See our Vehicle Shipping Tips for more details about how to prepare your vehicle for shipping. In short, you'll want to remove any toll pass or fragile items, make sure you have a key available to provide the carrier, and remove any interior and exterior accessories that could be damaged in transit. If you're shipping from Norfolk's port area or nearby, our team will confirm these details during your digital vehicle inspection to ensure a smooth pickup.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping to or from Norfolk. All carriers on 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 each carrier's insurance is valid and active before your shipment departs Norfolk, giving you peace of mind throughout transport.

The sooner, the better. We recommend scheduling your Norfolk pickup at least two weeks in advance, though posting your shipment immediately gives carriers the best opportunity to bundle your vehicle with others heading through the Hampton Roads area. Our 95% carrier securement rate means your shipment gets assigned quickly when you book early. Norfolk's busy port and logistics hub status makes advance scheduling especially valuable for securing reliable pickup dates.

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 typically costs at least 50% more than open trailers, but it's the right choice for high-value vehicles like classics or custom-painted cars that need protection from Norfolk's coastal weather and road debris. Open transport is reliable and cost-effective for standard vehicles, while enclosed keeps your car in showroom condition. At Sakaem Logistics, all our carriers—whether open or enclosed—are FMCSA-licensed with full insurance coverage, and you'll get real-time tracking so you know exactly where your vehicle is throughout the Norfolk shipment.

Yes, we offer door-to-door auto transport service throughout Norfolk and the surrounding Hampton Roads area. When you book with us, simply provide your preferred pickup and delivery addresses in Norfolk, and our assigned carrier will pick up and deliver your vehicle directly to those locations whenever possible. If there are any transportation restrictions or safety challenges specific to your Norfolk address, our carrier will work with you to arrange an alternative nearby location, such as a local gas station or parking lot, ensuring a seamless experience from start to finish.

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.
