To prepare your vehicle for transit from New Haven, CT, see our Vehicle Shipping Tips for detailed guidance. In short, remove any toll passes (important for Connecticut highways), fragile items, and interior or exterior accessories that could be damaged during transit. Make sure you have a spare key available for your carrier, and note that our FMCSA-licensed carriers will perform a digital vehicle inspection before pickup to document your vehicle's condition.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping to or from New Haven. All carriers transporting your car through Connecticut are required to maintain 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 in good standing before your shipment begins, giving you peace of mind throughout the transport process.

The sooner, the better. We recommend scheduling your New Haven car shipment at least two weeks in advance so our AI-verified pricing can match your vehicle with available carriers in the Connecticut area. Booking early increases the likelihood of securing a carrier within your requested timeframe—we maintain a 95% success rate for on-time pickups.

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 typically costs at least 50% more than open trailers, but provides essential protection for high-value vehicles like classics or custom-painted cars against road debris and New Haven's coastal weather conditions. For standard vehicles shipping to or from the New Haven area, open transport is a reliable and cost-effective option. Our AI-verified pricing ensures you get transparent quotes upfront, and all our FMCSA-licensed carriers include full insurance coverage regardless of which option you choose.

Yes, we offer door-to-door auto transport service in New Haven. When you book with us, simply provide your preferred pickup and delivery addresses in the New Haven area, and our FMCSA-licensed carrier will pick up and deliver your vehicle directly to those locations whenever possible. If there are any transportation restrictions or safety challenges in New Haven—such as narrow residential streets or limited access—our carrier will work with you to arrange an alternative nearby location, like 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.
