Cost factors
What moves the price of a Orlando shipment
Season
Snowbird season can change carrier demand. Florida’s Atlantic hurricane season runs June 1 to November 30; storms or evacuations can delay Orlando-area pickups and deliveries, especially from August through October.
Vehicle size
SUVs and pickups take more trailer space than sedans, which can raise the quote. Larger or heavier vehicles may also need a carrier suited to their size.
Pickup access
Large car haulers need room to maneuver. Tight streets or gated access around Orlando can affect where a carrier can safely load or unload your vehicle.
Open vs enclosed
Open carriers move more cars at once and expose them to the elements. Enclosed transport adds weather and road-debris protection, which is useful for high-value vehicles.

Save money
5 ways to pay less (and wait less)
Share a flexible pickup window
If your move date is flexible, tell SAKAEM when you request a quote; a wider pickup window gives dispatchers more options on Orlando lanes.
Plan for tight access
If your Orlando address has narrow streets or gated entry, flag it early and agree on a truck-friendly meeting point before dispatch.
Choose transport for the car
For a standard daily driver, request an open-carrier quote first; reserve enclosed transport for a high-value or especially vulnerable vehicle.
Make the address easy to reach
Provide a precise pickup address and share gate codes or access limits in advance, especially near busy routes like I-4, Florida’s Turnpike, or SR 50.
Get a route-specific quote
Among Orlando shipments leaving the city, 135 of 4,884 on record were in-state Florida moves; request a quote for your exact route.

Insurance before registration
Before registration, show at least $10,000 PIP and $10,000 PDL coverage; keep it active even when the car is not driven [FLHSMV].

FAQ
Orlando car shipping questions
How much does it cost to ship a car from or to Orlando?
For a running vehicle on open transport, a typical quote from Orlando is $825–$1,200; shipping to Orlando is $850–$1,200. These ranges reflect the middle half of customer quotes on record, not a fixed price. Your route, vehicle size, pickup access, and choice of open or enclosed transport shape the final quote.
How long does car shipping take from Orlando?
Typical road transit for Orlando-to-New York shipments is 1–4 days; Orlando to Los Angeles is 4–9 days. Orlando-to-Seattle runs are typically 4–10 days. These are days on the road after pickup; transit starts once the car is picked up, and estimates are not guarantees.
Is my car insured during transport?
SAKAEM uses FMCSA-licensed and insured carriers, each carrying at least $1,000,000 in liability coverage and $100,000 in cargo insurance. At pickup, inspect the car with the driver and make sure existing marks are recorded on the Bill of Lading; repeat the review at delivery.
Can I pack personal items in my car?
SAKAEM allows up to 100 lbs of personal items in the trunk or below the window line; personal items are not allowed on Hawaii ocean shipments. Keep valuables, documents, and loose items with you, and confirm how the vehicle should be packed before pickup.
Can you ship a non-running car?
SAKAEM can ship a non-running vehicle if it rolls, brakes, and steers, and you provide a key. Tell us its condition before booking and note whether it can move under its own power, so the carrier can plan the pickup safely.
How can 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 which method you’ll use before dispatch and have it ready at the agreed payment point. Ask your coordinator if you’re unsure.
Do I need to be present at pickup and delivery?
A designated adult must be at pickup and delivery to inspect the car and sign the Bill of Lading. If you cannot attend, choose someone you trust, give them the booking details, and make sure they can review the vehicle with the driver at both handoffs.
