We didn’t wanna rent a car in Florida. We wanted to have our car there but we didn’t wanna go by train or by car. We wanted to fly down there. So we used a transport service to move our car from New Jersey to Florida. We called Sherpa and they gave us a price. It was highly expensive but it was fair. The car came and it was in good shape. They took care of it and didn’t mess it up. Plus they met our timetable. We had set out a timetable to satisfy our need as to when we were gonna arrive and when we were gonna leave. But because of the virus, we didn’t leave Florida. Our flight was canceled. So we had to tell Sherpa we had to change the date and they were very accommodating with the whole thing. In fact, they met all of our requirements. Our experience was quite good. We were satisfied pretty much with the whole service.

I found Sherpa online, looked at the descriptions of the service, and decided to use them. This is the second time we've used them and the delivery came on time. When they delivered the vehicle, they came right to the front of the house, which was nice. The last time, we had to go up to a gas station to meet the delivery people because they couldn’t find us. It’s a pretty major street, so they should’ve been able to find it.

Sherpa showed up right at the top of a list of best car shipping things. I used them to ship my vehicle about 1000 miles. Overall, the experience was pretty smooth when I contacted them, but there was a little confusion. I set the date for the car to be available but they did not have a driver ready. I waited a couple more days and eventually, a driver was found. But I remember sending an email trying to check in because the date came and went, and I didn't get an update. I wasn't worried at any point, but I wanted to make sure things were gonna keep running smoothly. The driver was a nice guy and the car was in as good a shape as I could have hoped.

I was moving from the West Coast to the East Coast and used Sherpa to transport a 2018 Dodge Charger. I looked at a few other companies but from what I saw from the reviews, Sherpa was pretty much the better-rated company. The quote they gave was very accurate. They also answered all my questions, which relieved a lot of stress. For me, it was the hard part because I was within a week of moving. The driver was very friendly and kept me up to date all the time. The delivery took about six days in total and everything arrived in perfect condition.
Thank you for the great review, Mateusz! We know that moving can be stressful. That's why Sherpa is committed to making the process as easy as possible by staying in touch with you throughout the process and only working with highly vetted carriers. It sounds like you had an exceptional experience with your carrier - something we will certainly make note of in their file so other customers can receive equally great service. Thanks for choosing Sherpa. We look forward to assisting you again in the future!

I recently booked with another vendor (RoadRunner) They quoted $875, sent me a contract for $985, and when the finally had a carrier tried to charge me $1165. In frustration I called Sherpa Auto. They had a carrier in 2 hours and picked up 6 hrs later. The auto was delivered to my door at the scheduled time.
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review, Bill! The situation you describe in your review - a customer is told that a car can ship for far lower than the market demands - is exactly what Sherpa is committed to not doing. We promise to be upfront with our customers regarding how the auto transport process works and how our Price Lock Promise means we'll get your vehicle shipped for the amount we originally quoted. Thanks for the great review! We hope to assist you again in the future!

I looked at three companies and then chose Sherpa for their customer service and responsiveness. They were very confident and they did exactly what they said they were gonna do. Their quote was also fair. It was right in line with everybody else and then with their quality of service as well. We were moving and the transport was about 1,800 miles. It took about five days and the vehicle was fine. I was very satisfied with Sherpa.
Thank you for picking Sherpa, Deanna! It was our pleasure to guide you through the auto transport process. We pride ourselves on working hard for our customers by providing them with fair pricing backed our Price Lock Promise, frequent and courteous communication, and a trusted network of carriers. We're glad you were satisfied with your experience and we look forward to helping you again in the future!

I was giving my vehicle to my grandson and I wanted it shipped to Tennessee since none of us could leave because of the coronavirus. We looked up about 12 companies and it just came down to how they sounded on the phone. There were a couple ones that were a little pushy and I didn’t wanna go with them. Sherpa's price was good too. It was comparable to a couple of others.
I gave a few dates that I’d like for the vehicle to leave and they said that they would notify me as soon as they had someone available. It took a little while because I think the driver had to get a little more than what Sherpa was gonna give him so our price to Sherpa went down. It worked out with exactly the same price though. We did not have to pay a dollar more. Sherpa's service was fine. They were very nice and straightforward, and everything went as planned. The location is an 11-hour drive from where we were and when the man picked it up, it was in the late afternoon. He said he would be in Cookeville the next morning and he was.
It was our pleasure to guide you through the process, Winifred! Sherpa was founded to make the auto transport process easy.

1st time to use an auto shipper. I chose Sherpa because of Chris' upfront clear explanation of what is involve with shipping a vehicle. I appreciated calling the 250 broker fee instead of a deposit. The car was shipped from Denver to Oklahoma City. I did not receive clearance to ship until just after noon on Wednesday. I called Chris - he released my contract to picked up from Wednesday through the following Tuesday. This gives the best opportunity to be picked up within 5 business days. Within 36 hours it was on a truck. Sherpa negotiated with the trucking company without changing my total cost. The driver kept me up to date on his location and estimated time of arrival. When came time to me we were actually follow our truck at the arrival point. Our new vehicle was in excellent shape except for a lille road dirt. Used the free Sherpa car wash - now all is excellent. I would use Sherpa again - Thank you Chris!! PS the driver was very polite and helpful also!!
Thanks for leaving us this great review, Jerry! Shipping a car for the first time can feel daunting. We do our best to alleviate any concerns a customer might have by being courteous, honest, and communicative throughout the entire auto transport process. It's great to hear that you experienced this first hand when you worked with Chris to get your vehicle shipped. Our Clean Car Guarantee program enables customers to get their car washed after delivery - on us. We also are glad that you took advantage of this program to get your car nice and clean! Thanks for choosing Sherpa. We look forward to helping you again in the future!

As soon as I did an online search, other transport companies seemed to be stalking me. I got calls and texts, and they were a bit aggressive. But I looked online and read the reviews for Sherpa Auto Transport. My husband called them and he decided to move forward with them. We had a little hiccup with the driver but it was on our end. We were bringing my son’s car from college in California home to Ohio and he had left his car with a friend. The driver was trying to contact him but was not getting a response and his friend wasn’t answering the phone. Then eventually, we got in touch with his friend and got that worked out.

Sherpa Auto Transport had the price lock guarantee. Knowing that they'd be able to lock in a rate while I still worked to close the contract with the dealer just gave me peace of mind to go with them. On top of that, the sales agent that I worked with, without me saying anything, was able to identify that I'm a US veteran and offered a discount of $100. Sherpa also had really great reviews online. When dealing with such a high-value item, it's super important in terms of having credibility.
The person that helped coordinate and connect me with the broker who ultimately delivered the vehicle was very professional and very responsive. The AutoBox Express was phenomenal. The driver gave me his personal cellphone. Every night, he sent me text updates and me an update on what the ETA was and where he was. He even went so far as he'd send me pictures of all the cool cars he was picking up on his way. They were phenomenal. This is the first car I've ever purchased online. Buying a car you had never seen or driven was a really crazy experience. And doing it all on top of the whole COVID. But shipping it was a truly wonderful experience with Sherpa. The car showed up flawlessly and clean and they had plastic on all the high-touch areas. I would highly encourage to use their services.

