See our Vehicle Shipping Tips for more details about how to prepare your vehicle for shipping. In short, you'll want to remove any toll pass (especially important for Miami's expressway systems), make sure you have a key available to provide the carrier, and remove any interior and exterior accessories that could be damaged in transit. Given Miami's humid climate, also consider removing any items sensitive to moisture and ensuring your vehicle's battery is in good condition before pickup.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping to or from Miami. 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 before your shipment departs, whether you're shipping from Miami's ports, residential areas, or dealerships.

The sooner, the better. We recommend scheduling your Miami pickup at least two weeks in advance, though posting your shipment immediately is ideal—especially given Miami's high shipping volume. This gives our carriers time to bundle your vehicle with others heading out of South Florida, which helps secure competitive rates and reliable pickup windows. With our 95% successful carrier securement rate, early scheduling ensures we can match you with the right carrier for 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 classic cars or custom paint jobs—especially in Miami's intense sun and humidity, which can fade finishes and attract salt spray corrosion. Open transport works well for standard vehicles making the Miami route, as our FMCSA-licensed carriers maintain rigorous safety standards to protect against road debris. Sakaem's AI-verified pricing ensures you get transparent quotes upfront with no surprises, so you can confidently choose the protection level your vehicle deserves.

Yes, we offer door-to-door auto transport service in Miami. At booking, simply provide your preferred pickup and delivery addresses in the Miami area, and our assigned carrier will pick up and deliver your vehicle directly to those locations whenever possible. If there are any transportation restrictions due to Miami's urban layout or safety considerations, your carrier will work with you to arrange an alternative nearby location, such as a parking lot or gas station. With real-time tracking throughout your shipment, you'll know exactly when your vehicle arrives.

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.
