Distance & lane
In-state moves are rare among cars leaving Frisco, so many shipments need a longer route. Carrier miles and time on the road help explain why a coast-to-coast trip can cost more than a nearby move.

Reviews
What customers say about shipping with SAKAEM
★★★★★
Sakaem Logistics transported my son's Acura from Los Angeles, CA to Waco, Texas in 5 days. Tim, who drove the transport was professional and courteous and kept communications prior to pickup and close to delivery time. Everything went smoothly with no issues. Price was competitive with other firms. I will use Sakaem again and highly recommend them for your transport needs.
★★★★★
Simply amazing. This company and the driver were phenomenal in making this a smooth process. Exceeded all expectations, not the least of which was the quick delivery. Fast Friendly and easy service. Will definitely use them again in the future. Worth every penny.
★★★★★
A little late on picking up the vehicle, but absolutely exceeded expectations at getting the vehicle delivered earlier than any of us expected. Car was in perfect shape and the driver (Nicoli) was very patient and pleasant to deal with. Truly changed my mind about shipping a vehicle across country in the future. An amazingly great experience. Worth every penny.
Cost factors
What moves the price of a Frisco shipment
Season
Atlantic hurricane season, from June 1 to November 30, can disrupt Gulf Coast routes through Houston, Galveston, or Corpus Christi. Rare winter ice can also close highways in North and Central Texas.
Vehicle size
SUVs, crossovers, and pickups use more trailer space and weight capacity than sedans, which pushes their typical transport cost up. Vehicle dimensions can also affect loading options.
Pickup access
A narrow street or gated entrance in Frisco can keep a car hauler from reaching your exact address. Extra maneuvering or a required nearby meeting point can change the carrier’s work and price.
Open vs enclosed
Open transport is a lower-cost fit for many everyday cars. Enclosed trailers protect high-value vehicles from weather and road exposure, but that added protection and limited trailer space raise quotes.

Save money
5 ways to pay less (and wait less)
Plan an easy meeting point
Share your exact Frisco pickup address early. If your street has tight turns or gated access, agree on a safe nearby meeting point before dispatch.
Keep your dates flexible
Offer a flexible pickup window when you can; it gives dispatch room to match your car with a carrier route through the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
Describe the exact vehicle
Name the vehicle type and whether it runs when requesting a quote. This helps avoid a quote built around the wrong loading needs.
Choose service for the car
For a daily driver, price open transport first. Choose enclosed service if the added protection makes sense for your vehicle.
Share delivery details early
For a car coming from California, Washington, or Florida, provide the Frisco address and preferred dates early so the carrier can plan the final approach.

Moving to Frisco
Your Texas car checklist
A move to Frisco also means handling Texas title and registration steps. Check the Collin County requirements before you head to the tax office.
Register after moving
New Texas residents must register their car within 30 days of moving to the state or may face penalty fees [TxDMV].
Prepare title paperwork
Get Texas car insurance first. Take your out-of-state title or registration, completed Form 130-U, ID, and proof of insurance to the county tax office. If no emissions test is required, confirm the VIN on Form 130-U [TxDMV].
Check emissions in Collin County
Collin County is on Texas’s emissions-testing list, so your car must pass an emissions test before registration [TxDMV].
Know the safety inspection rule
Since January 1, 2025, regular non-commercial cars no longer need a Texas safety inspection. Registering still includes a $7.50 inspection-program replacement fee [TxDMV].
Set liability coverage
Texas requires at least 30/60/25 liability coverage: $30,000 per injured person, up to $60,000 per accident, and $25,000 for property damage [TDI].

FAQ
Frisco car shipping questions
How much does it cost to ship a car to or from Frisco?
For a running vehicle on open transport, typical Frisco quotes are $725–$1,025 outbound and $875–$1,150 inbound; these represent the middle half of customer quotes on record. Your route, vehicle size, pickup access, and transport type affect the quote. Use the details that match your move when comparing options.
How long does car shipping from Frisco take?
Frisco to Los Angeles typically takes 2–6 days on the road, and Frisco to Miami takes 1–5 days. Transit estimates start after pickup and are not guarantees; pickup scheduling comes before road time. Weather and carrier routing can also affect arrival, especially during Gulf Coast hurricane season or when winter ice affects North Texas highways.
Is my car insured during transport?
SAKAEM works with FMCSA-licensed and insured carriers, each carrying at least $1,000,000 in liability coverage and $100,000 in cargo insurance. Before loading, walk around the vehicle with the driver and make sure its condition is clearly noted on the Bill of Lading.
Can I put personal items in the car?
SAKAEM allows up to 100 lbs of personal items in the trunk or below the window line. Keep items secured and avoid packing valuables or anything that could shift during loading. Personal items are not allowed on Hawaii ocean shipments. If you plan to leave belongings in the car, tell the broker before pickup.
Can you ship a non-running car?
SAKAEM can ship a non-running car if it rolls, brakes, and steers, and you provide a key. Tell us its condition before booking so the carrier can plan the loading. If it will not roll, brake, or steer, ask about options before dispatch rather than assuming it can move under the standard non-running service.
How do I pay for car shipping?
SAKAEM requires no upfront deposit and offers free cancellation. You can pay by card, or pay the carrier by cash or certified check; Zelle and Venmo are also accepted. Confirm which method applies to your booking before pickup so you know what is due to SAKAEM and what is paid directly to the carrier.
Do I need to be present at pickup?
A designated adult must be present at pickup and delivery to inspect the car and sign the Bill of Lading. If you cannot attend, choose a trusted adult and share the pickup details with them in advance. Ask them to walk around the vehicle with the driver and note any condition concerns before signing.
