Best quote I got for an enclosed trailer and was totally worth it! The sales rep was very friendly and professional and so was the driver, kept me informed throughout the process and even delivered a day early to what I was originaly given.
★★★★★
I almost went with another company, but the positive reviews and better pricing convinced me to give these guys a shot. Great communication, professional driver, and an overall easy experience.

Cost factors
What moves the price of a Park City shipment
Season
Winter snow can slow deliveries on I-80 through Parleys Canyon and on I-15 and I-70 in high country, especially from November through March. Snowbird travel can also shift demand on Utah–Florida routes.
Vehicle size
A sedan uses less trailer space than an SUV or crossover; pickups typically need still more room. That makes the larger body style a higher-cost load on the same lane.
Pickup access
Carrier rigs need safe room to turn and load. If a truck cannot reach a narrow street or gated address, the carrier may need to use a nearby open meeting point instead.
Open vs enclosed
Park City's price records cover open transport for running cars; enclosed service adds protection for high-value vehicles and usually costs more. Ask for a quote based on the service you want.

Save money
5 ways to pay less (and wait less)
Plan an accessible Old Town handoff
For an Old Town pickup, ask the carrier to approve a roomy, legal meeting point before dispatch; a large transport truck may not fit your exact street.
Arrange gated access early
If your address is gated in Deer Valley or Empire Pass, send access instructions ahead and name a contact who can meet the driver.
Keep winter dates flexible
During snow season, keep your pickup window flexible and tell dispatch if I-80 through Parleys Canyon is affected.
Document the vehicle's condition
Photograph your vehicle in daylight before pickup, then compare its condition at delivery; Park City snow and road grime can cover small marks.
Clear the cabin
Remove valuables, toll tags, and loose belongings before loading, and keep them with you through the move.

FAQ
Park City car shipping questions
How much does it cost to ship a car to or from Park City?
For open transport of a running vehicle, the middle half of customer quotes on record for shipping from Park City is $975–$1,350; shipping to Park City is $1,000–$1,400. Your exact quote can change with the lane, vehicle size, season, pickup access, and whether you choose enclosed transport.
How long does car shipping to or from Park City take?
Park City's top destination is New York; across the Heber metro, transit estimates are 1–4 days to Dallas and 1–5 days to Austin. Transit starts after pickup; these are estimates, not guarantees. Winter snow can slow mountain routes, including I-80 through Parleys Canyon.
Is my car insured during shipping?
Every carrier SAKAEM arranges is FMCSA-licensed and insured, carrying at least $1,000,000 in liability coverage and $100,000 in cargo insurance. Ask for the carrier's specific policy details and note the vehicle's condition at pickup; the inspection record helps document what the carrier receives.
Can I put personal items in the car?
You may place up to 100 lbs of personal items in the trunk or below the window line. Keep belongings secured and remove valuables, loose items, and anything outside that limit before the carrier arrives. Do not treat the car as a substitute for household-goods shipping.
Can you ship a non-running car?
Yes, SAKAEM can arrange transport for a non-running car if it rolls, brakes, and steers, and a key is available. Tell us its exact condition before booking so the carrier can confirm the loading plan. If it cannot meet those requirements, it does not fit this service.
How do I pay for car shipping?
You can pay by card, or pay the carrier by cash or certified check; Zelle and Venmo are accepted too. Confirm the payment option for your booking ahead of the handoff, and have it ready when the carrier arrives at the agreed time.
Do I need to be present at pickup?
A designated adult must be at pickup and delivery to inspect the car and sign the Bill of Lading. You do not need to be the person there, but arrange someone you trust at both handoffs and make sure they can review the vehicle condition with the driver.
