See our Vehicle Shipping Tips for more details about how to prepare your vehicle for shipping. For Burbank shipments, you'll want to remove any toll passes (especially important for Southern California freeways), secure a vehicle key for carrier access, and remove interior and exterior accessories that could shift or be damaged during transit. Given Burbank's urban location, also ensure your vehicle is parked in an accessible spot for carrier pickup.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping to or from Burbank. All carriers in our network are FMCSA-licensed and required to carry a minimum of $1,000,000 in liability insurance and $100,000 in cargo insurance. We verify each carrier's insurance policy is valid and active before your shipment leaves the Los Angeles area, giving you peace of mind throughout the transport process.

The sooner, the better. We recommend scheduling your Burbank pickup at least two weeks in advance, though posting your shipment immediately is ideal. Burbank's location in the Los Angeles metro area means carriers frequently service the region, so early posting helps us bundle your vehicle with others heading the same direction and secure an "Assignment-Ready" quote that carriers actually accept.

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 offers superior protection—especially important in Burbank's dusty climate and heavy traffic areas. Choose enclosed auto transport for high-value vehicles like classics or custom-painted cars that need protection from road debris and weather exposure. With Sakaem Logistics, our FMCSA-licensed carriers provide full insurance coverage regardless of transport method, and our real-time tracking keeps you informed every step of the way.

Yes, we offer door-to-door auto transport service in Burbank. When you book with us, simply provide your preferred pickup and delivery addresses in or around Burbank, and our FMCSA-licensed carrier will work to pick up and deliver your vehicle directly to those locations. If any transportation restrictions or safety challenges arise in the Burbank area, the carrier will coordinate with you to arrange an alternative nearby location, such as a local gas station or parking lot, ensuring your car gets where it needs to go.

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.
