See our Vehicle Shipping Tips for more details about how to prepare your vehicle for shipping. 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. In Phoenix's hot climate, also consider emptying your fuel tank to about a quarter full and ensuring your battery is in good condition, as extreme heat can affect both during transport.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping to or from Phoenix. All carriers on our network are FMCSA-licensed and required to maintain a minimum of $1,000,000 in liability insurance and $100,000 in cargo insurance. We verify that every carrier's insurance policy is valid and active throughout your Phoenix shipment, giving you complete peace of mind.

We recommend scheduling your Phoenix pickup at least two weeks in advance, though posting your shipment sooner helps us secure a carrier faster. Phoenix's high shipping volume means early booking lets us bundle your vehicle with other shipments in the area, which improves availability and pricing. With our 95% carrier securement rate, we work efficiently to get your car picked up on your timeline.

We accept all forms of payment. We can arrange credit cards or arrange for you to pay the carrier directly through cash/certified check. We even accept payment via Cash/Zelle/Venmo.

Your shipment with SAKAEM includes up to 100 lbs of personal items or household goods stored in the trunk area or secured below the window line. If your shipment includes ocean transit (Hawaii shipments), your vehicle must be emptied of all items. SAKAEM and your assigned carrier are not responsible for personal items left inside your vehicle. See our Auto Transport Process Article for more details.

A designated (adult) must be present at pickup and delivery. 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.

Enclosed transport costs at least 50% more than open trailers, but provides protection from Phoenix's intense sun, dust storms, and desert debris—critical for high-value vehicles like classics or custom paint jobs. Open transport is budget-friendly for standard vehicles and works well for shorter Phoenix-area moves. With Sakaem Logistics, you'll get AI-verified pricing upfront so you know exactly what you're paying, plus real-time tracking and full FMCSA-licensed carrier insurance either way.

Yes, we offer door-to-door auto transport service in Phoenix. At booking, simply provide your preferred pickup and delivery addresses in the Phoenix area, and your assigned carrier will pick up and deliver your vehicle directly to those locations. If any transportation restrictions or safety challenges arise in the Phoenix metro area, your carrier will work with you to arrange an alternative nearby location, such as a gas station or parking lot. Our AI-verified pricing and real-time tracking ensure a transparent, simplified shipping experience from start to finish.

We transport sedans, SUVs, pickup trucks, electric vehicles, vans and motorcycles across all 48 continental states + Hawaii. Our services even provide shipment for golf carts, ATVs, or RVs. We can ship vehicles that don't run so long as the vehicle can roll, brake, and steer, and that you can provide the carrier with a key to the vehicle. The only exception is boats, which we do not transport.
