Before pickup, prepare your vehicle with these simple steps:

• Remove personal items, valuables, and fragile accessories from the cabin, trunk, and glove box.
• Remove toll tags, parking passes, and loose exterior items such as antennas, bike racks, and spoilers.
• Wash the vehicle and take clear photos of its condition, including any existing dents or scratches.
• Make sure the carrier has the keys needed to move the vehicle. If the car has an alarm, disable it or provide instructions.
• Leave only a small amount of fuel in the tank, unless your carrier gives different instructions.
• Check that the tires are properly inflated and tell the carrier about any mechanical problems or modifications.

Keep your registration, insurance, and other shipping paperwork ready. At pickup, review the vehicle inspection report with the driver and keep a copy until delivery.

Yes. When you ship with Sakaem Logistics, your vehicle is covered by the carrier’s insurance during transport from Georgia to California. Our quotes are all-inclusive. Every carrier must carry at least $1 million in liability insurance and $100,000 in cargo insurance. We also verify that the carrier’s policy is valid and in good standing for your shipment.

Coverage is subject to the policy’s terms and exclusions. It generally covers damage caused during transport, but personal items left inside the vehicle may not be covered. Before pickup, inspect your vehicle with the driver and take photos of its condition. For more planning tips, read our cross-country car shipping guide.

For a Georgia-to-California shipment, try to schedule pickup at least two weeks in advance. Booking sooner gives carriers more time to plan the long route and may improve the chance of matching your vehicle with other shipments.

Keep in mind that pickup dates are usually a time window, not an exact appointment. If you have a firm deadline, schedule as early as possible and allow extra time for traffic, weather, or carrier changes. Read more about the car shipping process.

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.

Open transport is the standard and usually less expensive option for shipping a car from Georgia to California. Your vehicle travels on an uncovered trailer with other cars, so it may be exposed to rain, dust, and road debris. This is a good choice for most daily drivers, SUVs, and trucks. Some dirt on arrival is normal.

Enclosed transport moves your car inside a covered trailer. It provides more protection from weather and road debris, but it costs more because enclosed trailers carry fewer vehicles. The price is often at least 50% higher than open transport, though the exact quote depends on the car, timing, and pickup and delivery locations.

Enclosed shipping may be worth the extra cost for a classic, exotic, luxury, restored, or custom-painted vehicle. For either option, inspect and photograph the car at pickup and delivery, and review the shipping paperwork. In short: choose open transport for value and convenience; choose enclosed transport when added protection matters most.

Yes. Sakaem Logistics offers door-to-door car shipping from Georgia to California. When you book, provide your preferred pickup and delivery addresses. The carrier will bring your vehicle as close to each address as safely and legally possible.

Some neighborhoods have narrow streets, low branches, weight limits, or other access restrictions. In those cases, the carrier will arrange a nearby pickup or delivery point, such as a parking lot or gas station. This keeps the process safe while still making your shipment convenient.
