See our Vehicle Shipping Tips for detailed preparation guidance. Before your Missoula pickup, remove toll passes, fragile items, and any interior or exterior accessories that could be damaged in transit. Make sure you have a key available for our carrier, and note that our digital vehicle inspection process will document your car's condition before departure, so a clean vehicle helps ensure accurate documentation.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping to or from Missoula. 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 in good standing throughout your shipment, so your vehicle is protected from pickup to delivery in the Missoula area.

The sooner, the better. We recommend scheduling your Missoula pickup at least two weeks in advance, though posting your shipment immediately gives carriers the best opportunity to bundle your vehicle with others heading out of western Montana. Our AI-verified pricing and 95% carrier securement rate mean your shipment is assignment-ready and more likely to get scheduled within your requested timeframe.

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—especially important in Missoula's variable weather conditions and mountain terrain. Choose enclosed transport for high-value vehicles like classics, luxury cars, or custom builds that need protection from road debris, weather exposure, and the elements. With Sakaem Logistics, all our carriers are FMCSA-licensed with full insurance coverage, giving you peace of mind regardless of which option you select.

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