I looked at all the different ads and what Sherpa offered. I was always able to get ahold of somebody over and over again without trying to get an answering machine. There were many other companies that just wouldn’t answer or so busy that they’d say to call back and then they won’t which was one of the biggest problems I had. When I signed the contract with Sherpa, they stayed right up on it the whole time, which I was very pleased with. They let me know what was going on. We couldn’t get a shipper at first, and then we talked about what we could do to speed up a shipper. Then it was an enclosed trailer that ended up shipping our vehicle, so that was great on our part.

This is the second time I've used Sherpa and they were very professional every step of the way. The quote they provided was very competitive. The cost was worth the quality we received. The delivery experience was also professional and positive. The transport took about four days and the condition of the vehicle was as expected.

I shipped a 1993 Nissan Skyline about 700 miles through Sherpa after checking three other companies. I've shipped cars before and other companies typically change their price. Sherpa guaranteed their price and so I went with them. Their quote was reasonable too and they were the cheapest among the companies I looked at. Their rep was easy to deal with as well. In the end, there was a $100 adjustment to the final price because I had a special circumstance. I didn’t have anybody present for me at the vehicle processing center so I had to do a power of attorney.
Regardless, the delivery process was easy. The driver called me up when he was ready. His truck was too big for a residential area so I met him in an open area. He down-loaded my car and waited until I inspected it. He didn't rush me. The vehicle was in the condition I shipped it in. Overall, I got good quality service from Sherpa.

Highly recommended. I tried with another company and it went South very fast. That company wasn't very informative. When I called Sherpa they were very upfront and honest. I had my vehicle delivered in 4 days which was awesome. The last company couldn't find a driver for 2 weeks. Sherpa found one in 2 days. Highly recommended.
We are sorry that you had a bad experience previously, Khoi. We know all too well how disheartening it can be when your chosen broker doesn't follow through on their promise to find you a carrier. Our owner had this difficulty when shipping his car and is the exact reason is why Sherpa was founded. We're committed to doing things differently by communicating frequently and honestly with our customers throughout the process. It can be hard to trust another company after having such a negative experience and it means a lot to us that you chose to work with us. It was our pleasure to assist you and we hope we have the chance to impress you again in the future.

I used Sherpa last summer when we moved. I had a contract in place with another company that I found online and it was lower priced but the pick-up date came and went two times, and they never performed. I found Sherpa and I liked that they had the guarantee where it says they'll pay more to make it happen. So, I got the contract with them and they performed great and did everything they said. It was a good experience.
We bought a car out-of-state, and I called them straight away because they were so great to deal with. Every other place I called left voicemails and you can't get ahold of people. You have this idea that your car is gonna get taken off on a trailer and you're not gonna have any communication with them. It's sketchy but you don’t feel that way with Sherpa. When you call them, they answer. It's the same person and it's very professional. This last time, the guy even told me they kicked in a couple of hundred bucks to make sure it got picked up on the right day. They sweeten the pot for the driver to make it happen. People should know that it's not guaranteed with most drivers that you're gonna get a timeframe or a price. I shipped three cars and Sherpa held to their pricing and timeframe all those times.

We looked Sherpa up online, looked up the ratings, and decided to go with them. We called and then we ordered the move. Then they called us to let us know when they were gonna pick the vehicle up and drop it off. However, the pick up was way later than they said. They were supposed to be there in the morning but didn’t get there until late that night. My son was waiting, but it was fine. They picked the vehicle up and got it here when they said they were gonna get it here, which was awesome. I would use them again and I would recommend them.

Our Experience with Sherpa Auto Transport was highly successful. They reached out to us in advance by phone and text to give us an approximate time of both pick up and delivery.

We used Sherpa Auto Transport last August to transport my daughter's car to college and I had done the extensive research back then. When it came time for bringing her car back, we weren't planning on using them because we were gonna drive it back ourselves. We were also hesitant to hire them again because our last experience with them was bad. Sherpa is a broker and the other company that they hired was not good, neither was the driver. I complained to them about it and they gave us a credit for it.
But with the pandemic, we had to ship the car back and we needed to do something quickly. So, I went back to Sherpa because I felt that was a good option. I knew them and they had the best results when I researched them. When I called them, I reminded them of our last experience and they said that it was all noted there. They said that we would not have that driver ever again and that they didn't use his company anymore. They also said that they put us on the priority, a higher rated driver only list.
This time, the driver that they used was excellent, kept us informed all the way, and did exactly as he said he was going to do. When the car arrived, it was dirty. It was an open carrier, so it was expected. But Sherpa provides a free carwash. We didn't get it because of the pandemic but they said that we could get a carwash and it would be on them. They told us to just submit the receipt and they'd send us the money back. Other than that, our experience with Sherpa per se has always been a positive one. Their reps were very helpful and very courteous.

Sherpa's price doesn't fluctuate based on the eventual commission given to the driver. You pay a flat fee up front, they take it, and you're done with it. It was a lot easier to go with them. Plus, they have higher reviews. The first guy I talked to would've been in direct contact with the dispatchers. He was quite good at going over what the commission process was like and getting it started.
After that, I spoke with the driver and he was very willing to kinda meet our schedule and our availability. He was a really friendly guy too. In the middle of the shipment, there wasn't a lot of communication, but we weren't really asking any questions. There were a few emails, but they were the meet-your-driver kind of informational things. The day before he arrived at the destination, he sent a text that said that he was gonna be here tomorrow at 3:00. We shipped the vehicle from Denver to Tampa, and it took them roughly four days, which was a very reasonable time.
We pride ourselves on working hard for our customers by providing them with fair pricing backed by our Price Lock Promise, frequent and courteous communication, and a trusted network of carriers. Based on your review of your experience you experienced all of these things first hand when we worked together! Thank you for choosing Sherpa Auto Transport, James!

This is the first time I’ve ever used a transport service and I had no idea how the whole business worked. So, I went on the internet and tried to get a company that had many reviews, which was the big thing because you have a lot of fly-by-night companies. It seemed like Sherpa does a lot of volume of work. So, I felt comfortable with that many people using them and having a very small amount of complaints. They got a large amount of go-to people that did the work which made me go with them. Getting everything started with Sherpa was very quick, precise and easy. Then, at the end of the day, it worked out great because everything as they said was good. They delivered and I’d use them again.

