See our Vehicle Shipping Tips for detailed preparation guidance. For Reno shipments, we recommend removing toll passes, fragile items, and any interior or exterior accessories that could shift during transit across Nevada's varied terrain. Make sure you have a key available for your carrier, and note that our digital vehicle inspection process will document your car's condition before pickup—so having it clean and accessible helps streamline the process.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping to or from Reno. All carriers transporting your car through Nevada are required to maintain a minimum of $1,000,000 in liability insurance and $100,000 in cargo insurance. We verify every carrier's FMCSA license and insurance policy is valid and in good standing before your shipment departs, giving you peace of mind throughout your transport.

The sooner, the better. We recommend scheduling your Reno 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 the Reno area. With our 95% carrier securement rate, early scheduling increases the likelihood of locking in your preferred pickup window.

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—especially important in Reno's high desert climate where dust storms and road debris pose real risks. Open transport works well for standard vehicles and is our most popular option for shipping to and from the Reno area. With Sakaem Logistics, you'll get transparent pricing upfront and real-time tracking so you know exactly how your vehicle is protected, regardless of which option you choose.

Yes, we offer door-to-door auto transport service in Reno. At booking, simply provide your preferred pickup and delivery addresses in the Reno area, and our FMCSA-licensed carrier will transport your vehicle directly between those locations whenever possible. If access restrictions or safety concerns arise, your dedicated 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.
