See our Vehicle Shipping Tips for detailed preparation guidance. For Kennewick shipments, we recommend removing toll passes, fragile items, and any interior or exterior accessories that could shift during transit on the I-90 corridor. Make sure you have a vehicle key available for our carrier and document your vehicle's condition with our digital inspection tool before pickup—this protects you throughout the shipping process.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping to or from Kennewick. All of our FMCSA-licensed carriers 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, so you can have peace of mind knowing your vehicle is protected during transport to the Tri-Cities area.

The sooner, the better. We recommend scheduling your Kennewick pickup at least two weeks in advance, though posting your shipment earlier is ideal so carriers can bundle your vehicle with others heading through the Pacific Northwest corridor. With our 95% carrier securement rate, booking early gives us the best chance to match your shipment 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 it's the smart choice for high-value vehicles like classics or custom-painted cars that need protection from road debris and weather during transport to or from Kennewick. Open transport is budget-friendly and works well for standard vehicles making the trip through Eastern Washington's highways. At Sakaem Logistics, our AI-verified pricing ensures you get transparent quotes upfront, so you can choose the right option for your vehicle and budget without surprises.

Yes, we offer door-to-door auto transport service in Kennewick. At booking, simply provide your preferred pickup and delivery addresses in the Kennewick area, and our assigned carrier will deliver directly to those locations whenever possible. If any transportation restrictions or safety challenges arise, your carrier will work with you to arrange an alternative nearby location, such as a local gas station or parking lot, ensuring your vehicle gets where it needs to go.

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.
