I was skeptical of all shipping companies but pleasantly 😮 surprised with Sakaem. They gave me a reasonable quote for shipping my car across country and lived up to their quote. They followed through on securing a driver and picked up my carb3 days after booking. My car arrived at destination intact and the driver kept me advised of locations. Everyone I dealt with from the beginning were helpful and courteous.
Cost factors
What moves the price of a Fort Pierce shipment
Season
Snowbird moves can increase competition for carrier space in South Florida. Atlantic hurricane season runs June 1 to November 30; storms or evacuations can disrupt Fort Pierce pickups and deliveries, especially from August through October.
Vehicle size
Pickup trucks need more trailer space than sedans and typically quote higher. Crossovers tend to sit nearer sedan pricing on open transport.
Pickup access
Narrow streets or gated entries in Downtown Fort Pierce, Lincoln Park, or the Peacock Arts District can limit truck access and require a different meeting point, adding coordination to pickup.
Open vs enclosed
Open carriers move more cars at once, so they’re a common lower-cost fit for everyday vehicles. Enclosed transport costs more and offers added protection for high-value, classic, or low-clearance cars.

Save money
5 ways to pay less (and wait less)
Keep your dates flexible
If you can choose dates, keep the pickup window flexible during snowbird moves and check storm updates during Florida’s Atlantic hurricane season before confirming a handoff.
Plan a clear meeting point
In Downtown Fort Pierce, Lincoln Park, or the Peacock Arts District, arrange a roomy, legal meeting point ahead of time if your street or gate cannot fit a carrier truck.
Match service to the car
Choose open service for routine transportation; reserve enclosed transport for a high-value, classic, or especially vulnerable car.
Record the car’s condition
Photograph the vehicle at handoff and note its condition on the Bill of Lading. Keep a copy to compare at delivery.
Organize Florida paperwork
If you’re arriving from out of state, keep your title and insurance proof together for the St. Lucie County tax collector after the required VIN inspection.

FAQ
Fort Pierce car shipping questions
How much does car shipping to or from Fort Pierce cost?
For an open, running vehicle, typical quotes from Fort Pierce are $750–$1,150 outbound and $875–$1,200 inbound. These ranges reflect the middle half of customer quotes on record. Your route, vehicle size, pickup access, season, and transport type can move the final quote, so share the full route and vehicle details when you request pricing.
How long does car shipping take?
Fort Pierce’s recorded lane estimates are 0–2 days to Atlanta, 1–4 to New York or Philadelphia, and 1–5 to Chicago. They describe typical days on the road, start after pickup, and are not guarantees. Your pickup date is scheduled separately, so plan around both dispatch and the route.
Is my car insured during transport?
All carriers arranged through SAKAEM are FMCSA-licensed and insured. Each carrier carries at least $1,000,000 in liability coverage and $100,000 in cargo insurance. At handoff, review the car’s condition with the driver and make sure any existing marks are noted on the Bill of Lading.
Can I pack personal items in the car?
You can ship up to 100 lbs of personal items in the trunk or below the window line. Keep belongings secured and remove valuables before pickup. Personal items are not allowed on Hawaii ocean shipments. Tell your coordinator what you plan to leave in the car before loading.
Can you ship a non-running car?
Yes. SAKAEM can arrange transport for a non-running car if it rolls, brakes, and steers, and you provide a key. Tell us up front that it does not run and share any loading limits or known issues, so the carrier can plan the pickup.
How do I pay for car shipping?
Payment options include card, cash or certified check to the carrier, plus Zelle or Venmo. Confirm which method you’ll use before dispatch and keep the payment plan clear with the carrier so pickup or delivery doesn’t stall.
Do I need to be present at pickup?
A designated adult must be present at both pickup and delivery to inspect the vehicle and sign the Bill of Lading. If you can’t be there, arrange for a trusted adult ahead of time and make sure they can review the car’s condition, hand over the keys, and sign.
