapest thing out there, but they do a good job.

    I needed a vehicle to go from the East Coast to the West Coast. I chose Sherpa because they were recommended to me. Setting this transport up was easy. Everything was spot-on. It was very simple and direct. They gave me the prices, the dates that it would be delivered and how long it'd take to go across country. The driver was professional and very good.

    I contacted Sherpa after essentially getting ghosted by another transport company. I gave Sherpa a call based on reviews. I spoke to a real person from the get-go and subsequently each time I called. The reps were professional and thorough. I received communication and updates throughout the process. The quote I received was the price I paid. My truck was picked up in 24 hours. Though it took longer than expected to receive the truck, we were in communication with the driver as well so it all went very well.

    Weil, they are technically correct. They are entirely dishonest. They bullied me into paying for expedited two day pick up. Well, yeah, the guy came but he wouldn’t come to the house and we had to have the car moved a mile and a half away because it was “too hard“ for him to get to the car. The car was supposed to be delivered from Florida to Colorado in 3 to 4 days. It took eight days with almost no communication. Shipper claims that they fulfilled the expedited delivery because the car got picked up in two days (keep in mind not even at the house). I’ll never use them again. I find them dishonest and weasely.

    The Sherpa representative I dealt with was good. I ordered the service online, and it was easy. I received information as to when the vehicle was picked up. The driver was really kind and nice. He was tired but he delivered the vehicle and everything was fine. I wasn't there for the pickup. It was picked up at a dealership, and they're used to having large trucks pick up vehicle. We live in a rural area, so it was really easy to navigate through our neighborhood. There was very low traffic, wide road, and he had no issues. Overall, my experience was good, and I'd tell others to check them out if they needed to have a vehicle transported.

    I would highly recommend Sherpa Auto Transport. They did a great job and I intend to use them again. They were my second pick. The first pick people did not do what they promised they would do. They kept stalling. I called Sherpa and they had me a driver the next day. The move was super easy, very smooth and fast. Sherpa had a tracking type thing where I could see at all times where the car was. Also, once the car left my possession and went into the hands of the person that would receive it, they kept in contact as well. The carrier that they chose did a great job. They were on top of things. English wasn't the first language. But we were fine with it. It's a possibility that somebody might be apprehensive about that. But we communicated great and there was no language barrier between us.

    This is the first time I've done it. I understand the process now. Sherpa is the intermediary between an actual company that does the transportation and they have a national board. They list the job on there. Somebody with a higher price is going to get a faster bite on it. Sherpa was more expensive than the first place I went with, but the first place was on day six with no bites. I was more than happy to pay a bit more because I needed to get it done as soon as possible. The woman that set up the transport saved the day.

    We were moving a Kia Niro, which is an EV and it was not practical to try to drive with a 300-mile range from California to North Carolina. It was almost 3,000 miles. I looked at one other company but Sherpa had good reviews and the price seemed good. They picked up my car and got it delivered when and where they said they would. The customer service was great and very communicative. They let me know what's going on and when to expect to hear from them, and I heard from them. My daughter accepted the delivery, and she said there was no problem. My only complaint is that the inside of the driver's door looks like the driver wiped off his feet on it. It's full of dirt. The outside was also filthy. But it was nothing that a car wash couldn’t take care of. The quote was in line with what I was expecting to pay and the service was satisfactory. So, I would recommend Sherpa.

    I needed a transport service for a cross-country move for two SUVs, and I negotiated with Sherpa and was happy with the quote. It was easy to converse with the rep and he wasn’t harassing me to make a decision right then and there. We messaged back and forth. I messaged with a few other people but came back to him. The price was reasonable and we were offered both open and closed trucks. The communication with the driver during transport could have been a little better, since there was none, but we had AirTags on the car, so we knew exactly where the cars were. When they were dropped off, the driver met us right outside the complex where we live.

    I needed to ship my '95 Land Cruiser from El Paso to Central Texas. Sherpa had excellent reviews, so I decided to use them. They got excellent customer service. Their reps explained everything upfront. I didn't have any questions after that. They went through the entire process. I thought the quote might be a little bit high, but then they explained to me how their quotes work and since they are a broker, they might even go in the hole on their commission if the quote didn't work out. They quoted me 800 for 577 miles. That's about $100 a mile. So, it wasn't bad.

