Cost factors
What moves the price of a Bremerton shipment
Season
Winter snow and ice can close Snoqualmie Pass on I-90 and Stevens Pass, affecting shipments between western and eastern Washington. Snowbird travel can also change carrier availability on long-distance lanes.
Vehicle size
Sedans, SUVs, pickups, and vans take up different amounts of trailer space and weight capacity. Larger vehicles can cost more to transport, while enclosed carriers charge more for added protection and limited capacity.
Pickup access
Tight streets or limited truck access in parts of Manette and Downtown may require a nearby handoff point. Extra maneuvering or a changed route can affect the quote.
Open vs enclosed
Open transport is a common choice for everyday vehicles. Enclosed service costs more because it protects a car from weather and road exposure, and can suit a high-value or collector vehicle.

Save money
5 ways to pay less (and wait less)
Choose an easy handoff
If a carrier cannot reach your street in Manette or Downtown, offer a wider meeting spot near SR 3 or SR 16 and confirm it before pickup.
Plan around pass conditions
For an east-west Washington move in winter, check conditions at Snoqualmie Pass and Stevens Pass before settling on a handoff date.
Share the full delivery address
For a car arriving from California or Florida, provide the exact delivery address and target date early so the carrier can plan the final leg into Kitsap County.
Prepare the vehicle condition report
Before pickup, photograph the car and note its condition with the driver on the Bill of Lading. Keep a copy for your records.
Leave room for route planning
If your dates are flexible on a long-distance move, tell the coordinator. A wider pickup window can give the carrier more room to fit your Bremerton stop into its route.

FAQ
Bremerton car shipping questions
How much does it cost to ship a car to or from Bremerton?
For open transport of a running vehicle, quotes from Bremerton typically fall between $1,275 and $1,675; quotes to Bremerton typically fall between $1,250 and $1,725. These ranges reflect the middle half of quotes on record, not a promised rate. Your route, vehicle, access, timing, and transport type shape your quote.
How long does car shipping take?
For Bremerton routes, Los Angeles typically takes 1–4 days on the road after pickup, Phoenix 1–5 days, and Virginia Beach 4–10 days. These are estimates, not guarantees; transit starts after pickup. Ask your carrier to confirm the trip schedule.
Is my car insured during transport?
Carriers SAKAEM books are FMCSA-licensed and insured, with at least $1,000,000 in liability coverage and $100,000 in cargo insurance. Ask which carrier is assigned and what its policy covers, then review the vehicle condition report at handoff. Your own auto policy is separate, so check with your insurer about coverage during transport.
Can I leave personal items in the car?
SAKAEM allows up to 100 lbs of personal items in the trunk or below the window line. Keep items secured and leave out valuables, documents, and anything you need during the move. Tell your coordinator what you plan to leave in the car so the carrier can confirm it before pickup.
Can you ship a non-running car?
Yes. SAKAEM can arrange shipment for a non-running vehicle if it rolls, brakes, and steers, and you provide a key. Tell us upfront that it does not start and whether it can be moved into position; loading equipment and access can affect the plan.
How do I pay for car shipping?
SAKAEM accepts card payments; you can also pay the carrier by cash or certified check. Zelle and Venmo are accepted as well. Confirm which option applies to your booking before pickup, and have the chosen payment method ready at handoff.
Do I need to be present at pickup?
A designated adult must be there at both pickup and delivery to inspect the vehicle and sign the Bill of Lading. It does not have to be you; choose someone who can compare the car's condition, note any changes, and hand over or receive the keys. Make sure that person has the shipment details.
