See our Vehicle Shipping Tips for more details about how to prepare your vehicle for shipping. In short, you'll want to remove any E-ZPass toll devices (common in Virginia Beach), fragile items, and interior/exterior accessories that could be damaged in transit. Make sure you have a key available for the carrier, and our team will handle the rest with real-time tracking and a digital vehicle inspection to document your car's condition before pickup.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping to or from Virginia Beach. All carriers transporting your car through Virginia are required to maintain 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 in good standing throughout your shipment, giving you peace of mind as your vehicle moves through the Hampton Roads area.

The sooner, the better. We recommend scheduling your Virginia Beach pickup at least two weeks in advance, though posting your shipment immediately gives carriers the best opportunity to bundle your vehicle with others heading out of this major port city. With our 95% successful carrier securement rate, early scheduling helps us match you with the right carrier quickly and reliably.

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 smart choice for high-value vehicles like classics or custom builds that need protection from road debris and Virginia Beach's coastal weather conditions. Open transport is a reliable, budget-friendly option for standard vehicles making the journey to or from the Hampton Roads area. At Sakaem Logistics, our FMCSA-licensed carriers handle both options with full insurance coverage and real-time tracking, so you'll know your vehicle is secure every step of the way.

Yes, we offer door-to-door auto transport service in Virginia Beach. At booking, simply provide your preferred pickup and delivery addresses anywhere in the Virginia Beach area, and our assigned carrier will transport your vehicle directly between those locations. If any transportation restrictions or safety challenges arise—such as narrow residential streets or limited access in certain Virginia Beach neighborhoods—our carrier will work with you to arrange a nearby alternative, like a local gas station or parking lot, ensuring a seamless pickup and delivery experience.

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.