I had taken the Camry from Wisconsin to Florida. And then, when the Coronavirus appeared, I did not want to drive from Florida back to Wisconsin. I wanted to have my car transported. I looked online and saw the services with the best ratings and Sherpa was among them. I looked at four companies. I have several friends who went with other companies that they had gone with before. But for some reason, I felt comfortable with Sherpa, and the transport I received certainly indicated that I was wise in going with them. It was professionally done. I would do it again.
The quote was right in there with the other quotes. I wasn't looking for the lowest price and it wasn't, but it was certainly within a good price range and the service was excellent. It was straightforward and the interaction with customer service was also excellent. When I called, I received a callback very quickly. I was very pleased. I was told that the car would be in Wisconsin within three days. I came back to Wisconsin in a private plane with friends and arrived in the afternoon. I then received a call early evening and the car was here. I was the first one off the truck and the car was in wonderful shape. The gentleman did not speak English very well, but we communicated nicely.

We've moved around a few times and I've got like five cars. Every time we go somewhere, I gotta ship them. Also, my hobby is cars and I ship classics now and then. I shipped three cars with another carrier and two of them came in scratched up and there was no communication. I was supposed to have at least a day before they got here. They called me an hour ahead, on a Sunday, and said we gotta have cash. It was a battle the whole day and that was just when they got here. They couldn't coordinate when they were gonna pick it up.
I've shipped a lot of cars and Sherpa is probably the best company I've ever worked with. Normally it's a battle but with these guys, it was a pleasure. They're probably a little bit higher than others but it's worth the money. They set the price they promise it and then they stand by it. They pick their drivers and they've done a great job. Communication is probably the best part and they were right on it all the time. As soon as you set it up, they keep in touch and they let you know the status of what's going on and when. The follow-up was awesome and the professionalism was pleasantly surprising.
Also, I told them we live in a hard place to get to for a big truck and I said I would meet them somewhere. But they said they would bring it right to my house and they did. They trailered it on a smaller trailer and brought it right up to the house. It couldn't get any better. They did an excellent job and I intend on using them for everything. I have another car to ship and I'm gonna use them again in another week or two.

Arranging a transport with Sherpa was very simple. They followed up quickly, gave me a quote right away, and found someone within 24 hours.

There was a website that took me to the top five rated transport services and it kinda gave their pros and cons, the things that they’re really good at. I determined that Sherpa was gonna be what best suited our needs based on the fact that they could give a pretty precise window of pick-up versus some of the other companies. I called a couple of other people as well and we got quotes. I don’t think Sherpa Auto Transport had the lowest price but we were most comfortable with them and they were very reasonable in terms of price.
We were going from Atlanta to New Jersey. One thing that I appreciated about Sherpa was that you give them your dates, they tell you if that window works, and you pay them so much upfront as soon as your driver is assigned and the rest goes to the driver. But they have a policy where if they can’t get a driver assigned, and you’re kind of in the middle or near the end of your window, they will take what you’re supposed to pay to them and start pushing that towards the driver side to incentivize somebody to want to take the route, which ended up happening to us.
The timing with the original driver who was going to take our shipment wasn’t gonna work for us. They called and said the driver could be there in an hour, which would leave us little time to prepare. Sherpa shifted some of the money and we were able to get a driver who could pick us up and work with us on the time and it was great.
Leading right up to the process, Sherpa was in touch with me via e-mail and phone, trying to get us taken care of. And then once the driver was assigned, the driver reached out directly and we had direct communication the entire time. The driver said they would call the morning it was supposed to be delivered so we could figure out the exact times and delivery method and that was exactly what happened. The driver came right when he said he was gonna come, met me right where he said he was gonna meet me, and they were able to drop off the car. It really worked out.

We had to get my daughter's VW Jetta back here to our house from college 'cause of the COVID thing. The rep from Sherpa was excellent. We had done transports before and she was so good at explaining everything very carefully. It was the best one I ever had. The quote was a little hard than I wanted, but they gave me a rebate for student and military, so that helped. They also gave us a price guarantee. It was 2,000 miles from San Diego to Illinois and the whole transport was a five-day thing. They brought it to the neighborhood and my husband went out to get it. It was easy. It took him 30 seconds to go out there and get it. The courier driver was nice and the car was in perfect condition. I'm planning to use them again in August.

Sherpa told me the guarantees and if there was a difference in price, they would take care of it, which kinda made up my mind to go with them. I talked to different people because it took me a while to finally get things taken care of, but not because of Sherpa. It was on my part. However, when I called a week or so later, everybody was on the same page somehow and picked up where the other person left off. I guess they were taking good notes. Also, the time frame they gave was perfect and I got the vehicle in with no problems.

I already hired another company and they said that they would have my car shipped by a certain date.

I called one other place and that was nice too. They were in one of the top things, but I didn't feel like they were gonna produce what we needed. Then I called Sherpa and they got me a transport really quickly. They actually delivered my car the day that the original company was supposed to deliver it so I was very pleased.
Here's the thing, these places wait for someone to pick up your vehicle. My vehicle wasn't getting a pickup. A trucker wasn't looking to pick my vehicle up. This particular trucking company had someone cancel. The driver decided to pick mine up because someone canceled and he wanted to have a full load. I thought they were very good, friendly, and I just felt comfortable with them. The people were excellent in explaining things, offered me $100 for rebates, and made things really simple.

I have a ’66 Cadillac so I had a classic car that I was shipping and normally ship enclosed. I just went online and looked up as many different websites to ship when I do it. I ship at least one car a year for the past five years, and I had seen Sherpa's reviews for a while. I’ve also seen their ads for a while that’s why I went with them. I always read customer reviews and they had great ones.
They were fast. I was trying to get out of L.A. to get my car shipped to Ohio. The dispatcher, the gentleman who definitely seemed a bit younger than me, was super helpful. He never left me on my own. If I couldn’t get in contact with the driver by myself, they were there to follow up and then the driver would immediately call me back. The drivers had good communication as well so the drivers that they work with were pretty good. There was a delay, but that was obviously because of the beginning of this outbreak, but Sherpa and the people that they hired who did the transport also did great. I had a great overall experience. I'm really satisfied.

