Our team has been in the car shipping industry for a long time. We worked for some of the largest brokers and knew there was a better way to do things.

So we set out to create a company that would be different. We want to walk you through how the process works and we guarantee to match any price you hear from a competitor.

We’re a scrappy team that looks forward to earning your business.

Getting your car ready for the Miami to Houston route is simple but important. Here’s what you need to do:

Remove personal items: Take out all belongings, including toll passes, GPS devices, and anything loose. Items left inside aren’t covered by insurance and can shift during transport.

Clean your vehicle: Wash your car so you can easily spot any existing damage during the pre-transport inspection. This protects you if issues arise.

Document everything: Take photos of your car from all angles, noting any scratches or dents. Keep these for your records.

Prepare for pickup: Have your keys ready and ensure your gas tank is between 1/4 and 1/2 full. Remove custom accessories like spoilers or bike racks that could get damaged.

Check fluids and battery: Make sure your car runs properly. Low battery or fluid leaks can cause delays.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured during transport from Miami, FL to Houston, TX. All Sakaem Logistics carriers must carry at least $1,000,000 in liability insurance and $100,000 in cargo insurance.

We take extra steps to protect you on this 1,200-mile route. Before your car leaves Miami, we verify that your carrier’s insurance is active and valid. You’ll receive a copy of their insurance certificate for your records.

This coverage protects against damage from accidents, weather, or carrier negligence during the 2-3 day journey to Houston. Your personal auto insurance stays as secondary coverage – our carrier insurance handles any transport-related claims first.

Unlike some brokers who use uninsured carriers, we never compromise on coverage. Every vehicle we move from Miami to Houston travels with full commercial insurance protection at no extra cost to you.

For the Miami to Houston route, we recommend scheduling your car pickup at least 2-3 weeks in advance. This gives carriers enough time to plan efficient routes and bundle your vehicle with others heading to Texas.

Here’s why early booking matters:

• Better pricing: Carriers can offer lower rates when they have time to fill their trucks
• More carrier options: Popular routes like Miami to Houston attract many drivers, but they fill up fast
• Flexible scheduling: You’ll have more pickup date options instead of being stuck with last-minute slots

Peak season tip: During busy times (summer and fall), book 3-4 weeks ahead. Winter months are typically slower, so 2 weeks may be enough.

Remember, Miami’s high shipping volume means carriers visit frequently, but they also book up quickly. The earlier you schedule, the better your chances of getting your preferred dates and rates.

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.

Open auto transport is the most common and budget-friendly option for shipping your car from Miami to Houston. Your vehicle travels on an open trailer alongside 8-10 other cars. It’s exposed to weather and road debris, but it’s perfectly safe for most vehicles and costs significantly less.

Enclosed auto transport protects your car inside a covered trailer, typically carrying only 2-6 vehicles. This option costs 40-60% more than open transport but provides complete protection from weather, dust, and road debris.

Choose enclosed transport if:

• Your car is worth over $50,000
• It’s a classic, luxury, or exotic vehicle
• You have custom paint or modifications
• Weather protection is essential

Choose open transport if:

• You want to save money (most popular choice)
• Your car is a daily driver
• You’re okay with normal road exposure

For the Miami to Houston route (about 1,200 miles), open transport typically runs $800-$1,200, while enclosed transport costs $1,200-$1,800. Both options usually take 3-7 days for delivery.

Yes, we offer door-to-door auto transport service from Miami, FL to Houston, TX. This means we’ll pick up your car right from your home or office in Miami and deliver it directly to your chosen address in Houston.

When you book with Sakaem Logistics, simply provide us with your preferred pickup and delivery addresses. Our assigned carrier will do their best to reach these exact locations. However, if your street has restrictions like low-hanging branches, narrow roads, or weight limits for large trucks, we’ll work with you to find a safe nearby spot – like a shopping center or gas station – that’s convenient for you.

Door-to-door service saves you time and hassle. You won’t need to drive to a terminal or arrange extra transportation. Most customers on the Miami to Houston route can take advantage of this convenient option without any issues.

We transport sedans, SUVs, pickup trucks, electric vehicles, vans and motorcycles across all 48 continental states + Hawaii. Our services even provide shipment for golf carts, ATVs, or RVs. We can ship vehicles that don’t run so long as the vehicle can roll, brake, and steer, and that you can provide the carrier with a key to the vehicle. The only exception is boats, which we do not transport.
