See our Vehicle Shipping Tips for detailed preparation guidance. For Novi shipments, we recommend removing toll passes (especially important for Michigan expressways), securing a vehicle key for carrier access, and removing interior and exterior accessories that could shift or be damaged during transit. Our digital vehicle inspection process will document your car's condition before pickup, so having it clean and accessible helps ensure an accurate assessment.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping to or from Novi, MI. All carriers in 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 active throughout your shipment, giving you peace of mind whether you're transporting a vehicle within the Detroit metro area or across the country.

The sooner, the better. We recommend scheduling your Novi pickup at least two weeks in advance, though posting your shipment as soon as possible is ideal. This gives our carriers time to bundle your vehicle with others in the Michigan area, which improves efficiency and helps us maintain our 95% carrier securement rate within requested timeframes.

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 it's the right choice for high-value vehicles like classics or custom builds that need protection from road debris and weather. In the Novi area, where many residents own luxury and specialty vehicles, enclosed transport is popular for those who want extra peace of mind. Open transport works well for standard vehicles and is our most affordable option. With Sakaem Logistics, you'll get transparent pricing upfront—no surprises—so you can choose the right option for your vehicle and budget.

Yes, we offer door-to-door auto transport service in Novi, MI. At booking, simply provide your preferred pickup and delivery addresses in the Novi area, and our FMCSA-licensed carriers will work to pick up and deliver your vehicle directly to those locations. If any transportation restrictions or safety challenges arise, your carrier will coordinate with you to arrange an alternative nearby location, such as a local gas station or parking lot, ensuring your car gets where it needs to go.

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.
