Distance & lane
Longer lanes require more truck time and fuel, and carrier demand varies by route. A Lewisville-to-Seattle move is a different market from a delivery to nearby Denton.

Reviews
What customers say about shipping with SAKAEM
★★★★★
Sakaem Logistics transported my son's Acura from Los Angeles, CA to Waco, Texas in 5 days. Tim, who drove the transport was professional and courteous and kept communications prior to pickup and close to delivery time. Everything went smoothly with no issues. Price was competitive with other firms. I will use Sakaem again and highly recommend them for your transport needs.
★★★★★
Good shipping company! Car arrived beautifully and on time. There was an up charge of $150 because of something about the height of the car, but it was still a way better quote than I got from other companies! All around good service and quick pickup and transport!
★★★★★
Excellent customer service! Communication during the process was on going & courteous! Highly recommend them!
Cost factors
What moves the price of a Lewisville shipment
Season
Hurricane season, June 1 to November 30, can delay Gulf Coast routes through Houston, Galveston and Corpus Christi; rare winter ice can briefly close highways in North and Central Texas.
Vehicle size
SUVs and crossovers take more trailer space than sedans, so a carrier may price them higher on the same Lewisville lane. Open SUV/crossover quotes typically exceed sedan/coupe quotes here.
Pickup access
A car hauler needs safe room to turn and load. Tight streets in Old Town or gated access in Castle Hills can limit direct pickup and change where the truck can stop.
Open vs enclosed
Open transport is a common choice for standard cars. Enclosed trailers offer more protection for high-value vehicles, but specialized equipment and fewer spaces can raise the quote.
Save money
5 ways to pay less (and wait less)
Keep your pickup window flexible
A flexible window can make it easier to match a truck routing through I-35E or SH 121.
Plan an Old Town meeting point
For an Old Town pickup, ask about meeting the truck on a wider nearby street before dispatch to avoid a last-minute location change.
Arrange Castle Hills access
If your pickup is in Castle Hills, arrange gate access and share entry instructions before the carrier arrives.
Watch route conditions
For Gulf Coast routes, check for hurricane-related disruptions; for North Texas travel in winter, watch for rare ice-related closures.
Choose the right transport
Use open transport for an everyday car and reserve enclosed service for a high-value vehicle that needs added protection.

FAQ
Lewisville car shipping questions
How much does it cost to ship a car to or from Lewisville?
For a running vehicle on open transport, typical quotes on record in Lewisville are $700–$925 outbound and $850–$1,100 inbound; these represent the middle half of customer quotes. Lewisville's typical outbound quote is about $50 lower than the typical quote across the Dallas metro. Your route, vehicle size, pickup access and season affect the final offer.
How long does car shipping take?
From Lewisville, Chicago runs 1–4 days on the road after pickup; Los Angeles, New York and Seattle are estimated at 2–6 days. The transit clock starts after pickup, and these are estimates, not guarantees. Weather, road conditions and carrier routing can affect arrival timing.
Is my car insured during shipping?
SAKAEM's carriers are FMCSA-licensed and insured, with at least $1,000,000 liability and $100,000 cargo insurance. That is the carrier's coverage for the shipment; ask for the carrier's insurance details and check with your own insurer if you have questions about how your policy applies.
Can I pack personal items in my car?
You may put up to 100 lbs of personal items in the trunk, below the window line. Keep the load within that limit and avoid covering the windows or controls; clear, accessible cargo makes the vehicle handoff easier. Do not leave valuables or important documents in the car.
Can you ship a non-running car?
SAKAEM can ship a non-running car if it rolls, brakes and steers, and you provide a key. Tell us before booking so the carrier can plan the right loading equipment and confirm the pickup spot is workable. If the vehicle cannot meet those conditions, ask about options before scheduling.
How do I pay for car shipping?
Payment options include card, or paying the carrier by cash or certified check; Zelle and Venmo are also accepted. Confirm the exact method with your coordinator before pickup so you and the driver know how payment will be handled. Keep your receipt after payment.
Do I need to be present at pickup?
A designated adult must be at both pickup and delivery to inspect the car and sign the Bill of Lading. If you cannot attend, arrange another adult in advance and make sure they can review the vehicle condition and hand over or receive the keys.
