See our Vehicle Shipping Tips for detailed preparation guidance. For Sioux Falls shipments, we recommend removing toll passes, fragile items, and any interior or exterior accessories that could be damaged in transit. Make sure to have a vehicle key available for our carrier, and note that our digital vehicle inspection process will document your car's condition before departure, so you'll have a clear record of its pre-transit state.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping to or from Sioux Falls. 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, so your vehicle is protected every mile of the journey across South Dakota and beyond.

The sooner, the better. We recommend scheduling your Sioux Falls pickup at least two weeks in advance, though posting your shipment as soon as possible is ideal—this helps carriers in the South Dakota area bundle your vehicle with others heading the same direction, which can improve availability and timing. With our 95% carrier securement rate, we're equipped to find reliable FMCSA-licensed carriers quickly, but early scheduling gives us the best options for your specific needs.

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 in Sioux Falls typically costs at least 50% more than open trailers, but it's the smart choice for high-value vehicles like classics or custom builds that need protection from road debris and South Dakota's variable weather conditions. Open transport works well for standard vehicles and is our most economical option. At Sakaem Logistics, we offer both options with full FMCSA-licensed carriers and complete insurance coverage, so you can choose what fits your vehicle and budget.

Yes, we offer door-to-door auto transport service in Sioux Falls. At booking, simply provide your preferred pickup and delivery addresses in the Sioux Falls area, and our assigned carrier will 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 reaches you conveniently.

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.
