See our Vehicle Shipping Tips for more details about how to prepare your vehicle for shipping. For Troy, MI shipments, you'll want to remove any toll pass or fragile items, ensure a key is available for your carrier, and remove any interior and exterior accessories that could be damaged in transit. Our carriers will document your vehicle's condition during pickup, so starting with a clean, accessory-free vehicle helps ensure a smooth transport process.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping to or from Troy, MI. 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 duration of your shipment, giving you peace of mind throughout the transport process.

The sooner, the better. We recommend scheduling your pickup at least two weeks in advance, especially in the Troy area where we work with multiple carriers regularly. Early booking allows us to leverage our 95% carrier securement rate and bundle your shipment efficiently with others in the Detroit metro region, often reducing your costs and securing better 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 costs at least 50% more than open trailers, but it's the smart choice for high-value vehicles like classics or custom-painted cars in the Troy area. Michigan's weather—including salt spray from winter roads and unpredictable debris—makes enclosed transport especially valuable for protecting your investment. At Sakaem Logistics, we specialize in luxury and classic car transport with full insurance coverage and real-time tracking, so you'll have peace of mind knowing your vehicle is fully protected throughout the journey.

Yes, we offer door-to-door auto transport service in Troy, MI. At booking, simply provide your preferred pickup and delivery addresses anywhere in the Troy area, and our assigned carrier will pick up and deliver your vehicle directly to those locations. If any transportation restrictions or safety challenges arise, your carrier will work with you to arrange an alternative nearby location, such as a gas station or parking lot. With our real-time tracking and dedicated expert support, you'll have full visibility throughout the process.

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.
