See our Vehicle Shipping Tips for comprehensive preparation details. For Albuquerque shipments, we recommend removing toll passes, fragile items, and any interior or exterior accessories that could shift during transit across New Mexico's varied terrain. Make sure a valid key is available for our carrier, and note that our digital vehicle inspection process will document your car's condition before pickup—so removing personal items also protects your privacy.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping to or from Albuquerque. 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, so you can ship with confidence.

The sooner, the better. We recommend scheduling your Albuquerque 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 heading through New Mexico and the Southwest, which can improve availability and pricing. With our 95% carrier securement rate, early scheduling helps ensure we lock in a reliable carrier 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 protection from Albuquerque's high desert elements—including dust storms, intense UV exposure, and road debris. Choose enclosed transport for high-value vehicles like classics or custom-painted cars that need maximum protection during transit. With Sakaem Logistics, our FMCSA-licensed carriers handle both options with full insurance coverage and real-time tracking, so you'll know your vehicle is secure every step of the way.

Yes, we offer door-to-door auto transport service in Albuquerque. At booking, simply provide your preferred pickup and delivery addresses in the Albuquerque area, and our assigned carrier 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 gas station or parking lot, ensuring your car shipping experience remains convenient and hassle-free.

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.
