Preparing your vehicle for the cross-country journey from Los Angeles to Miami is simple but important. Here’s what you need to do:

Clean and inspect your car: Wash your vehicle and take photos of any existing damage. This helps with insurance claims if needed.

Remove personal items: Take out toll passes, GPS devices, phone chargers, and any fragile or valuable items. Most carriers don’t cover personal belongings.

Check fluids and battery: Make sure your car has enough gas (about 1/4 tank), oil, and coolant. Ensure your battery is charged so the carrier can move your vehicle.

Secure loose parts: Remove or tighten any exterior accessories like spoilers, bike racks, or antennas that could get damaged during transport.

Have keys ready: You’ll need to give the driver at least one working key. Make sure it starts the engine and unlocks the doors.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured during transport from Los Angeles to Miami. At Sakaem Logistics, we require all our carriers to maintain:

• $1,000,000 in liability insurance – covers damage to other vehicles or property
• $100,000 in cargo insurance – protects your specific vehicle during transport

Before your LA to Miami shipment begins, we verify that the carrier’s insurance is active and valid for the entire journey. This cross-country route takes 5-7 days, and your vehicle stays covered the whole time.

Pro tip: Take photos of your car before pickup in Los Angeles. While damage is rare, having before-and-after photos makes any insurance claims quick and easy.

Our transparent approach means no hidden fees or insurance surprises – everything is included in your quote upfront.

For car shipping from Los Angeles to Miami, we recommend booking at least 2-3 weeks in advance. This popular cross-country route gets busy, especially during peak seasons like summer and winter holidays.

Booking early gives you several advantages:

• Better pricing: Carriers can plan efficient routes and offer competitive rates
• More carrier options: You’ll have access to more qualified transporters
• Flexible scheduling: You can choose pickup dates that work best for you
• Route bundling: Your car can be grouped with other LA shipments heading east

If you need faster service, we can often arrange pickup within 3-7 days, but expect higher costs for rush orders. During busy times like spring break or holiday seasons, book even earlier if possible.

Pro tip: The LA to Miami route typically takes 7-10 days for delivery, so plan your total timeline accordingly.

We accept all forms of payment. We can arrange credit cards or arrange for you to pay the carrier directly through cash/certified check. We even accept payment via Cash/Zelle/Venmo.

Your shipment with SAKAEM includes up to 100 lbs of personal items or household goods stored in the trunk area or secured below the window line. If your shipment includes ocean transit (Hawaii shipments), your vehicle must be emptied of all items. SAKAEM and your assigned carrier are not responsible for personal items left inside your vehicle. See our Auto Transport Process Article for more details.

A designated (adult) must be present at pickup and delivery. This designated person plays an important role in the shipping process including documenting the state of the vehicle and signing the Bill of Lading, which acts as a receipt of the vehicle’s condition.

When shipping your car from Los Angeles to Miami, you have two main transport options:

Open Auto Transport: Your vehicle travels on an open trailer, exposed to weather and road debris. This is the most popular choice because it costs significantly less and is widely available. Most everyday cars ship this way safely.

Enclosed Auto Transport: Your car rides inside a covered trailer, fully protected from the elements. This costs 50-70% more than open transport but offers maximum protection during the 2,400-mile journey across the country.

Choose enclosed transport if you have:

• A luxury or exotic car worth over $75,000
• A classic or vintage vehicle
• A car with custom paint or modifications
• A convertible with a soft top

For most standard vehicles, open transport is perfectly safe and much more budget-friendly. At Sakaem Logistics, we help you choose the right option based on your car’s value and your peace of mind.

This cross-country route from LA to Miami is one of our most popular services. Door-to-door transport saves you time and hassle – no need to drive to terminals or arrange separate transportation.

The only exception is boats, which we do not transport.
