Reviews
What customers say about shipping with SAKAEM

I just had my Jeep delivered to Miami, Florida from Phoenix, AZ. The transport and delivery was perfect coordinated by SAKAEM Logistics was excellent. Delivery was completed in 4 days at a real reasonable price.
★★★★★
Best quote I got for an enclosed trailer and was totally worth it! The sales rep was very friendly and professional and so was the driver, kept me informed throughout the process and even delivered a day early to what I was originaly given.
★★★★★
I almost went with another company, but the positive reviews and better pricing convinced me to give these guys a shot. Great communication, professional driver, and an overall easy experience.
Cost factors
What moves the price of a Daytona Beach shipment
Season
Snowbird travel can add demand around Daytona Beach. Atlantic hurricane season runs June 1 to November 30; storms or evacuations can delay Florida pickups and deliveries, especially from August through October.
Vehicle size
A pickup takes more trailer space and weighs more than a sedan, so it typically costs more to transport. SUVs and crossovers also tend to quote above sedans.
Pickup access
A transport truck may not fit every residential street or gate. A roomy meeting point near I-95, US-1, or US-92 can change the carrier’s route and quote.
Open vs enclosed
Open transport leaves a vehicle exposed to weather and road debris. Enclosed carriers offer more protection but use specialized trailer space, so they often cost more and suit high-value or collectible cars.

Save money
5 ways to pay less (and wait less)
Plan the Phoenix handoff
For a Phoenix-bound move, confirm the delivery address and receiving contact before pickup so someone is ready to accept the car.
Keep your Daytona address current
If your car is coming from California, New York, or Texas, share the final Daytona Beach address early and update dispatch if it changes.
Check in-state availability
If your Florida move stays in-state, confirm carrier availability before locking in a moving date; these departures are rare among Daytona Beach shipments on record.
Name the nearby city
If delivery is in Port Orange, Ormond Beach, or New Smyrna Beach rather than Daytona Beach, put that exact city in your quote request.
Share a pickup backup
Send your exact Daytona Beach pickup street and gate instructions, plus an alternate truck-friendly meeting point near I-95 or US-1.

Moving to Daytona Beach
Your Florida car checklist
Shipping your car to Daytona Beach and completing Florida paperwork are separate parts of a move. Use this checklist to prepare for the state requirements that apply to you.
New-resident deadlines
New residents must get Florida insurance and title and register their vehicle within 10 days of establishing residency, and get a Florida driver license within 30 days [FLHSMV].
Insurance before registration
Before registering, show at least $10,000 of Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and $10,000 of Property Damage Liability (PDL), and keep coverage active even when the car is not driven [FLHSMV].
Out-of-state title transfer
Buy insurance from a Florida-licensed agent; get an in-person VIN check recorded on HSMV 82040 or HSMV 82042. Submit the form, out-of-state title, and insurance proof to your county tax collector for a Florida title and plate [FLHSMV].
No emissions testing

Window tint limits
Front side windows must let in at least 28% of light; windows behind the driver must allow 15% in sedans and 6% in SUVs, vans, and other multipurpose vehicles [Fla. Stat. 316.2953–.2954].

FAQ
Daytona Beach car shipping questions
How much does it cost to ship a car to or from Daytona Beach?
For open transport with a running vehicle, the middle half of Daytona Beach quotes on record is $775–$1,175 outbound and $875–$1,250 inbound. Your route, vehicle, season, pickup access, and trailer choice can shift the final quote. Share those details for a quote tailored to your move.
How long does car shipping take?
For a Daytona Beach–Atlanta run, typical road time is 0–2 days; New York is 1–4 days, Phoenix is 3–7 days, and Los Angeles is 4–9 days. Transit estimates start after pickup and aren’t guarantees. Tell us your destination and pickup plans for a more useful estimate.
Is my car insured during transport?
SAKAEM works with FMCSA-licensed and insured carriers that carry at least $1,000,000 in liability coverage and $100,000 in cargo coverage. Carrier insurance is separate from your personal auto policy, so check your policy for how it treats the vehicle during transport. Florida registration has separate insurance requirements [FLHSMV].
Can I put personal items in the car?
SAKAEM allows up to 100 lbs of personal items in the trunk or below the window line. Pack only items that fit within that limit, and keep valuables, documents, medications, and loose belongings with you. Hawaii ocean shipments do not allow personal items.
Can you ship a non-running car?
Yes. SAKAEM can ship a non-running vehicle if it rolls, brakes, and steers, and a key is available. Tell us its condition when you request a quote so the carrier can plan for loading and access. A car that cannot meet those conditions may need a different plan.
How do I pay for car shipping?
You can pay by card, or pay the carrier by cash or certified check; Zelle and Venmo are also accepted. Confirm the payment method before pickup so you know who collects payment and when. Use a method you have agreed on with SAKAEM.
Do I need to be present at pickup and delivery?
A designated adult must be at both pickup and delivery to inspect the vehicle and sign the Bill of Lading. Arrange a backup adult if you cannot attend either handoff, and make sure they have the keys and can discuss the car’s condition with the driver.
