Reviews
What customers say about shipping with SAKAEM
★★★★★
I highly recommend Sakaem Logistics. They moved my car from Florida to New Jersey and everything was so easy and perfect.
★★★★★
Great experience working with Sakaem, I hired them to transport my son's vehicle from Chicago to Air Force base in Mississippi, vehicle was delivered as expected, driver was flexible with drop off location since he was not able to access into military base. So he arranged with my son to deliver at an outside location. Would work again with Sakaem Logistic in future.
★★★★★
I had my BMW transferred from North Carolina to Nevada, and the entire process was handled very professionally. From the initial agreement to the final drop-off, everyone involved was courteous and kept me informed throughout the entire transfer.
Cost factors
What moves the price of a Toms River shipment
Season
Winter snow and ice in New Jersey can slow deliveries. Atlantic hurricane season, from June 1 to November 30, can also delay trips to or from the state.
Vehicle size
Larger vehicles take more trailer space. Toms River's open-transport table shows SUVs and crossovers at the same typical quote as sedans, though actual dimensions still matter.
Pickup access
A large carrier needs room to turn and load. Tight residential streets or gated entrances around Toms River may require a nearby, safe meeting point.
Open vs enclosed
Open trailers carry more cars and are usually the lower-cost option. Enclosed transport adds protection for high-value cars but has less capacity and typically costs more.

Save money
5 ways to pay less (and wait less)
Pick a workable meeting point
If your block is narrow, ask about an approved loading spot with room for a carrier near US 9 or NJ 37.
Share flexible dates
For a Florida-bound move, share flexible dates early; snowbird demand can affect carrier availability on popular southbound lanes.
Describe the car accurately
Tell the quote team whether the car runs, rolls, brakes, and steers so equipment needs are clear before dispatch.
Choose the transport that fits
Choose open transport for an everyday vehicle unless enclosed protection is important for its value or condition.
Get the car ready
Keep the keys and car accessible at the agreed time, and remove valuables and loose items before the carrier arrives.

Moving to Toms River
Your New Jersey car checklist
If you're moving into New Jersey, line up MVC paperwork and insurance along with your delivery. These state-specific steps can help you avoid registration surprises after your car arrives.
Transfer your title and registration
New residents must transfer their vehicle title and registration to New Jersey within 60 days of moving, or before their out-of-state registration expires if that comes first [NJ MVC].
Gather title-transfer documents
Book an NJ MVC agency appointment. Bring your original out-of-state title, ID, proof of New Jersey insurance, Form OS/SS-UTA, and Form BA-49. If a lender holds the title, request it with Form OS/SS-54 [NJ MVC].
Check your insurance policy
Since January 1, 2026, a Standard Policy must carry at least 35/70/25 liability and $15,000 PIP. A Basic Policy is also legal, with $5,000 property damage and $15,000 PIP; $10,000 injury liability is optional [NJ DOBI].
Know the emissions requirement
Gas and hybrid passenger cars from model year 1996 and newer need emissions testing every two years once past their first five model years; fully electric cars are exempt [NJ MVC].
Check inspection rules
Regular passenger cars get an emissions-only inspection, not a safety check. Commercial-plated and passenger-for-hire vehicles such as taxis need yearly safety and emissions inspections [NJ MVC].
Review window tint
Aftermarket tint is not allowed on front side windows or the windshield, except the top 6 inches above the AS-1 line, unless MVC approves a medical exemption; this applies to sedans, SUVs, and vans [NJ MVC].

FAQ
Toms River car shipping questions
How much does it cost to ship a car to or from Toms River?
For shipping from Toms River, typical quotes are $850–$1,075; shipping to Toms River typically runs $825–$1,300. These figures reflect open transport for a running vehicle and the middle half of customer quotes on record, not a guaranteed price. Your final quote depends on the route, timing, vehicle, and pickup details.
How long does car shipping take?
Across the New York metro, Miami is the leading listed destination, with 1–5 days on the road; Atlanta is 1–4 days and Los Angeles is 4–10 days. These typical transit estimates start after pickup and aren't guarantees. Pickup scheduling happens before that travel time.
Is my car insured during shipping?
SAKAEM carriers are FMCSA-licensed and insured, and they carry at least $1,000,000 in liability coverage and $100,000 in cargo insurance. Ask how to report any damage and keep your inspection notes and Bill of Lading available. Your own auto policy may have separate terms, so check with your insurer if you have questions about your coverage.
Can I pack personal items in the car?
You can leave up to 100 lbs of personal items in the trunk or below the window line. Keep valuables, fragile items, and anything you need during the move with you. The carrier will inspect the car's condition, so remove loose belongings that could shift during transport.
Can you ship a non-running car?
SAKAEM can arrange transport for a non-running car if it rolls, brakes, and steers, and you provide a key. Tell us this when you request a quote so the carrier can bring the right equipment and plan loading. If the car cannot roll or steer, ask before booking; it falls outside this service condition.
How do I pay for car shipping?
Payment options include a card, or cash or a certified check paid to the carrier; Zelle and Venmo are accepted. Confirm your chosen method with your coordinator before pickup, so you know who to pay and what to have ready.
Do I need to be present at pickup and delivery?
A designated adult must be at pickup and delivery to inspect the car and sign the Bill of Lading. If you cannot attend, arrange for another adult you trust to meet the driver at both ends. Make sure they can access the keys and shipment details.