I had to move my BMW SUV to California because I got a new job over there. I called another place and I read reviews on the websites. I decided to pick the one that had the least negative reviews. The quotes vary depending on when you call and whom they call to get the trucking company. The first time I called Sherpa, the quote was 1,250, and then I called them again a few weeks later, it was 1,150. I guess it goes by availability and demand for this type of service so I thought it was competitive. I was pleased with the customer service as well. I had to send them emails and then they would call me back. When I called up to see where my car was, the customer service was able to contact the trucking company to give me information about where my car was so it was really good. That was like almost immediate feedback and follow-up on their behalf. I’d give them an A-plus for that because I did not have to chase them.
The car was dirty upon arrival. The driver told me he had to go through some snowstorm in Wyoming. I took the car to the carwash and it was perfect afterward. With 2,000 miles on an open carrier going through most of the United States, I wasn’t disappointed. Maybe I would like it to be a little cleaner, but I understand the dynamics, so I was okay. Overall, I had a positive experience.

I went through a lot of auto moving companies online trying to verify and make sure that they were affiliated with the Better Business Bureau. I found some. I had a lot of emails and phone calls for a long time after I made my selection. My selection was not based on price, but I based it on the fact that the company was very qualified to do the move for me. It was a big deal because it was a special car to me. I opted to go with Sherpa.
The fact that Sherpa paid to be with ConsumerAffairs was part of the selling for me. I had one gentleman who said, "We don't need them." They didn't need the rating. I told him that just for his attitude, I was not gonna choose their company and thanked him for his time. It was a simple yes or no question on whether they were rated. He didn't need to bash them.
Sherpa did a great job. They sent videos of the car as did I before it left my home. They came right to my house, picked up the car in my neighborhood, and shipped it all the way to Oregon from Indiana. Everything was on time and the car was in great shape. My 23-year old son was very impressed with the whole process and he took care of it there on that end. I would recommend Sherpa if I were asked. It was about $300 more than some of the other ones. But a lot of times, companies just call drivers and I just didn't want anybody. I wanted somebody that consistently transported with the company.

They said they were gonna pick up my vehicle on a Wednesday and Wednesday came and went. The Thursday after, I called them and it took five times to call their lady. When she picked up, she was very nasty. That company was feeding me all types of BS. Sherpa was kind enough to reschedule the delivery with somebody else.
The quote I got was cheaper than the final pricing. Also, their transport crew and I met up at the location we were supposed to me at. I was in a rush at the time 'cause I work overnight. Still, the driver was very professional and the lady who was calling all the shots with whom I was speaking to was extremely nice.

My daughter needed to bring her car to Florida for the Disney College Program. We were looking at Montway and I felt they were giving me the runaround. But Sherpa was number two on the list of the top five and I called them because I found Montway not being very accommodating. They couldn't guarantee that my daughter's car was gonna be there when I needed it there. And for them to pick it up, they wanted an extra $400. I also ended up looking at reviews and Montway got some nasty ones.
Sherpa pretty much gave me the quote the first night I talked to them, but they kept the deliveries very close to the vest. We kept getting closer and closer to my date that I felt was the drop-dead date to pick up, but the guy was very reassuring. He kept saying not to worry and that they were working on it. He said that it takes them time to do things and that they haven't secured a driver yet, but we were not being left hanging. But he wasn't sarcastic, relaxed, or used any sort of condescending tone.
Still, I was getting nervous because I wanted everything to happen the way it did. But the guy we dealt with was really good. His name was John from Christian Auto and he kept us in the loop the whole time as far as when his driver was gonna be picking up the vehicle on Thursday morning. He called us the night before saying that the driver was gonna be picking it up around 7:30 and he was 15 minutes early the next day. Then he put the car on, took his pictures, and left. My daughter and wife arrived on Saturday night and he was there at seven o'clock that Sunday morning. The car arrived dirty, but that was a by-product of the trip. No big deal. Everybody was happy and my wife and daughter did what they needed to do. I was very impressed and happy with Sherpa. They did what they had to do.
In fact, I should've called them again. The Disney College Program was canceled due to the virus, so I'm leaving for Florida tomorrow to drive the car back myself and I really don't wanna drive it back myself. But all of this happened on Saturday and we had to make it happen because my daughter has to be physically off the property tomorrow.

I couldn’t get the carrier to commit to a time and out of desperation, I went online and started looking at the reviews of car carriers. Sherpa came up with a high rating, so I called them, and they were awesome. They were straightforward and honest.
They were upfront with the costs and they told me everything right down the line. They were also willing to work with me on the timeline that would work for me. I asked them about my concerns of the car being just there and me not supervising it and they said it wasn't a problem as long as I had the paperwork with it. I booked the service and being a contractor, they had somebody else come out and get it. The guy lived in the area, stayed in contact with me and he was out to the other end of the country a day earlier than what they had estimated. They contacted me ahead of time too.

My other daughter’s fiancé's parents moved to Florida and they used a different transport and it was a very negative experience. So, that was a heads up to really do some research. Sometimes, cheaper is not better. You want reputable.
On the other hand, Sherpa had the Better Business Bureau recommendation and has been in business for a long time. Their customer representative was awesome. Victor was the driver. He was really good and so nice. My daughter actually broke her foot. Victor went out of his way to bring the car to her. The car arrived sooner than we expected. We had an excellent experience. Sherpa was awesome.
Mary, the situation you describe in your review - a customer is told that a car can ship for far lower than the market demands and then ends up negotiating with the carrier upon delivery - is exactly what Sherpa is committed to not doing. We promise to always be upfront about how our pricing is calculated. That’s why we’re proud to offer our Price Lock Promise, a commitment that your car will be delivered for the price we quoted, even if we have to dig into our own pockets to make that happen.
It was great to hear that you had a great experience working with Victor. We will be sure to add this to his file as we consider him for future transports. Thank you!

Sherpa called this morning and has taken care of the EZ pass lane violation. It was a quick response. Thank you to Sherpa.
Original Review: March 10, 2020
I hired and paid Sherpa to transport my vehicle from California to Massachusetts. The car was transported and delivered. But: I just received a Notice of Violation from New York City Thruway $$. The driver went through an E-Z lane without paying the toll, I called Sherpa who wants me to call New York Thruway. I called the New York Thruway who wants me to call Sherpa. I'm going in circles all at the lack of responsibility of Sherpa.
Wendy, thank you for taking the time to leave a review of your experience. We apologize for the confusion surrounding your EZ pass. Due to the nature of the automated toll road systems, if your device is left in your car as it is transported, you will incur toll fees as if you were driving the vehicle. We do our best to alert customers to take this step and are happy that we were able to resolve this issue for you.
When you choose Sherpa Auto Transport, you're picking a company that is passionate about providing a better auto transport experience. From the first phone call to any post-delivery questions, Sherpa Auto Transport promises to be with you every step of the way.

