Reviews
What customers say about shipping with SAKAEM
★★★★★
I just had my Jeep delivered to Miami, Florida from Phoenix, AZ. The transport and delivery was perfect coordinated by SAKAEM Logistics was excellent. Delivery was completed in 4 days at a real reasonable price.
★★★★★
Very smooth process. Driver was very attentive. Due to the destination driveway being long and narrow for his truck, he unloaded the vehicle across the highway and personally drove it up to the house. Great service.
★★★★★
Good shipping company! Car arrived beautifully and on time All around good service and quick pickup and transport!
Cost factors
What moves the price of a Jacksonville shipment
Season
Atlantic hurricane season runs June 1 to November 30. Storms or evacuations can disrupt Florida pickups and deliveries, especially from August through October.
Vehicle size
SUVs, pickups, and vans take different trailer space than sedans, so vehicle class changes the carrier’s load plan. A car’s running condition also affects the shipment setup.
Pickup access
A large carrier may not fit on a narrow block or through a gated entrance in areas like Riverside Avondale or San Marco. A nearby open meeting point can make loading practical.
Open vs enclosed
Open transport suits many everyday cars. Enclosed carriers add protection from weather and road debris for high-value vehicles, and that added protection changes the price.

Save money
5 ways to pay less (and wait less)
Keep dates flexible
If your schedule allows, ask about a wider pickup window for a cross-country shipment into Jacksonville instead of insisting on one exact day.
Plan a meeting point
In Downtown Jacksonville, Riverside Avondale, or Springfield, ask your coordinator about an accessible meeting point if a truck cannot reach your block.
Check your toll tag
If your car has a SunPass transponder, ask your toll provider whether it should travel in the car or be removed before transport.
Document condition
Photograph the car from all sides before loading, note existing damage on the inspection report, and compare the car’s condition at delivery.
Stay storm-aware
During Atlantic hurricane season, follow local updates and contact SAKAEM early if a storm could change your availability or handoff plan.

Moving to Jacksonville
Your Florida car checklist
Moving to Jacksonville? Plan your Florida title, registration, and insurance steps alongside the shipment so your car is ready to drive after it arrives.
New-resident deadlines
If you establish Florida residency, get Florida car insurance and title and register your vehicle within 10 days; get a Florida driver license within 30 days. [FLHSMV]
Title transfer
Buy insurance through a Florida-licensed agent; get the VIN check and form HSMV 82040 or 82042 completed by an eligible officer, licensed dealer, or tax collector employee. Take forms, out-of-state title, and proof of insurance to your county tax collector. [FLHSMV]
Insurance minimums
Before registration, show at least $10,000 of PIP and $10,000 of PDL coverage, and keep that coverage active even when the car is not being driven. [FLHSMV]
Emissions testing
Florida has no vehicle emissions testing; the state ended its emissions inspection program on July 1, 2000. [EPA (Fed. Reg.)]
Window tint
Front side windows must let in at least 28% of light. Windows behind the driver must let in at least 15% on sedans and 6% on SUVs, vans, and other multipurpose vehicles. [Fla. Stat. 316.2953–.2954]

FAQ
Jacksonville car shipping questions
How much does it cost to ship a car to or from Jacksonville?
For a running car on open transport, typical quotes from Jacksonville are $825–$1,200; shipping to Jacksonville is $800–$1,250. These are the middle half of customer quotes on record, not a guaranteed price. Your route, vehicle size, transport type, and pickup access can change the quote.
How long does car shipping to or from Jacksonville take?
Jacksonville-to-New York trips typically take 1–4 days on the road; Los Angeles and San Diego are 3–7 days, while Seattle is 4–10. Transit starts after pickup, and these estimates aren't guarantees. Pickup scheduling is separate, so ask for a window and stay reachable as the driver approaches.
Is my car insured during shipping?
Carriers booked through SAKAEM are FMCSA-licensed and insured, with at least $1,000,000 liability and $100,000 cargo insurance. Ask your carrier how coverage applies during loading, transit, and unloading, and document your vehicle’s condition on the inspection report at both ends.
Can I pack personal items in my car?
SAKAEM allows up to 100 lbs of personal items in the trunk or below the window line. Keep valuables and important documents with you, secure anything you ship, and tell your coordinator before pickup. Personal items are not allowed on Hawaii ocean shipments.
Can you ship a car that does not run?
SAKAEM can ship a non-running vehicle if it rolls, brakes, and steers, and you provide a key. Tell us its condition before booking so the carrier can plan for loading and access. If it cannot meet those conditions, ask about options before setting a pickup date.
How do I pay for car shipping?
There's no upfront deposit, and cancellation is free. You can pay by card, or pay the carrier by cash or certified check; Zelle and Venmo are accepted. Confirm your chosen method with SAKAEM before pickup so you know how to settle the shipment.
Do I need to be present at pickup?
A designated adult must be present at pickup and delivery to inspect the car and sign the Bill of Lading. If you cannot attend, arrange a trusted adult in advance and make sure they can access the keys and vehicle. Have them walk around the car with the driver and note its condition before handoff.
