See our Vehicle Shipping Tips for more details about how to prepare your vehicle for shipping. For Lafayette shipments, you'll want to remove any toll pass or fragile items, ensure a key is available for the carrier, and remove any interior and exterior accessories that could be damaged in transit. Our carriers will conduct a digital vehicle inspection before pickup, so having your vehicle clean and accessible in the Lafayette area helps ensure a smooth handoff.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping to or from Lafayette. All carriers transporting your car are required to have a minimum of $1,000,000 in liability insurance and $100,000 in cargo insurance. We verify that each carrier's FMCSA-licensed insurance policy is valid and in good standing throughout your Lafayette shipment, giving you peace of mind from pickup to delivery.

The sooner, the better. We recommend scheduling your Lafayette pickup at least two weeks in advance, though posting your shipment immediately gives carriers the best chance to bundle your vehicle with others heading through Indiana. Our AI-verified pricing and 95% carrier securement rate mean your shipment gets matched quickly when you book early.

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 provides superior protection for high-value vehicles like classics or custom-painted cars—especially important when shipping through Lafayette's variable Midwest weather and highway conditions. Open transport is a reliable, budget-friendly option for standard vehicles making the trip to or from Lafayette. At Sakaem Logistics, our AI-verified pricing ensures you get transparent quotes upfront, and all our FMCSA-licensed carriers carry full insurance coverage regardless of which option you choose.

Yes, we offer door-to-door auto transport service in Lafayette, IN. At booking, simply provide your preferred pickup and delivery addresses anywhere in the Lafayette area, and our assignment-ready carriers will pick up and deliver your vehicle directly to those locations whenever possible. If local transportation restrictions or safety concerns arise, your dedicated carrier will work with you to arrange an alternative nearby location, such as a gas station or parking lot, ensuring a seamless experience from start to finish.

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.