I was going with another company but Sherpa made promises that they could pick up, deliver and do that. They then quoted a price that they thought was reasonable to get the vehicle moved, but they did not follow through. I contacted Sherpa and the gentleman I spoke to on the first time said that the number that was given to me was unrealistic for someone to pick it up. And so, he then quoted a price and guaranteed it, that if it was more or less then they would honor it, which they did. They saw that the vehicle was picked up within the timeframe. The driver was very nice and courteous, and he kept me informed. He got hit in a snowstorm down in Kansas City and he was ahead of time, but mother nature took care of that.
And then they also picked up a car out in California three months later. I was concerned about having an enclosed trailer because of the weather, but that worked out well. They followed up with their carwash and their guarantee, and they were very responsive and true to what they said. The quote that they gave me was stronger than the other but it was accurate. Also, my son in Denver was buying a car out of Dallas or Houston, and he used Sherpa a month ago. His experience was similar to mine. Overall, this company has been very good.

The vehicle went perfectly. I’m having a little problem, however, with the door lock. It is like they tried to jam it with another key. But, other than that, the delivery came and everything was fine with it. Our interactions with them went very well, and the fellow accommodated us. The truck was too big to deliver it in front of the home, so we went to a nearby parking lot. It was about nine o’clock at night, and it all went very smoothly.

I needed two vehicles shipped across the country and I read some reviews from people. I went through and looked at a few different companies, and Sherpa Auto had the best customer satisfaction that I saw. That made me feel a little more comfortable. They were all good too. I didn’t have any issues with anybody. They delivered the cars on time and they were both fine. We had one little hiccup at the end though. The cars were supposed to be delivered to a residence, but because of the way the roads were, they couldn’t deliver to that residence.
At the last minute, the cars were received by a family member because we weren’t there yet. I felt bad for my family member because they had to drive 15 minutes away to go get the cars and make arrangements. They were inconvenienced but that couldn’t have been prevented. Once we moved here, even I realized why Sherpa Auto had changed the plan. Other than that, my experience with them was good. They said they were gonna deliver them on a certain day and the driver was great. He kept us updated. He told us when he was gonna have the car there and the time frame, and he was accurate.

He also warned me about the upcharges and he told me they don’t do that, just flat fee and no more charges. I would tell my friends to go with Sherpa because everything went well.

I sent about seven emails to the different transporters and Sherpa and a few others answered. With the way everyone presented themselves, I didn’t feel too positive with them. But Sherpa was okay so I stuck with them. I shipped my vehicle from St. Louis up to Wisconsin via Tomah, Fort McCoy. Every question I had or if there was something that changed, I got an email or a phone call back. The driver kept in touch with me. He told me when he picked it up, when he was gonna be in the area and if there were some delays. The delivery was perfect. They brought the vehicle almost to the doorstep of my house. If I had to do this again, I’m more likely gonna call them.

I was moving out to the LA area and I wanted to choose the most reliable. Sherpa seemed to do the trick and Taylor was the best representative to me. I liked how easily accessible they were. They would get back to me, and what they said was gonna happen as the process unfolded was exactly what happened. It was very safe and reliable, so I would definitely recommend it. It was a coast to coast move and they said it would probably be a week without a car, but the car got there the same night as I landed.

We were moving and needed to have our car shipped. I saw a couple of shippers and both have really good reviews, but the prices at Sherpa were a little bit better, so I went with them and turned out to be great. They scheduled a pickup and our schedule had changed. So I needed to change the date, and they were accommodating and were easy to work with. I had a specific person I initiated with, but I ended up working with a couple of different people. But they were flexible about getting me a different carrier that could get the car when we needed it. And it did not change the price. The delivery depends on the driver. It was very fast and pretty simple. There's nothing that I think they could’ve done better. They did what I needed them to do and seemed to do it pretty efficiently.

Sherpa brokered a great vehicle transportation process for me in shipping my vehicle from Phoenix, AZ to Chapel Hill, NC. The pick up process was easy and delivery actually occurred two days early. They include a $100 rebate once your vehicle is delivered, along with a free car wash. Once they give you a quote, your price will not change. You just need to be flexible on pick up and delivery and have your vehicle ready to go - when they called me, the driver was in my area within 30 minutes. Delivery was ahead of schedule so again, flexibility on consumer's part is key. Overall, Very Satisfied.

Vehicle arrived in three and a half days, I mean three and a half days!! Talk about customer service and in exactly the same condition it was shipped in.

I needed a transport service to get my small SUV to Florida. It was 1100 miles total transport. I got 50 calls and went with Sherpa because they were rated highly on the internet. There wasn't any negative feedback. When I spoke to the people on the phone, they seemed professional. They assured me everything would go smoothly. They were friendly and very polite. It was first time that I had a car transported to Florida, so I was leery about who was gonna show up, when they were gonna show up and if they were gonna show up. But they assured me everything would be all right. Afterwards, up until the final period when I was getting ready to leave that week before I was getting ready to fly out, nobody had called out to pick up the contract to transport. So, I was really worried. They increased the price for the transport company to get more bids in. It was money out of their pocket to pay for the extra money, the extra incentive.
We have a townhouse development and the driver backed the tandem trailer back to our development 'cause he didn't wanna pull in head first. He was an amazing and very polite driver. The car was clean upon arrival and the quote was very accurate. They had a price guarantee. I was very pleased. When I head back north, I wanna call Sherpa back up.

The rep was a young dude, but he was very knowledgeable and explained everything in detail. I didn’t have to ask that many questions because he explained everything very well the first time. He gave me what I wanted. He assured me that he would have someone by Friday and he came through. The quote I was given was reasonable and right on target. After I made a deposit, all I had to do was pay the difference to the driver when the car got there. And he didn’t try to rip me off. I would rather have had the truck closed because it's a very expensive car, but at that time, I had to go with what they could get me. But the car came back okay and it wasn’t even that dirty.

They told me the car was gonna be going through all types of weather. It was extremely clean when we put it on the truck and when my brother picked it up, he thought it was brown even though it was white. But that was no fault of theirs. It was an open trailer and they can't help road debris. He was a little scared at first because it was covered with that road debris. But if there were any rock chips, it would've been minor because the car really seemed okay. They also got the car there a little ahead of schedule even though there was snow. Moreover, the final price was spot-on. It was no more or no less than what we were quoted. One day, we're gonna ship my dad's truck back down here to me and when we do, we'll call Sherpa.

