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 cross-country journey from Orlando to Los Angeles is straightforward. Here's what you need to do:

Clean your car inside and out. This helps you document any existing damage with photos before shipping. It also makes the carrier's inspection easier.

Remove personal items. Take out toll passes, garage door openers, and any loose items. Insurance typically doesn't cover personal belongings during transit.

Check fluid levels and tire pressure. Your car needs to be in running condition for loading and unloading. Fix any leaks before shipping.

Disable alarms. Car alarms can drain your battery during the 5-7 day trip across the country.

Leave only a quarter tank of gas. This reduces weight and meets carrier safety requirements.

Provide a spare key. The driver needs access to your vehicle for loading, unloading, and repositioning.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured during transport from Orlando, FL to Los Angeles, CA. At Sakaem Logistics, we require all our carriers to maintain a minimum of $1,000,000 in liability insurance and $100,000 in cargo insurance.

Before your shipment begins, we verify that the carrier's insurance policy is active and in good standing. This coverage protects your vehicle throughout the entire cross-country journey from Florida to California.

What's covered: The cargo insurance covers damage to your vehicle that occurs during loading, transport, and unloading. The liability insurance provides additional protection for accidents or incidents on the road.

You'll receive the carrier's insurance information before pickup, so you have documentation and peace of mind. If you have questions about coverage or want to review the insurance certificate, our team is happy to help.

We recommend scheduling your car shipping from Orlando to Los Angeles at least 1-2 weeks in advance. However, booking earlier gives you the best results.

Here's why early booking helps:

• Better pricing: Carriers can plan routes more efficiently and often offer lower rates
• More carrier options: You'll have access to more available drivers on this popular cross-country route
• Flexible timing: You can choose pickup dates that work best for your schedule
• Route bundling: Carriers can combine your shipment with others heading west, which saves everyone money

That said, we understand plans change. If you need faster service, we can often arrange pickup within 2-5 days. Just keep in mind that rush orders may cost more.

Bottom line: Book as soon as you know your moving dates. Even if those dates are a month away, early planning means better service and better prices for your Orlando to LA car shipment.

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.

When shipping your car from Orlando, FL to Los Angeles, CA, you have two main options:

Open Auto Transport is the most popular and budget-friendly choice. Your vehicle travels on an open-air trailer (like the ones you see hauling cars on highways). It's exposed to weather and road debris, but it's perfectly safe for most vehicles. This option typically costs 40-60% less than enclosed transport.

Enclosed Auto Transport provides full protection inside a covered trailer. Your car is shielded from weather, dust, and road debris during the cross-country journey. This is ideal for:

• Classic or vintage cars
• Luxury and exotic vehicles
• Cars with custom paint jobs
• Collectible automobiles
• Vehicles requiring maximum protection

For the Orlando to Los Angeles route (roughly 2,500 miles), most customers choose open transport. It's reliable, safe, and saves money. However, if you're shipping a high-value vehicle or want complete peace of mind, enclosed transport is worth the extra cost.

At Sakaem Logistics, we offer both options at competitive rates. We'll help you choose the best method based on your vehicle type and budget.

Yes! Sakaem Logistics offers convenient door-to-door auto transport service from Orlando, FL to Los Angeles, CA. This means we'll pick up your vehicle from your home, office, or any address you specify in Orlando and deliver it directly to your desired location in Los Angeles.

Here's how it works: When you book your shipment, simply provide us with your preferred pickup and delivery addresses. Our assigned carrier will come directly to those locations to load and unload your vehicle. No need to drive to a terminal or drop-off center.

Important note: In some cases, large car carriers may not be able to access certain residential streets due to low-hanging trees, narrow roads, or tight turns. If your location has any restrictions, our driver will contact you to arrange a safe, nearby meeting spot like a grocery store parking lot or gas station. This is rare, but we always prioritize safety and work with you to find the most convenient alternative.

Door-to-door service is included in most of our quotes at no extra charge, making your cross-country move from Orlando to Los Angeles as hassle-free as possible.

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.
