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.

Preparing your car for the Miami to New York route is simple but important. Start by removing all personal items from inside your vehicle – carriers aren’t insured for personal belongings, and items can shift during the 1,200+ mile journey.

Clean your car inside and out before pickup. This helps you spot any existing damage during the inspection. Take photos of your vehicle from all angles as backup documentation.

Check these key items:

• Remove toll transponders (E-ZPass, SunPass) and garage door openers
• Leave only one set of keys with the driver
• Ensure your gas tank is between 1/4 and 1/2 full
• Remove or secure loose parts like spoilers, bike racks, or antenna toppers
• Disable your car alarm to avoid issues during transport

Since you’re shipping from Florida to New York, check your battery and fluids – temperature changes along the route can affect performance. Make sure your car runs well, as carriers need to drive it on and off the truck.

For complete details, see our Vehicle Shipping Tips guide. Following these steps protects your car and ensures smooth pickup in Miami and delivery in NYC.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured during transport from Miami, FL to New York City, NY. All our carriers must have at least $1,000,000 in liability insurance and $100,000 in cargo insurance before we work with them.

We check that each carrier’s insurance is active and valid for your entire Miami to NYC shipment. This protects your car against damage or loss during the 1,100+ mile journey.

For extra protection, all our contracted carriers add SAKAEM as a Certificate Holder on their insurance policy. This means we can directly verify coverage and help with any claims if needed.

Your insurance coverage is included in our all-inclusive quotes – no hidden fees or extra costs for this protection on your Miami to New York car shipment.

For car shipping from Miami to New York City, we recommend booking your pickup service at least 2-3 weeks in advance. This gives you the best chance to secure competitive rates and reliable carriers.

Here’s why early booking matters:

• Better pricing: Carriers can plan efficient routes and bundle multiple vehicles
• More carrier options: Popular routes like Miami to NYC fill up quickly
• Flexible scheduling: You’ll have more pickup date options to choose from

If you’re moving during peak seasons (summer months or winter snowbird migration), consider booking 3-4 weeks ahead. Last-minute bookings often cost 20-30% more and may face delays.

Pro tip: At Sakaem Logistics, we help you avoid the inflated prices that big brokers charge by connecting you directly with quality carriers on this busy East Coast route.

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 Miami, FL to New York City, NY, you have two main transport options:

Open Auto Transport: Your vehicle travels on an open trailer exposed to weather and road conditions. This is the most popular choice because it costs 40-60% less than enclosed transport. Most cars arrive safely with minimal wear.

Enclosed Auto Transport: Your car rides inside a covered trailer, protected from weather, road debris, and dust. This premium service costs more but offers maximum protection.

Choose Open Transport if:

• You want to save money
• You have a standard daily driver
• Minor road dust doesn’t concern you

Choose Enclosed Transport if:

• You own a luxury, classic, or exotic car
• Your vehicle has custom paint or modifications
• You want complete weather protection for the 1,200+ mile journey

For the Miami to NYC route, both options typically take 4-7 days. At Sakaem Logistics, we help you choose the right service based on your car’s value and your budget, not what makes us the most profit.

Yes, we offer door-to-door auto transport service from Miami, FL to New York City, NY. 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 NYC.

Here’s how it works: When you book with us, simply provide your pickup address in Miami and your delivery address in New York City. Our assigned carrier will come to you at both ends of the journey. No need to drive to a terminal or meet at a distant location.

Important note: Sometimes tight city streets, low bridges, or parking restrictions might prevent our large transport trucks from reaching your exact address. If this happens in either Miami or NYC, don’t worry – we’ll arrange a safe, convenient nearby location like a shopping center or gas station. Our team will work with you to find the best spot that’s easy for you to reach.

This door-to-door service saves you time and hassle, especially on a busy route like Miami to New York City. You can focus on your move while we handle getting your vehicle there safely.

We transport sedans, SUVs, pickup trucks, electric vehicles, vans and motorcycles across all 48 continental states + Hawaii. Our services do not include boats, 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.