I wanted to ship my car across the country. The other person I was going to go with didn't get back to me right away. I was a little annoyed. So, I did my research online. I wanted to see which company had a pretty good rating, and I chose Sherpa. They had a pretty good rating, but I really wasn't trying to pay another $100 more than what the other person I was gonna go with decided to quote me. I was told I was gonna get a $100 rebate with Sherpa so it'll be the same price. I'm still waiting for my refund. I'm a little disappointed about that. I mailed in the voucher and everything that I was supposed to mail in going on a month ago now. Sherpa is on the East Coast, and I'm on the East Coast. So, I don't know why it's taking so long to process that, but I feel like I'm kinda misled.
As far as everything else, I didn't have to wait a long time. The transport was in a couple days from what they told me. I myself had a problem where I had to hold the guy up for a day because the person that had my car was on some BS where he tried to hold on to my car and not follow through with the transport because his car broke down. So, I was appreciative that the guy was cool, and he did end up doing it. We ended getting the car the next day. And all in all, I didn't have a problem with the actual transport. It's all about the rebate that I'm mad right now. I contacted them about that, and all they could tell me was that it's now in the hands of a third party who are the ones that do the reimbursement. I had to call twice. I called within the week. They said that it had just gotten processed which means that it could take 30 days from the time that they processed it.

I went with Sherpa because they had the guaranteed lock on the price. It wasn't gonna change. I didn't wanna have any last-minute problems of being more money. When they called me, they were very proactive and told me everything that was gonna be happening, and kept in touch with me.

Everything went according to plan. I thought, "Oh, my God, there's probably gonna be something wrong with my car," but nothing did. Everything was in perfect condition. They had trouble finding a driver, and they said, "Okay, we can't find a driver so we're just gonna offer him the full amount." They made nothing on it to get me a driver. So they made zero dollars. They paid the driver the whole $1,050. They went over-the-top. And they were so super friendly and did their job.

I probably would have gone with some of the others if it had been that much more, but I had somebody else quote a little bit less, but it was also unreliable.
The rep of Sherpa was super cool. He was nice and easy to talk to and didn't sound crazy bored. He cared, and he went out of his way to make sure I knew some of the important details that were critical to me and my little excursion. Transparency is important, and it also helped greatly that he explained the process from start to finish. I never felt like I had to call back to ask how something was gonna work. Explaining the process was the best part.
I told them when we were gonna be there, and they were there two days earlier and that sucked. It is what it is, and they have to plan for some extra days. But this was one of those situations where he just happened to be able to blow on through, but I wish it didn't mean that I needed to make other arrangements. The arrangements were done for me mostly, but then I ended up paying via PayPal to a personal account. It was just a weird situation. But ultimately, everybody worked with me and made it happen.

He parked on a bigger street, not on our residential street because the car carrier would not fit on our street, and we drove the car out there, which was a couple hundred feet. He loaded the car up and he was very nice and personable. The car arrived in Colorado 3 days later which was still within the time quoted and my daughter received it.

My mom speaks Spanish and they were able to get a hold of a Spanish representative, which was kind of them. Also, if I left them a voicemail, they would get back to me even on Sundays and it was cool that they work on Sundays. Compared to the other shipping companies, their quote was a little bit more on the expensive side, but it didn’t bug me ‘cause, in a way, it guaranteed a safe travel for my car. They have a good reputation and I didn’t mind paying for it.
They picked up the car 3 or 4 days before the expected pick up date and they also dropped it off 3 or 4 days earlier, which wasn’t bad. The delivery driver was in a hurry to get somewhere, so he dropped it off on my work time. I had to get out of work and get an extra break, but it was cool ‘cause my car has an issue that if I don’t use it every day, it won’t turn on and I have to recharge it.

The experience was amazing. We shipped the vehicle for about 2600 miles from Kentucky all the way to Washington State and we looked at five companies. But just from talking to the representative of Sherpa, we decided to go with them. These guys sound very professional. They gave us the quotes and it was exactly that much money -- no more, no less. However, we didn't know if it was gonna be cash or check. It would have been super awesome to know that ahead of time because when we got here, we didn't have anything. We had to call a couple of people to pull out the money.
Nonetheless, we were very comfortable working with Sherpa. The rep was very knowledgeable. Whenever we had questions, we would call and the questions would be answered immediately. There were no doubts about anything. It was very straightforward. The driver was very respectful too. He always called us and gave us updates and text messages. Even Sherpa itself sent us an email whenever we needed to call.

We are so very pleased with the transport of our son's truck from Virginia to Louisiana. After waiting on another company for a complete month, we made contact with Sherpa on a Tuesday afternoon, had the entire process explained to us in great detail, quoted a price, and confirmed later that night that we would use Sherpa. Wednesday, Sherpa contacted us that they had a driver, that driver picked up the truck on Thursday night, and it was in Louisiana at noon on Saturday! Sherpa did in 5 days what the other company couldn't get done in a month!
Everyone from the initial contact at Sherpa to the driver for NOD Transportation was professional and very helpful. I wish I could remember the guy's name at Sherpa we dealt with because he was so helpful. We watched the driver unload and reload his carrier with several cars and our son's truck. He was nothing but careful and very meticulous about the whole process. I don't think he understood a lot of English but we got along and he always had a smile on his face. Thank you SO MUCH for getting our truck to our son! Now he does not have to walk everyday 45 minutes to and from work. If needed, we will use Sherpa again! Thank you! The **.

The coordination from Sherpa was fantastic. It was for a relocation and I looked at three companies before selecting Sherpa. I chose them for their professionalism. Dealing with them was simply great and very seamless. Things were perfectly understood. Also, the consultant provided amazing help. The quota was a little on the high-end but it was just a fact. I was okay with it. It was quite accurate too, and the delivery was perfect. It was a fantastic experience overall.
Thanks for taking the time to leave us this great review!

I wanted to move a 30-year-old little sports car from my home in New Mexico to my second home in Arizona and I didn’t wanna drive it that far. I went online and picked a company of them and found out that the minute you go online for anything to do with auto-transport, you get contacted by dozens of companies. Sherpa's quote was a little higher than most of the others. I tried to get the best deal I could get and I ended up getting a deal with a $100 gift card. With the gift card, they were still 20% higher than most of the rest, but they got good reviews, which was why I went with them. Because it’s obviously a cutthroat business. Their IT person really needs some work to do though. I kept getting notices of the same message over and over. And I was figuring out why I could not reply. However, the delivery guy was where he was supposed to be, both picking up and dropping off.

I researched 16 companies in depth and I did a lot of talking. My husband and I narrowed the list down to a few that we talked to even further, and some of it was because they had good Better Business Bureau ratings. We picked Sherpa and they were excellent. We spoke with Chris and the only thing that frustrated me was that he said if we called back, there wasn’t a direct line to talk to him, and so I felt a bit shaky about, “Oh, no. If something is not right, we’re gonna talk to somebody who wasn’t in on the ground deal.” But it really didn’t matter as it didn’t matter who we talked to and they knew what they were doing.
I liked the fact that Chris offered upfront to give us the DOT number and the phone number for the driver ‘cause my husband does transportation claims for a living, and that was really important to him. We got the motor carrier number and got all of that the minute they found somebody. Then we had it shipped later than we wanted because it was extra money right around the holidays. They were gonna charge more because truckers were charging more. So, we got it as soon as that was over. But he just gave us a high level of confidence. In giving all of that information upfront, we felt like if we wanted to call the driver and say, “Where are you?” We could.
We wanted them to pick up the car on a Monday, and they didn’t have a driver yet and we were really nervous about that. But Tuesday, they called and they had one. And the driver was really courteous and careful. Then, we were all here when the car got here, and it was ZAZA Transport that transported it. Sherpa did exactly what we wanted to in the exact time frame and everything went really well. We’ve never done this before, so we were a little bit wondering, “Are we doing the right thing?” And they did great. We really liked them, and I would trust them again. I would even refer them.