    The transport took overnight. The guy picked it up on Tuesday evening and delivered it early Wednesday morning. It was insanely fast. I wasn't on site during the delivery. My friend picked it up for me. I don't know what the condition of car was before it went. However, when it arrived, it was exactly the same as the pictures. So, I don't believe there was any damage. Sherpa's service is 100% worth it. I'll use them again without hesitation. My experience was nothing but wonderful. They did exactly what they were supposed to do and didn't do anything less, didn't do anything more except answer stupid questions that I might have had. I did have to unsubscribe from their marketing emails. I'm not big on getting those. I don't need to ship a car after I shipped a car.

    We’re snowbirds, and we were tired of driving two cars from Massachusetts to Florida. It’s a long haul and expensive. I searched online for auto transport companies and initially contracted with one that seemed to do what I wanted at a good price. It turned out to be a scam, but they didn’t get my car. I was flying to Florida the next day, so I needed something quickly. I contacted a friend and he said he had heard of Sherpa and that they were legitimate. I contacted them, and was confident they were okay. They were able to get my car picked up within three days. I had already left for Florida, so my sister met the driver at pickup. But it got complicated and it was another $1,300.

    The driver parked on the main road since my condo community has several sections and isn’t ideal for large carriers. He walked over to where my car was parked and drove it to the carrier. I put an AirTag in my car so I could track it, and I was able to follow its progress. The driver contacted me the day before delivery and told me he would arrive at 3:15 Sunday afternoon, and he showed up right on the dot. He was great and very personable. My sister also said he was very professional during pickup. Sherpa offered a $100 referral credit, which is standard business practice, and I might use it if a friend decides to ship a car.

    I had Sherpa transport a regular passenger vehicle. It was a Subaru Crosstrek. We had a very short timeline. We had about a week to get this done. My son was going to LA to study and I didn't know what LA was like until people told me he's gonna need a car. Not realizing it's not like New York City where you can hop a subway and figure it out. It's a little different. I had no idea. So we had a couple of days before Christmas to get the car to him, a couple of days after New Year's. So timing-wise, it was very tight. Me and my husband were ready to drive this thing out to him, which we're 40 hours in the car with each other.

    The rep was very good. The only issue that I had is that I must have had spam filters on my phone. So when he tried to call me to answer questions or finalize the quote, he would be texting me and saying, "I can't get you on the phone," because the phone would just reject the call automatically. So, I think that was the biggest problem once we were close to settling on going with Sherpa. As far as the quote, they were one of the lowest places to quote but they also came recommended by a co-worker.

    I shipped an Equinox through Sherpa. They were great and very straightforward. I was always able to get a hold of them. And extremely important to me was that they were not going to quote me $400 and then at the last minute tell me they couldn't do it for $400, and instead, it was gonna be $1,200. I read horror stories about that. I did not feel like I was being scammed with Sherpa. The quote they provided was fair as well. Everything, even the company that they hired to deliver, was great. It took them five days total, and the vehicle was the same as when it left. I would definitely use Sherpa again.

    I needed to get a car across the country. I had used Sherpa once before and had a good experience with them, so I used them again. Their quote was really the highest of the three I got, initially. I ended up recontacting two of the other quotes. Then, when I spoke with the Sherpa representative, I indicated to him that I had used their transport service in December of 2024. Some flexibility came into the negotiation regarding price. I had explained to them that their quote was the highest and that I had used them previously. They came back with a quote that was $250 less than the initial pricing.

    Their quote was still higher than the next two quotes that I got. But it came with the Sherpa's willingness to put money into coverage in the event that the transporter charged more than what I was quoted allowed me to pick Sherpa again. The original pickup point was Canton, Connecticut. The drop-off point was Goleta, California. The transport time was between four and seven days.

    Our son lives out in Las Vegas and he had a car accident, and his car wasn't worth fixing. So we took the car out of our garage, which we rarely used and sent it to him. The first company I looked at was Sherpa, and then I looked at two others. When I talked to the sales guy of Sherpa, he answered every question before I even knew I needed to know that. He gave me everything that I needed. When I called the other places, they didn't provide that amount of information.

    The quote given was fair. I debated driving the car from Michigan out to Las Vegas, but we figured, with food costs, lodging, gas and flight back, the cost was very comparable. When it came to the delivery of the vehicle, they picked it up on Thursday, and the driver dropped it off on Monday. It was pretty quick and wonderful. They were very good and considerate. Everything was perfect. I was happy.
