Reviews
What customers say about shipping with SAKAEM
★★★★★
I was extremely pleased with the price, communication and efficiency transporting my car with Sakaem Logistics. The driver who picked up my car was a little unprofessional in complaining about how much he was making from the trip. But that did not spoil my experience.
★★★★★
Vadim was on time and very careful with my vehicle. I will use this service again in the future.
★★★★★
We had a communication breakdown initially, but everything worked out well! 10/10 service!
Cost factors
What moves the price of a Greenwich shipment
Season
Winter snow and nor'easters from about December through March can slow routes into coastal Connecticut. Late-summer hurricanes or tropical storms may also disrupt schedules.
Vehicle size
SUVs and crossovers take up more trailer space than sedans, which can raise the quote. A vehicle's condition can also affect the equipment and handling needed.
Pickup access
Narrow residential streets or gated entrances in Greenwich can limit where a carrier safely loads. Truck access and room to turn may affect the quote.
Open vs enclosed
Enclosed trailers protect high-value cars from road debris and weather, but they cost more than open transport. Open carriers are a practical fit for many everyday vehicles.

Save money
5 ways to pay less (and wait less)
Choose the right trailer
Pick open transport for an everyday car if added weather protection is not a priority; reserve enclosed service for a classic or high-value vehicle.
Pick an accessible meeting point
Offer a wide, accessible spot near I-95 or US-1 if your Greenwich street, gated drive, or residential entrance is hard for a carrier to enter.
Keep dates flexible
For a Florida-to-Greenwich move, keep dates flexible around snowbird season and ask SAKAEM to coordinate a pickup window that works with your arrival.
Share your deadline early
For a Greenwich-to-Los Angeles shipment, tell SAKAEM your deadline early so dispatch can plan around the cross-country route.
Send access details ahead
Share exact addresses, gate instructions, and a backup meeting point before dispatch to avoid last-minute changes in Greenwich's residential areas.

FAQ
Greenwich car shipping questions
How much does it cost to ship a car to or from Greenwich?
For open transport of a running vehicle, Greenwich's typical outbound quote range is $875–$1,250 and inbound range is $1,000–$1,375. These are the middle half of customer quotes on record, not a guaranteed price. Your quote can change with the route, vehicle, condition, pickup access, and trailer type.
How long does car shipping take?
Typical road time starts after pickup, and estimates are not guarantees. For Greenwich's top destination, Los Angeles, the Bridgeport metro estimate is 4–10 days; Miami is 1–5 days across the Bridgeport metro. Pickup timing is separate, so plan around your carrier's confirmed collection date.
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 the carrier's insurance details before pickup, and photograph the vehicle's condition with the driver on the Bill of Lading. Transport coverage is separate from your Connecticut personal auto policy.
Can I put 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 leave valuables, loose items, and anything that blocks the driver's view out of the car. Tell your coordinator if you plan to ship items so you can prepare the vehicle.
Can you ship a non-running car?
SAKAEM can arrange transport for a non-running vehicle if it rolls, brakes, and steers, and a key is available. Tell us about the car's condition before booking so the carrier can plan for loading. If it cannot roll, brake, or steer, share that upfront so you can check available options.
How do I pay for car shipping?
You can pay by card, or pay the carrier by cash or certified check; Zelle and Venmo are accepted. Confirm the accepted method with your coordinator before pickup so you know how payment will be handled. Have your payment ready when the carrier arrives, and ask about a preferred method during booking.
Do I need to be present at pickup and delivery?
Yes. A designated adult must be present at both pickup and delivery to inspect the vehicle and sign the Bill of Lading. If you cannot be there, choose someone you trust before the truck arrives and make sure they can access the keys and review the vehicle's condition.