I was moving and I looked up five companies to ship my Honda Elantra. I liked that Sherpa would contact me constantly, but the other companies didn't respond to me quickly. So I thought that maybe if there would be any problem, I can contact Sherpa and they would respond to me as soon as possible. I could talk to anyone so easily and quickly.
The quote was a little higher than other companies, but I didn't mind because Sherpa's service was as good as the price. The transport took only four days. It was faster than I thought and it was a great experience. They used a big truck and it couldn't come to my new place, so I had to walk to a little bigger road. The driver was good. The car was dirty but it was in good condition. Then when I did my car wash, the guys reimbursed it. It was very small but it was a very detailed and thoughtful service. Sherpa made my work easy. Everything was so simple and they answered all my questions. If I had to transfer my car again, I would use them.
Thanks for the great review! It means a lot that you chose us to work with us after thoroughly researching the many options available in the marketplace.

I bought an SUV out of state and I wanted it transferred to my house. I liked Sherpa's price, and when I called, the person I dealt with seemed professional, and I had a good impression with the company. I got four quotes, and Sherpa was the second-lowest. It was a good quote. It took about 12 hours for them to deliver my SUV. They said it would probably be delivered the same day. The driver didn’t get here until like 10 o’clock at night, but it was still the same day. It wasn’t a big deal. The car was perfect. I didn’t see any changes at all. The driver was very nice, too. I paid him in cash, and I accidentally gave him an extra $100 bill, and he counted and returned it to me. And that was nice to see these days.

They actually surprised us and were able to drop it off right in front of our house. We didn’t even have to go get the car. It was fantastic. Overall, their communication is better than anybody else’s and they stick to the budget. The cost was exactly to the penny what they said it would be.

I needed to transport a car in a short time frame from Massachusetts to Arizona. Sherpa was chosen because of their positive reviews and after searching several sites that rated the company very high. Within a day of contacting Sherpa, their very helpful, customer service-oriented staff contacted me indicating the vehicle would be picked up the next day by a carrier. When I had a problem with the carrier (which was out of the control of Sherpa), I immediately emailed Sherpa and explained the problem. They had a new carrier lined up within hours, in fact, that carrier was at my house three hours after the carrier accepted the transport. The carrier delivered the vehicle sooner than I anticipated. I cannot say enough about the excellent customer service I received and a highly positive experience Sherpa provided!

I had called another company to get a preliminary quote on shipping, and it was more than what Sherpa had quoted me. I'm in South Carolina and the gentleman I spoke to who was stationed in North Carolina seemed very genuine and sincere, and that made me trust him. And then, I also got some more reviews online and I've seen many good experiences with Sherpa. The gentleman called me back, and we talked. The first company that I called kept trying to push me to make a decision or to do something. I felt like the Sherpa contact did not rush me, did not put any pressure on me, and he said, "Look, here's how we do things. These are the facts."
I had my car transported about 700 miles. Everything fell in the timeline. They were supposed to pick it up on a Monday morning, but the independent driver called me at night on Sunday and I said, "Hey, if you wanna pick it up tonight, that's fine too," which worked out so much better for me because I was home at night until I could take care of everything. But Monday, I would've been at work, so it would've fell on my kids or my wife. So, I was pleased that they were able to come earlier than expected.
But still, I was expecting them to be the next day. And he delivered the product. It's kinda random who you get, but the guy that did my transporting was very nice and a sweet guy. And my mom who received the car felt the same way that he was very nice and he was in contact through the whole way. Sherpa said that they do these recommendations and feedback to make sure that their drivers that they use are nice or good. They did an excellent job. They gave me the paperwork. They emailed us.

I shipped a car to my son on Cannon Air Force Base. It was a military transport, so it was a fairly quick move. Shane whom I spoke with did a great job as far as explaining the step by step and what to expect and how to expect it.

I took pictures. We signed the bill while waiting. We spoke about his timeline and he was about accurate. We both knew a little bit of what was involved as far as transporting the car from here to Mexico. And then he was ready to drop the car off.
He reached out to my son. Same thing, he was quick and efficient like when I met him to drop the car off. He was ready to drop the car and he didn’t have to move or adjust anything. Same thing, he took pictures, took pictures of the billing and signed off and delivered the car. They picked up on the 11th and they dropped off on the 17th. They told me I was gonna get a $100 rebate if I sent them all my billing and inspection report, but I didn’t receive that yet.

Normally, I make the drive myself but I wanted to test it and see what the experience would be like, to have it delivered for me so I could fly to that location. I looked at around 15-20 transport companies and I went with Sherpa because firstly, I liked the way they presented themselves when I first called. They outlined everything, the charges and the procedure and so on. Secondly, they were recommended to me by my son, who had used that same service earlier in the year for another vehicle that was being transported to his home.
They were very clear about all the details that was involved in the planning, and they were very good about notifying me via email when they had located a driver, and all the details regarding that driver. The driver was very accommodating, constantly in contact with me. It was a very positive experience with Sherpa. There were several quotes that were less, but Sherpa was also less and they would provide you with a refund at the end if it was off.

