See our Vehicle Shipping Tips for comprehensive preparation guidance. For Lawrence shipments, you'll want to remove toll passes, fragile items, and any interior or exterior accessories that could shift during transit. Make sure a key is available for your carrier, and note that our FMCSA-licensed carriers will conduct a digital vehicle inspection before pickup to document your vehicle's condition.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping to or from Lawrence, KS. All of our FMCSA-licensed carriers 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 insurance policy is valid and in good standing for the entire duration of your shipment, giving you peace of mind throughout the transport process.

The sooner, the better.

SAKAEM and your assigned carrier are not responsible for personal items left inside your vehicle. See our Auto Transport Process Article for more details.
