What customers say about shipping with SAKAEM
★★★★★
I shipped my car from California to Michigan and Sakaem came back with the best quote and answered all of my questions. I wish they could tell you an exact day they could pick up, but overall the service was great and I got my car in less than a week with no issues. Happy customer!
★★★★★
I was searching for a company based in Atlanta and SAKAEM came up with some great reviews and they delivered as promised, will use them again if I ever need the service.
★★★★★
Very good company. Works hard to help you with your car being transported and accommodating your needs. I would recommend and use them again if needed. Great job.
Cost factors
What moves the price of a Chino shipment
Season
Snowbird season can add competition for Florida-bound capacity. Winter snow at Sierra Nevada passes and summer or fall wildfires can close highways and change carrier routing.
Vehicle size
A pickup or SUV takes more trailer space than a sedan. That larger footprint can raise the quote for a Chino shipment.
Pickup access
Large carrier trucks may not fit tight streets or gated communities in Chino. If the truck needs a different meeting point, dispatch and coordination can affect the price.
Open vs enclosed
Chino’s quote records are for open transport. Enclosed service adds protection for high-value cars, but usually costs more.

Save money
5 ways to pay less (and wait less)
Choose an easy handoff point
If your street is tight, suggest a wide, accessible meeting point near I-10, I-15, SR 60, or SR 71 before booking.
Share access details early
For pickup or delivery in The Preserve, College Park, Downtown Chino, or Park East, give the carrier clear entry instructions and a nearby meeting option.
Describe the car accurately
Share the vehicle’s body type and running condition when you request a quote. If it does not run, confirm it rolls, brakes, and steers, and that you have a key.
Compare service types
If you have a high-value car, request an enclosed quote alongside open transport so you can weigh the added protection against the price.
Get a lane-specific quote
For a move from Chino to another California city, request that exact route. In-state departures are rare in Chino’s records, so a Charlotte or Dallas quote is not a useful price stand-in.

Moving to Chino
Your California car checklist
Moving into Chino from out of state? California’s registration, title, insurance, and smog rules may affect your first steps after delivery. Use this checklist to line up your paperwork and vehicle inspection.
Register after moving
Register your car in California within 20 days of becoming a resident or getting a job in the state. [CA DMV]
Transfer the title
Bring REG 343, your out-of-state title and last registration, plus a smog certificate. A DMV employee, police officer, or licensed vehicle verifier must check the VIN on REG 31; then pay fees and usually turn in old plates. [CA DMV]
Meet insurance minimums
California requires 30/60/15 liability coverage: $30,000 per person, $60,000 for injury or death to more than one person, and $15,000 for property damage. This rule applies since January 1, 2025. [CA DMV]
Check smog requirements
Out-of-state gas cars from model year 1976 or newer need a smog check at first California registration, even if brand new. Diesel cars from 1998 or newer under 14,001 lbs also need one; most areas then require checks every two years. [CA BAR]
Review window tint
Front side film must be clear and colorless and let in at least 88% of light; filmed glass must still let in at least 70%. Rear tint requires outside mirrors on both sides; windshield tint is limited to a top strip. [Cal. Veh. Code 26708]
Set up toll payment
FasTrak pays tolls electronically on every California toll bridge, express lane, and toll road; one account works across them. [FasTrak]

FAQ
Chino car shipping questions
How much does it cost to ship a car to or from Chino?
Typical quotes on record are $1,025–$1,300 for shipping from Chino and $1,000–$1,300 for shipping to Chino, based on open transport for running vehicles. Those ranges cover the middle half of 107 outbound and 56 inbound quotes. Your exact lane, vehicle, pickup access, and transport type shape your quote.
How long does car shipping to or from Chino take?
For Chino shipments on record, Charlotte is estimated at 3–7 days, Dallas and Houston at 2–6 days, and New York at 4–10 days on the road. Transit starts after pickup, and these estimates aren’t guarantees. Pickup scheduling and route conditions affect the calendar time before the car is loaded.
Is my car insured during transport?
All carriers arranged through SAKAEM are FMCSA-licensed and insured, with at least $1,000,000 in liability coverage and $100,000 in cargo insurance. Ask what the carrier’s policy covers for your vehicle and review its condition with the driver at handoff. Carrier cargo protection is separate from your own auto coverage.
Can I leave personal items in the car?
SAKAEM allows up to 100 lbs of personal items in the trunk, below the window line. Keep the load within that limit and tell the carrier before pickup so the driver knows what is in the car. Do not leave valuables or items you need during the move.
Can you ship a car that doesn’t run?
SAKAEM can ship a non-running car if it rolls, brakes, and steers, and you provide a key. Tell us its condition before booking so the carrier knows how it can be moved onto and off the trailer. If it does not meet those conditions, ask about options before scheduling.
How do I pay for car shipping?
You can pay by card, or pay the carrier with cash or certified check; Zelle and Venmo are also accepted. Confirm the payment method and timing with your broker and carrier before pickup and delivery, so you have the right form of payment ready.
Do I need to be present at pickup?
A designated adult must be present at pickup and delivery to inspect the vehicle and sign the Bill of Lading. If you cannot attend, choose someone you trust to handle both handoffs. Ask them to keep the paperwork and note the car’s condition before accepting it.
