See our Vehicle Shipping Tips for detailed preparation guidance. For Kansas City shipments, we recommend removing toll pass devices (common on I-435 and I-70), securing a spare key for carrier access, and removing interior and exterior accessories that could shift or be damaged during transit. Our FMCSA-licensed carriers handle the heavy lifting—you just need to ensure your vehicle is ready for the road.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping to or from Kansas City, KS. 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 that each carrier's insurance policy is valid and in good standing throughout your shipment, giving you peace of mind from pickup to delivery in the Kansas City area.

The sooner, the better. We recommend scheduling your Kansas City pickup at least two weeks in advance, though posting your shipment immediately gives carriers the best opportunity to bundle your vehicle with others heading through the Kansas City area. With our 95% carrier securement rate, early scheduling in Kansas City typically means faster assignment and more reliable pickup windows.

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 typically costs at least 50% more than open trailers, but it's the right choice for high-value vehicles like classics or custom builds that need protection from Kansas City's weather and road debris. Open transport is our most popular option for standard vehicles shipping to or from the Kansas City area—it's economical and reliable. At Sakaem Logistics, we match you with FMCSA-licensed carriers experienced in both methods, so you get transparent pricing and the right solution for your vehicle's needs.

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

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.
