Reviews
What customers say about shipping with SAKAEM
★★★★★
Needed a car transported from Colorado to Florida and was overwhelmed with offers from various companies. Matthew was extremely helpful in securing transport for me. SAKAEM Logistics is the best transport company. Our car was delivered a day early. Great communication and they do what they say. Thank you for being so professional and easy to work with.
★★★★★
A little late on picking up the vehicle, but absolutely exceeded expectations at getting the vehicle delivered earlier than any of us expected. Car was in perfect shape and the driver (Nicoli) was very patient and pleasant to deal with. Truly changed my mind about shipping a vehicle across country in the future. An amazingly great experience. Worth every penny.
★★★★★
Needed to ship a vehicle from GA to MA and was looking for a local company. Delivery was super fast and I got a great price compared to some others I got online. Appreciate the help!
Cost factors
What moves the price of a Colorado Springs shipment
Season
Winter snow can slow mountain corridors, while seasonal demand for Florida-bound and Florida-origin moves can affect carrier capacity.
Vehicle size
A larger vehicle takes more trailer space and can require different handling. SUVs and pickups typically cost more to move than comparable sedans.
Pickup access
Large carriers need space to turn and load. Narrow streets, restricted parking, or controlled entrances in parts of Colorado Springs can affect the pickup plan.
Open vs enclosed
Open transport carries more vehicles at once, while enclosed service offers added protection with fewer available spaces. That difference affects the quote.

Save money
5 ways to pay less (and wait less)
Keep pickup dates flexible
For an outbound move, allow flexibility around carriers using I-25 so dispatch has more room to match a truck already passing through Colorado Springs.
Choose a truck-friendly meeting point
In Downtown or Old Colorado City, offer a roomy nearby meeting point if your block has tight turns, low branches, or restricted parking.
Match transport to the car
Choose open transport for a standard daily driver; request enclosed service when the car's value or finish merits extra weather and road protection.
Check local routing early
For a move within Colorado, ask about carrier routing before committing to a date; in-state departures are uncommon in Colorado Springs' recorded mix.
Plan for winter roads
For a shipment crossing the mountains in winter, check I-70 conditions before setting your handoff plan and keep the pickup area accessible if snow falls.

FAQ
Colorado Springs car shipping questions
How much does it cost to ship a car to or from Colorado Springs?
For a running vehicle on open transport, typical Colorado Springs quotes on record are $900–$1,150 to ship out and $975–$1,275 to ship in. These figures cover the middle half of customer quotes, not every route. Your destination, vehicle, pickup access, and timing shape the quote you receive.
How long does car shipping take?
On Colorado Springs lanes, Los Angeles is estimated at 1–4 days, Seattle at 1–5, Washington, DC and New York at 2–6, and Miami at 3–7. Transit starts after pickup, and estimates aren't guarantees. Weather and routing can affect the trip, especially when winter conditions slow mountain roads.
Is my car insured during transport?
SAKAEM carriers are FMCSA-licensed and insured, with at least $1,000,000 in liability coverage and $100,000 in cargo insurance. Ask for your carrier's coverage details before pickup. At handoff, review the vehicle condition with the driver and make sure any existing damage is noted on the inspection paperwork.
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 belongings secured and within that limit, and avoid packing valuables or household goods. Tell the carrier in advance if you plan to leave anything in the vehicle so the loading team knows what to expect.
Can you ship a non-running car?
SAKAEM can ship a non-running vehicle if it rolls, brakes, and steers, and you provide a key. Disclose the condition when you request a quote so the carrier can plan the right loading equipment. Also confirm the pickup spot has room for the truck and loading gear.
How do I pay for car shipping?
Payment options include card, or cash or certified check paid to the carrier; Zelle and Venmo are also accepted. Confirm the accepted method with your carrier before pickup, and have payment ready at the agreed handoff. Do not assume every driver can process the same option.
Do I need to be present at pickup?
A designated adult must be present at pickup and delivery to inspect the vehicle and sign the Bill of Lading. If you cannot be there, arrange another adult ahead of time and share the pickup details. Have them compare the car with the condition report before signing.
