See our Vehicle Shipping Tips for more details about how to prepare your vehicle for shipping. When shipping from Whittier, you'll want to remove any toll passes (important for Southern California freeways), fragile items, and interior/exterior accessories that could be damaged in transit. Make sure you have a key available for your carrier and that your vehicle is in drivable condition. Our digital vehicle inspections will document your car's condition before pickup, so proper preparation helps ensure a smooth handoff.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping to or from Whittier. 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 every carrier's insurance policy is valid and in good standing before your shipment leaves the Los Angeles area.

The sooner, the better. We recommend scheduling your Whittier pickup at least two weeks in advance so our carriers can efficiently bundle your shipment with others in the Los Angeles area. With our 95% successful carrier securement rate, posting early gives us the best chance to match you with a reliable, FMCSA-licensed carrier within your requested timeframe.

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 that need protection from road debris and Southern California weather. In the Whittier area, where coastal humidity and frequent freeway traffic are common, enclosed transport shields your car from environmental exposure during transit. At Sakaem Logistics, we match you with FMCSA-licensed carriers equipped for enclosed transport, and our AI-verified pricing ensures you get fair rates upfront with no surprises.

Yes, we offer door-to-door auto transport service in Whittier and throughout the Los Angeles area. At booking, simply provide your preferred pickup and delivery addresses in Whittier, and our FMCSA-licensed carrier will pick up and deliver your vehicle directly to those locations whenever safely possible. If any transportation restrictions apply to your specific Whittier address, our dedicated expert support team will work with you to arrange a convenient alternative nearby, such as a local gas station or parking lot.

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.
