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.

Cost factors

What moves the price of a Bay Shore shipment

Distance & lane

Across the New York metro, Miami and Los Angeles are leading destinations; West Coast lanes cover more ground than Southeast routes, changing carrier mileage and time.

Season

Long Island’s Atlantic hurricane season can disrupt routes, and winter snow elsewhere in New York can slow deliveries into Bay Shore. Seasonal demand also shifts truck availability.

Vehicle size

SUVs and pickups take more trailer space than sedans. Modified or oversized vehicles may need a different loading setup, which can raise the quote.

Pickup access

If your address near Downtown Bay Shore District or Penataquit Point has tight turns or limited access, a truck may need a safer staging spot, affecting routing.

Open vs enclosed

Open transport suits everyday vehicles. Enclosed trailers add weather and road-debris protection but have less capacity, so choosing one can raise your quote.

Save money

5 ways to pay less (and wait less)

  1. Keep Florida pickup dates flexible

    For a southbound Florida move, share a flexible pickup window and ask about carrier availability before locking in travel plans.

  2. Choose an easy handoff spot

    If a large carrier cannot reach your block, agree on a safe meeting point near NY 27 or NY 109 before pickup day.

  3. Pick transport that fits the car

    Choose open transport for a routine daily driver; reserve enclosed service for a high-value car or when added protection matters.

  4. Plan in-state moves early

    Share both addresses and ask about carrier availability; in-state New York moves are rare across the New York metro.

  5. Document the handoff

    Photograph the car before pickup and keep a copy of the signed Bill of Lading; compare its condition again at delivery.

Moving to Bay Shore

Your New York car checklist

Moving into Bay Shore from another state? Sort out New York registration and insurance early, then check inspection and tint rules before driving.

  • Register after becoming a resident

    Register your car in New York within 30 days of becoming a resident. [NY DMV]

  • Prepare title paperwork

    Buy a New York State auto insurance policy first, then apply with MV-82, your out-of-state title or other ownership proof, proof of NY insurance, identity and age proof, and sales-tax payment. New arrivals get a 10-day inspection extension sticker. [NY DMV]

  • Check insurance requirements

    New York requires 25/50/10 liability, $50,000 no-fault PIP and uninsured-motorist coverage. [NY DMV]

  • Plan for inspections

    Get a safety inspection every 12 months and at ownership change; most cars also need an OBDII emissions scan. EVs, motorcycles, and cars less than two or more than 25 model years old are emissions-exempt. [NY DMV]

  • Review window tint

    Front side windows need at least 70% light; windshield tint is limited to the top 6 inches. Sedans, coupes, hatchbacks, convertibles and station wagons need 70% at rear sides; SUVs, vans and trucks may have darker rear sides. [N.Y. VTL 375]

  • Know the toll system

    New York toll roads, including the NYS Thruway, MTA bridges and tunnels, and Port Authority crossings, use E-ZPass. [E-ZPass NY]

FAQ

Bay Shore car shipping questions

How much does it cost to ship a car to or from Bay Shore?

Bay Shore outbound quotes are typically $900–$1,200; inbound quotes are typically $900–$1,475. Both ranges reflect the middle half of customer quotes on record for a running vehicle on open transport. Your route, vehicle, season and pickup access shape the final quote, so use your exact addresses for a tailored price.

How long does car shipping take?

Across the New York metro, typical on-road estimates are 1–5 days to Miami, 4–10 days to Los Angeles, and 2–6 days to Dallas. The transit clock starts after pickup, and estimates are not guarantees; ask your coordinator for the pickup window too.

Is my car insured during transport?

SAKAEM works with FMCSA-licensed and insured carriers. Each carrier carries at least $1,000,000 in liability coverage and $100,000 in cargo insurance. Ask what the carrier’s coverage applies to, and document your vehicle’s condition at handoff on the Bill of Lading. Carrier cargo coverage is separate from your own auto insurance.

Can I pack 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 out of the driver’s area, and remove valuables. Confirm anything unusual with SAKAEM before pickup so the carrier knows what is in the vehicle.

Can you ship a car that does not run?

SAKAEM can arrange transport for a non-running vehicle if it rolls, brakes and steers, and a key is available. Tell us its condition before booking so the carrier can bring the right loading equipment and confirm the pickup setup. If it cannot meet those conditions, ask about another plan.

How do I pay for car shipping?

There is no upfront deposit. Pay by card, or pay the carrier by cash or certified check; Zelle and Venmo are accepted. Confirm the option for your booking and have it ready before pickup to avoid a payment scramble at handoff.

Do I need to be present at pickup and delivery?

Yes. A designated adult must be there at both pickup and delivery to inspect the vehicle with the driver and sign the Bill of Lading. If you cannot attend, arrange an adult you trust ahead of time and make sure they can access the car and discuss its condition. This keeps the handoff clear at each end.
