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

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

Make sure your car is in good running condition with at least a quarter tank of gas (but not more than half). Remove or secure loose parts like spoilers, bike racks, or toll transponders. Disable your car alarm to avoid issues during transport.

Keep one set of keys ready for the driver and have a backup set for yourself. For more detailed preparation steps, check our complete Vehicle Shipping Guide.

At Sakaem Logistics, we’ll walk you through each step to ensure your Miami to NYC car shipment goes smoothly.

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

Before your Miami to NYC shipment begins, we verify that your carrier’s insurance is current and valid. This coverage protects your vehicle against damage during loading, transport, and unloading.

Important: While our carriers provide comprehensive insurance, we recommend reviewing your personal auto insurance policy. Some policies offer additional coverage during transport that can work alongside the carrier’s insurance.

You’ll receive your carrier’s insurance certificate before pickup, so you have all the details for your Miami to New York car shipment. If you have questions about coverage, our team is here to help explain the protection your vehicle has during the 1,200-mile journey.

For car shipping from Miami, FL to New York City, NY, we recommend booking your pickup service at least 2-3 weeks in advance. Here’s why:

Peak Season Considerations: Miami to NYC is a popular route, especially during winter months when snowbirds head south. During busy periods (November-March), book 3-4 weeks ahead.

Better Pricing: Early booking gives carriers time to plan efficient routes and bundle shipments. This means better rates for you – sometimes 10-20% less than last-minute bookings.

More Carrier Options: Popular routes like Miami-NYC have regular carrier traffic, but advance notice ensures you get quality carriers rather than whoever is available last-minute.

Flexible Pickup Windows: Early scheduling allows for 2-3 day pickup windows instead of rushed same-day arrangements.

Last-Minute Options: Need faster service? We can often arrange pickup within 3-7 days on this busy route, though expect higher costs and less flexibility.

The key is giving carriers time to optimize their loads while securing your spot on reliable trucks serving the Miami-NYC corridor.

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 less and works well for everyday cars. Most vehicles arrive without any issues.

Enclosed Auto Transport: Your car rides inside a covered trailer, protected from rain, debris, and road salt. This option typically costs 40-60% more than open transport on the Miami to NYC route.

Choose enclosed transport if you have:

• Classic or vintage cars
• Luxury vehicles worth over $75,000
• Custom paint jobs or modifications
• Low-clearance sports cars

For regular daily drivers, open transport offers great value and reliability. The 1,280-mile journey from Miami to New York typically takes 4-7 days regardless of which option you choose.

At Sakaem Logistics, we help you pick the right transport type based on your car’s value and your budget – no pushy sales tactics, just honest advice.

Yes, we offer door-to-door auto transport service from Miami, FL to New York City, NY. This means our carrier will pick up your vehicle directly from your home, office, or any address you choose in Miami and deliver it right to your door in New York City.

When you book with Sakaem Logistics, simply provide us with your preferred pickup and delivery addresses. Our assigned carrier will coordinate with you to schedule convenient pickup and delivery times that work with your schedule.

Important note: In some cases, large car carriers cannot access certain streets due to low bridges, narrow roads, or parking restrictions – especially common in parts of NYC. If this happens, don’t worry! The carrier will work with you to find a safe, nearby meeting spot like a shopping center or gas station, typically within a few blocks of your address.

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.
