See our Vehicle Shipping Tips for more details about how to prepare your vehicle for shipping. In short, you'll want to remove any Virginia toll pass (like E-ZPass), secure or remove fragile items, ensure you have a key available for the carrier, and take off any interior and exterior accessories that could shift or be damaged during transit. Our digital vehicle inspection process will document your car's condition before pickup, so you'll have clear records throughout the shipping process.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping to or from Virginia Beach. All carriers in 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 that each carrier's insurance is valid and in good standing throughout your shipment, giving you peace of mind whether you're transporting a vehicle to the Naval Station Norfolk area or anywhere else in Virginia Beach.

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% carrier securement rate, booking early ensures we can match you with a reliable, FMCSA-licensed carrier within your requested timeframe.

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 costs at least 50% more than open trailers, but provides essential protection for high-value vehicles like classics or custom paint jobs—especially important for Virginia Beach's coastal climate where salt air and road debris pose real risks. Open transport is the economical choice for standard vehicles making the journey to or from the Hampton Roads area. At Sakaem Logistics, our AI-verified pricing helps you understand exactly what you're paying for, whether you choose open or enclosed, with carriers who actually accept our quotes.

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 pick up and deliver your vehicle directly to those locations. If any transportation restrictions or safety challenges arise, your carrier will work with you to arrange an alternative nearby location, such as a gas station or parking lot. With our real-time tracking and dedicated expert support, you'll have visibility and assistance throughout the entire process.

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.