We needed to relocate a car to a place where we had a garage to keep it. I did quite a bit of research. This transport business is full of people who are difficult to work with because people do not give you the straight information about what is going on and how things are charged and how things are organized. So, I called several companies, and every time, I was learning something new until I finally found out what are the rates, who decides on what, what’s the service the brokers provided, who the brokers are, and all of that stuff. Then after calling about 8 to 10 people, I found out how the system worked. And then, I just took care of myself and negotiated on what I learned and I found that Sherpa Auto Transport was very straightforward. They had a good reputation, which was important to me, and so I decided to go with them.
I was satisfied with the price that was quoted, the way everything went and the way I communicated in particular, which was one of the things I read a lot about people having a hard time to communicate with the company. It all worked out very well for me, so I’m very happy. The broker that I talked with was very nice and answered all my questions. I knew what questions to ask at that point in time and the range that I was willing to accept. I wasn’t looking for getting the absolute cheapest. I was looking for somebody I could trust and that was reputable. I got a decent price on it, but I didn’t know if that was the absolute rock-bottom. But Sherpa's price seemed fair, so I got that. I was happy with it and that person met that price easily, and there were no problems. I had a very good agent.
Our delivery situation was a bit complicated because I’m operating out of North Carolina, but the car was in the suburbs of Atlanta, and it had to be delivered in New Mexico, and I wasn’t there at the delivery. And so, it was all done by phone and there was a bit of a hiccup at the beginning because I was told that the driver would come at a certain time. But we didn’t hear from him, and so I started calling around. And then I finally understood that he was not in Atlanta when I had thought he might be in Atlanta at that time. So, he still had to fill up his truck. When I understood that, I talked to his people at that office, the dispatcher, and they explained that to me. We were very patient. He was supposed to come on a Saturday and he came first thing Monday morning. But we were the last to be loaded on the truck because I was told that it would take four days, and it did. We were the last in and the first out, the way their schedule worked out.
The delivery driver was very good. I got a lot of email information from Sherpa to do this and that, and we did that, took all the pictures and sent them by email to everybody. It was done very well because my son was at the beginning when they loaded it up, so he took a bunch of pictures with his phone and then sent me the pictures. I forwarded them to where the guy was gonna be at the exit, and then he knew what to do. It was an old car, so there were some issues with it, but nothing happened to the car that was Sherpa’s fault.
I was very satisfied Sherpa. I did my homework. I just wished I had learned a couple of things earlier on. For instance, I was concerned about this business of paying in cash at the other end, and nobody thought to tell me all you have to do is just go to your bank and then FedEx the check. It just seemed like a simple thing, but I read a lot of people who were complaining about, “Why do I have to pay in cash? And you have to do this and that.” This worked out very well for me because I just went to my bank once I knew what the amount was, and then I mailed it out. And of course, I learned on the way that some drivers want to be actually paid in cash. But the drivers are selected to be working, so it was made through the company that the driver was driving, which was fine with me. I didn’t know at the beginning. So, Sherpa should tell their brokers to suggest that to people when they don’t know what to do.
Most people don’t understand how the system works, and I think it would be to your advantage to be really above ground. When I started out, I did not understand that the people who I was talking were brokers. I did not understand that you posted the trip on some sort of a board where the drivers are and that you sort out those drivers as they come in according to your criteria. I was not aware of what is Sherpa's commission and what is the commission of the people who drive. But little by little, I learned all of that, the price per mile and shipping. My shipping, I could not have gotten it more than $450. There wouldn’t be any driver who do that. I’ve met all kinds of people on the way. I’ve met some very nice people and some people who were trying to push me into making a decision that I wasn’t ready to make. But not at Sherpa. By the time I reached them, I understood the system well enough that it was smooth sailing at that point in time.

The driver picked the car up from my brother's house on the other end, and my brother said he spent a lot of time making sure he documented everything correctly.

I got emails from them after the original follow-up and then from there, I talked to the driver directly. The driver that came and picked it up was awesome and he got it there in a timely manner. I was extremely pleased. Also, their final price was the exact quoted price. And that was one reason I chose Sherpa. They generally delivered at the quoted price and that was not always the case with a lot of the other services.

The customer service at Sherpa was excellent. They were punctual and whatever was promised was delivered. Their reps were also very concerned. They would frequently call and send emails and texts to make sure to give me information on what the process was. Even the person who delivered the vehicle was very helpful. He gave me updates and told me his whereabouts. He told me what time he was coming and when.

I'm a personal assistant and my client was moving from Florida to California and wanted his car there. I used another transport company to get it from California to Florida before but I wasn't very happy with it. Then I reached out to Sherpa and the driver was great. They went above and beyond. When the car arrived, it was dirty but with the Sherpa reimbursement carwash, it wasn't a problem. They said they would reimburse up to $20. They put the receipt for the carwash along with the bill of lading, send it to their center and then they'll send me a reimbursement.

I relocated from Washington to Texas and had a very good experience using Sherpa to transport my vehicle. I looked at two or three companies and chose Sherpa because of the price and their guaranteed delivery time. And I was very much impressed on the vehicle delivery. Also, their reps were very professional.

Everybody at Sherpa was extremely nice. They showed up when they were supposed to and everything went without a hitch. They did exactly what they say they would do. It's the best service from a company that I've ever had.

When my daughter needed to ship her Mini Cooper from Miami to California, she did a whole ton of research as far as reviews went for car transport companies. Sherpa came up very high on everybody’s list so she used them. And she was delighted. We had used Roadrunner before and they were okay, then all of a sudden, we had one really nasty, horrible driver so we will never use them again. We’ve used Sherpa a couple of times now and they have done a great job of vetting the drivers.
We had them ship a little electric car from Colorado to Miami. It has a canvas top, so we had to ship it enclosed. And Sherpa was about 60% of the previous company we had used. It was a huge saving. The driver was very polite and communicative. I heard from him often about where he was, what he was doing and when he expected to be here. I would highly recommend Sherpa. They are great and very reasonable.

I was getting a car from a family member, and Sherpa promised to not charge anything extra after their quote so I went with them. The transport was from Houston to Washington DC, and their quote was accurate compared with the final cost. It was competitive and sort of middle-of-the-ground, but I appreciated that it was honest and not with any hidden fees. Plus, the delivery was professional and prompt.

I shipped a Range Rover through Sherpa and their rep was fantastic on the phone with me. I liked how she'd match any price and how she walked me through the process of why Sherpa was better than the rest. She made me feel comfortable about shipping my car with them. She had the ability to make decisions and she took care of all of my questions. The process was seamless, more so than I’ve experienced with other transport companies.
The driver Sherpa sent was fantastic. I got my vehicle with no scratches or damage. I was moving from New York to Chicago that time but I wasn't ready to move into my house. I asked Sherpa to bring the car to me instead of bringing it to my house which was about 30 minutes out of my way. They accommodated that last minute, had no issues, dropped the car off right in front of my hotel. Sherpa provided outstanding service.

I had already moved to Texas and I left my car in Washington for my mother's comfort. She passed away, which made me take my car. I googled transport companies and I had some others who didn’t reply back to me. Sherpa did and they stayed in touch with me. They kept answering any questions I wanted to know first and they wanted my business. The customer service was awesome and we had a great interaction. I never had any problems with it.
Sherpa was a little bit higher and the final cost was 200 more than the quote but it was worth it. I was very happy with them and if I had somebody who needed a transport service, I would highly recommend them. I would tell people that they would be sorry if they didn’t do it with Sherpa. My car even arrived a day before that they said it would, so I was happy with that too. I had another company and they were bad. They put my car on a list and Sherpa let me know that I needed to contact them to take it off their list. Sherpa helped me with that.
