Our team has been in the car shipping industry for a long time. We worked for some of the largest brokers and knew there was a better way to do things.

So we set out to create a company that would be different. We want to walk you through how the process works and we guarantee to match any price you hear from a competitor.

We're a scrappy team that looks forward to earning your business.

Preparing your vehicle for the 1,500-mile journey from NYC to Dallas is crucial for a smooth shipping experience. Here's your essential checklist:

Clean and Document: Wash your car inside and out, then take photos from all angles. This helps identify any damage that might occur during transit.

Remove Personal Items: Take out all belongings, including toll passes (E-ZPass), GPS devices, and loose items. Carriers aren't responsible for personal property, and extra weight can increase costs.

Check Fluids and Battery: Ensure your car has enough gas (about 1/4 tank), oil, and coolant. Make sure the battery is charged and connections are tight.

Secure or Remove Accessories: Remove or tighten loose parts like spoilers, bike racks, or custom mirrors that could be damaged on the highway.

Disable Alarms: Turn off car alarms to prevent issues during loading and transport.

Provide Working Keys: Have at least one spare key ready for the carrier.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured during transport from New York City to Dallas. At Sakaem Logistics, we require all our carriers to maintain $1,000,000 in liability insurance and $100,000 in cargo insurance - well above industry minimums.

Before your NYC to Dallas shipment begins, we verify that your carrier's insurance is active and valid. This covers potential damage during loading, transport, and delivery. You'll receive insurance documentation with your carrier assignment.

Pro tip: Take photos of your vehicle before pickup in New York City. This helps document your car's condition and speeds up any insurance claims if needed.

Unlike the big brokers who cut corners, we've maintained these high insurance standards since 2012. Your peace of mind matters on this 1,500+ mile journey to Texas.

For shipping your car from New York City to Dallas, we recommend booking at least 2-3 weeks in advance. This gives you the best chance to secure competitive rates and reliable carriers.

Here's why early booking matters:

• Better pricing: Carriers can plan efficient routes and bundle your car with other vehicles heading to Texas
• More carrier options: Popular routes like NYC to Dallas fill up quickly, especially during peak seasons
• Flexible scheduling: You'll have more control over pickup and delivery dates

If you're moving during busy times (summer months, holidays, or college seasons), consider booking 4-6 weeks ahead. Need to ship last-minute? We can still help, but expect higher costs and limited carrier availability.

Pro tip: The earlier you book with Sakaem Logistics, the more time we have to find you the perfect carrier match at the best price.

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.

Open transport is the most common and budget-friendly option for shipping your car from New York City to Dallas. Your vehicle travels on an open trailer alongside other cars, exposed to weather and road debris. This method costs significantly less and works well for everyday vehicles.

Enclosed transport protects your car inside a covered trailer, shielding it from weather, dust, and road debris during the 1,400-mile journey to Dallas. This premium service typically costs 40-60% more than open transport but provides maximum protection for luxury cars, classics, or vehicles with custom modifications.

Choose open transport if: You have a standard daily driver and want to save money while still getting reliable service.

Choose enclosed transport if: Your vehicle is worth over $50,000, has a custom paint job, or holds special sentimental value that makes the extra cost worthwhile for peace of mind.

Both options are safe and insured. At Sakaem Logistics, we help you pick the right choice based on your car's value and your budget for this NYC to Dallas route.

Yes, we offer convenient door-to-door auto transport service from New York City, NY to Dallas, TX. When you book with Sakaem Logistics, we'll ask for your pickup address in NYC and your delivery address in Dallas.

Our assigned carrier will pick up your vehicle directly from your home, office, or preferred location in New York City and deliver it right to your door in Dallas. This saves you time and hassle compared to terminal-to-terminal shipping.

Important note: If your street has low-hanging branches, narrow roads, or parking restrictions that make it unsafe for our large transport trucks, don't worry. Our experienced drivers will work with you to find a nearby safe location like a shopping center or gas station within a reasonable distance of your address.

Door-to-door service is included in our standard pricing for the NYC to Dallas route, making it both convenient and cost-effective for your cross-country move.

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.
