★★★★★
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 New Port Richey shipment
Season
Snowbird traffic can tighten carrier capacity on Florida routes. Atlantic hurricane season runs June 1 to November 30, and storms or evacuations can delay pickups and deliveries, especially from August through October.
Vehicle size
SUVs and crossovers take more carrier-deck space than sedans, which can raise the quote. A pickup's dimensions and weight can also affect the space it needs.
Pickup access
A large carrier may not fit on a tight Downtown street or through a gated community. Difficult access can mean extra coordination or a nearby handoff, which can affect the price.
Open vs enclosed
Open carriers move more vehicles at once, while enclosed service offers added protection and costs more. The level of protection you choose changes the quote.

Save money
5 ways to pay less (and wait less)
Pick an easy meeting spot
If your street in Downtown or Schwettman Oaks is tight, agree on a truck-friendly meeting point and share gate instructions before pickup.
Keep weather plans flexible
Watch Florida storm forecasts and contact SAKAEM promptly if a storm may affect your pickup or delivery plans.
Choose the right service
Use open transport for a standard daily driver; ask for enclosed service if you want added protection for a high-value car.
Prepare the car
Remove toll tags or disable toll transponders before loading, and clear loose items from the cabin so the carrier can inspect the vehicle.
Make handoff simple
Have the keys and a working pickup contact ready, and take clear condition photos before the driver arrives.

Meet the new-resident deadlines
Get Florida insurance and title and register your vehicle within 10 days of establishing residency; get a Florida driver license within 30 days [FLHSMV].
Complete the title transfer
Buy insurance from a Florida-licensed agent, get the VIN checked in person and recorded on form HSMV 82040 or HSMV 82042, then take the forms, out-of-state title, and insurance proof to your county tax collector [FLHSMV].

FAQ
New Port Richey car shipping questions
How much does it cost to ship a car to or from New Port Richey?
For New Port Richey, typical open-transport quotes for a running vehicle fall between $800 and $1,150 for shipments both to and from the city; these represent the middle half of customer quotes on record. The outbound figure is about $75 below the Tampa metro overall. Your exact quote depends on route, vehicle, access, season, and service.
How long does car shipping take?
For New Port Richey shipments, recorded New York runs typically take 1–4 days on the road; Boston, 2–6; Dallas, 1–4; and Los Angeles, 3–7. Transit estimates start after pickup and are not guarantees. Your pickup date depends on carrier availability, route order, and access at the addresses.
Is my car insured during transport?
All carriers SAKAEM books are FMCSA-licensed and insured, with at least $1,000,000 in liability coverage and $100,000 in cargo coverage. Before loading, ask the carrier how to report a claim. At delivery, check the vehicle against the pickup condition record and note any new damage on the Bill of Lading.
Can I leave personal items in the car?
You may place up to 100 lbs of personal items in the trunk or below the window line. Keep the load within that limit and secure items so they do not shift. Remove valuables, important documents, and anything you will need during the move; the carrier is transporting the vehicle, not your household belongings.
Can you ship a car that does not run?
Yes. SAKAEM can arrange transport for a non-running vehicle if it rolls, brakes, and steers, and you provide a key. Tell us about the car's condition when you request a quote so the carrier can plan the right loading equipment and service. If it cannot meet those conditions, describe the issue before booking.
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 and timing with SAKAEM and the carrier before pickup, so you know what is due at booking and what is paid directly to the driver.
Do I need to be present at pickup?
A designated adult must be present at both pickup and delivery to inspect the vehicle and sign the Bill of Lading. If you cannot attend, arrange for someone you trust to meet the driver, review the car's condition, and complete the handoff. Make sure that person has the keys and pickup details.
