Cost factors
What moves the price of a Boca Raton shipment
Season
Florida's Atlantic hurricane season runs June 1 to November 30; storms or evacuations can delay Boca Raton pickups and deliveries, especially August through October.
Vehicle size
A larger SUV/crossover or pickup takes more trailer room than a sedan, so Boca Raton open quotes typically rise with vehicle size.
Pickup access
Gated entries and tight streets can limit carrier access at Boca Raton addresses. A truck may need a safe, open meeting spot instead of door-to-door service.
Open vs enclosed
Open transport is the common lower-cost option. Enclosed transport costs more and adds protection from road exposure, which can suit a high-value car.
Save money
5 ways to pay less (and wait less)
Plan the New York handoff
New York is Boca Raton's leading outbound destination on record. If that's your route, confirm an accessible delivery meeting point with the recipient before dispatch.
Clear gated-community access
If your Boca address is in a gated community, arrange gate clearance and name an onsite contact before the carrier arrives.
Agree on a truck meeting point
Share cross streets and a clear meeting location for your Boca address, especially if the carrier will approach via I-95, US-1, or Yamato Road.
Keep a weather backup
During storm season, keep a backup pickup or delivery date and contact ready in case weather or access changes disrupt the plan.
Get a route-specific quote
For a Florida-only move to a nearby city such as Delray Beach or Fort Lauderdale, request a route-specific quote; in-state Boca departures are rare on record.

FAQ
Boca Raton car shipping questions
How much does it cost to ship a car to or from Boca Raton?
For Boca Raton shipments, typical open-transport quotes for a running vehicle are $900–$1,300 going out and $900–$1,200 coming in. These are the middle half of customer quotes on record, not guaranteed prices; route, vehicle size, access, and transport type affect your quote. Boca Raton's typical outbound quote is about $50 higher than across the Miami metro overall.
How long does car shipping take from Boca Raton?
From Boca Raton, the New York lane is typically 1–5 days on the road after pickup; Boston is 2–6 days, and Los Angeles is 4–9 days. These are transit estimates, not guarantees, and the transit clock starts after the carrier picks up your car. Pickup scheduling is separate.
Are cars insured during transport?
SAKAEM's carriers are FMCSA-licensed and insured, with at least $1,000,000 in liability coverage and $100,000 in cargo insurance. At pickup and delivery, review the car's condition with the driver and make sure existing marks are noted on the Bill of Lading before you sign.
Can I pack personal items in the car?
Yes. SAKAEM allows up to 100 lbs of personal items in the trunk or below the window line. Keep belongings secured and within that limit; remove valuables and anything you need before loading. Personal items are not allowed on Hawaii ocean shipments.
Can you ship a non-running car?
Yes. SAKAEM can ship a non-running vehicle if it rolls, brakes, and steers, and you provide a key. Tell us the vehicle's condition before booking so the carrier can plan for loading. If it cannot roll, brake, or steer, it does not meet SAKAEM's stated requirement for non-running shipments.
How can I pay for car shipping?
SAKAEM accepts card payments; you can also pay the carrier by cash or certified check, and Zelle or Venmo are accepted. Confirm the payment instructions for your shipment before pickup, then have the agreed method ready at the handoff so the carrier knows what to expect.
Do I need to be present at pickup?
Yes. A designated adult must be present at both pickup and delivery to inspect the car and sign the Bill of Lading. If you can't attend, arrange for someone else to meet the carrier, review the vehicle's condition, and handle the handoff on your behalf.
