★★★★★
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 St George shipment
Season
Snowbird demand can add pressure on Florida-bound moves, while winter snow on I-15 and I-70 in Utah’s high country can slow truck schedules.
Vehicle size
SUVs and pickups use more trailer space than sedans, so their open-transport quotes typically run higher.
Pickup access
Large carriers need room to load safely; tight streets or gated communities around Little Valley or Entrada may require a nearby meeting point and affect dispatch.
Open vs enclosed
Enclosed trailers offer added protection for valuable cars, but tighter capacity and specialized equipment make this option cost more than standard open transport.
Save money
5 ways to pay less (and wait less)
Use your exact route
Give the broker your specific pickup and delivery locations. A St George-to-Miami quote won’t match a move to Salt Lake City.
Keep winter timing flexible
If your move involves Utah’s high-country routes, avoid a tight arrival window during winter and leave room for weather delays.
Share vehicle details early
Name the vehicle type and disclose modifications or mechanical issues before booking so the carrier can plan the right loading setup.
Plan a clear handoff point
If you live in Stone Cliff or Entrada, confirm truck access with your property manager and agree on a roomy nearby meeting spot.
Choose the service to fit the car
For a high-value car, request enclosed transport early. For a daily driver, compare the open option before choosing added protection.

FAQ
St George car shipping questions
How much does it cost to ship a car to or from St George?
On-record quotes for open transport of running cars in St George fall between $1,000–$1,375 outbound and $1,000–$1,475 inbound; these are the middle half of quotes, not a guaranteed price. Your quote depends on lane, vehicle, condition, access, and timing. SAKAEM requires no upfront deposit, and cancellation is free.
How long does car shipping take from St George?
From St George, the road estimate is 1–4 days to Dallas, 1–5 to Austin, 2–6 to Atlanta, and 3–7 to Miami. Transit starts after pickup, and these estimates aren’t guarantees. Winter snow on I-15 and I-70 in Utah’s high country can affect delivery timing.
Is my car insured during transport?
SAKAEM’s carriers are FMCSA-licensed and insured, with at least $1,000,000 in liability coverage and $100,000 in cargo insurance. Before pickup, ask how the carrier’s policy applies to your vehicle, keep a record of its condition, and take clear photos during inspection.
Can I put personal items in the car?
You can leave up to 100 lbs of personal items in the trunk, below the window line. Keep belongings secured and remove valuables, important documents, and anything that could shift. Do not pack the cabin above the windows before the carrier arrives.
Can you ship a car that doesn’t run?
SAKAEM can arrange transport for a non-running car if it rolls, brakes, and steers, and a key is available. Tell us its condition before booking so the carrier can plan suitable loading equipment and pickup access. Inoperable vehicles may need different handling than a car that starts.
How do I pay for car shipping?
You can pay by card, or pay the carrier with cash or a certified check; Zelle and Venmo are accepted too. Confirm the payment method for your booking with SAKAEM ahead of time, and have the selected option ready when it’s due.
Do I need to be there when the car is picked up?
Yes. A designated adult must be at both pickup and delivery to inspect the vehicle and sign the Bill of Lading. If you can’t attend, arrange another adult in advance and make sure they can access the keys and discuss the vehicle with the carrier.
