Reviews
What customers say about shipping with SAKAEM
★★★★★
Needed a car transported from Colorado to Florida and was overwhelmed with offers from various companies. Matthew was extremely helpful in securing transport for me. SAKAEM Logistics is the best transport company. Our car was delivered a day early. Great communication and they do what they say. Thank you for being so professional and easy to work with.
★★★★★
I was skeptical of all shipping companies but pleasantly 😮 surprised with Sakaem. They gave me a reasonable quote for shipping my car across country and lived up to their quote. They followed through on securing a driver and picked up my carb3 days after booking. My car arrived at destination intact and the driver kept me advised of locations. Everyone I dealt with from the beginning were helpful and courteous.
★★★★★
Efficient and reliable transport at reasonable price! My car was picked up on Friday and delivered on Tuesday all the way across the country, would have been an 18-hour drive for me. Thank you!
Cost factors
What moves the price of a Loveland shipment
Season
Winter snowstorms can close or slow mountain routes like I-70 from roughly October through April, affecting carrier routing and availability.
Vehicle size
Larger, heavier vehicles take more trailer space and can cost more to move. A pickup may price above a sedan, while an SUV is closer to a sedan in Loveland's open quotes.
Pickup access
Tight turns, low clearance, or gated access can keep a carrier truck from reaching your exact address. A different handoff point or route can affect the quote.
Open vs enclosed
Enclosed transport adds protection from weather and road debris but uses specialized trailer space, so it usually costs more than open shipping.
Save money
5 ways to pay less (and wait less)
Offer a flexible pickup window
Give your broker some flexibility instead of requiring an exact pickup date. That can make it easier to match your car with a carrier on an I-25 route.
Choose a carrier-friendly handoff
If your address has a gate or tight turns, propose a meeting point near US 34 or I-25 before booking rather than relying on curb access.
Share vehicle details early
Give the exact vehicle type and disclose lift kits, oversized tires, or a non-running condition before booking to avoid a revised quote at pickup.
Match transport to the car
For a standard daily driver, start with open shipping. Choose enclosed transport if extra protection from weather and road debris matters for your vehicle.
Plan for winter routes
For a winter move, ask about a route plan for I-70 mountain disruptions and keep a backup Loveland handoff contact available.

Moving to Loveland
Your Colorado car checklist
Loveland's typical outbound quote is about the same as across the Greeley metro, while Loveland accounts for 113 of 671 outbound shipments on record across the Greeley metro. If you're bringing a car into Colorado, use this checklist for title, registration, and local vehicle rules.
Title and register on time
You have 90 days after becoming a Colorado resident to title and register your car; late fees apply after that. [Colorado DMV]
Prepare for title transfer
Get VIN verification (Form DR 2698), pass emissions if required, then visit your county motor vehicle office with your out-of-state title, Colorado insurance, approved ID, and DR 2504 residency form with proof of address. [Colorado DMV]
Meet Colorado insurance minimums
Colorado requires 25/50/15 liability coverage: $25,000 for injury to one person, $50,000 for injuries to all people in an accident, and $15,000 for property damage. [Colorado DMV]
Check emissions requirements
Parts of Larimer County require emissions testing; gas cars are exempt for their first 7 model years, and all-electric cars never need a test. [Colorado DMV]
Review window tint
Side and rear windows must let in at least 27% light; windshield tint is limited to the top 4 inches. Rear windows may be darker only if front side windows and windshield let in at least 70% light. [C.R.S. 42-4-227]
Know the toll roads
Denver-area toll roads such as E-470 and CDOT Express Lanes use ExpressToll; E-470 can also bill by license plate. [E-470]

FAQ
Loveland car shipping questions
How much does it cost to ship a car to or from Loveland?
For a running car on open transport, typical quotes on record are $800–$1,100 from Loveland and $900–$1,175 to Loveland. These are the middle half of customer quotes; vehicle size, route, and access shape your final quote. Ask for a quote based on your exact vehicle and pickup location.
How long does car shipping take?
Transit estimates depend on the route. Across the Greeley metro, Phoenix runs 0–3 days and Miami runs 3–7 days on the road. Transit starts after pickup; estimates aren't guarantees. Pickup scheduling and local access are separate from road time, so plan your handoff around the carrier's confirmed pickup.
Is my car insured during transport?
Your vehicle travels with an FMCSA-licensed, insured carrier. SAKAEM carriers carry at least $1,000,000 in liability coverage and $100,000 in cargo insurance. Review the inspection record with the driver at pickup and delivery, and ask the carrier how its coverage applies if you notice damage.
Can I leave personal items in the car?
SAKAEM allows up to 100 lbs of personal items in the trunk or below the window line. Keep belongings secured there and leave the area above the window line clear. Remove valuables, fragile items, and anything you may need before delivery; carriers move vehicles, not household loads.
Can you ship a non-running car?
Yes. SAKAEM can ship a non-running car if it rolls, brakes, and steers, and you provide a key. Tell us before booking that it won't start and describe any issue with its wheels or steering so the carrier can plan for the vehicle's condition. If it cannot roll, brake, or steer, confirm options before booking.
How do I pay for car shipping?
SAKAEM accepts card payments, or you can pay the carrier by cash or certified check; Zelle and Venmo are accepted too. Confirm your agreed method before pickup, then have the payment ready for the party collecting it. Keep a receipt or payment confirmation for your records.
Do I need to be present at pickup and delivery?
Yes. A designated adult must be at pickup and delivery to inspect the car and sign the Bill of Lading. If you cannot attend, arrange an adult you trust to handle both handoffs and point out existing marks or receive the vehicle. This helps avoid a missed inspection or unsigned paperwork.
