See our Vehicle Shipping Tips for more details about how to prepare your vehicle for shipping. For Mountain View shipments, you'll want to remove any FasTrak toll passes (common in the Bay Area), secure a vehicle key for the carrier, and remove interior and exterior accessories that could shift during transit. Also ensure your vehicle is in good working condition so our carriers can safely load and transport it from the Silicon Valley area.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping to or from Mountain View. All carriers on 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 is valid and active throughout your shipment, so you can have peace of mind knowing your vehicle is protected during transport to the Silicon Valley area.

The sooner, the better. We recommend scheduling your Mountain View pickup at least two weeks in advance, though posting your shipment immediately is ideal so carriers can bundle your vehicle with others heading through the Bay Area. With our 95% carrier securement rate, early scheduling in Mountain View's competitive market helps us assign the right carrier faster and lock in 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 it's the smart choice for high-value vehicles like classics or custom builds—especially important in Mountain View where tech industry professionals often ship premium cars. Open transport works well for standard vehicles and is our most popular option for cost-conscious shippers in the Bay Area. With Sakaem Logistics, you'll get transparent pricing upfront with our AI-verified quotes, so you know exactly what you're paying before committing.

Yes, we offer door-to-door auto transport service in Mountain View. At booking, simply provide your preferred pickup and delivery addresses in the Mountain View area, and our FMCSA-licensed carrier will pick up and deliver your vehicle directly to those locations whenever possible. If access restrictions exist at your specific address, our carrier will work with you to arrange a nearby alternative, such as a local gas station or parking lot, ensuring a seamless 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.
