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 1,500-mile journey from NYC to Dallas is key to a smooth shipping experience. Here’s what you need to do:

Remove Personal Items: Take out all belongings, including toll passes (E-ZPass), GPS devices, and anything loose that could shift during transport.

Clean Your Vehicle: Wash your car inside and out. This makes it easier to spot any damage during pickup and delivery inspections.

Document Everything: Take photos of your car from all angles, noting any existing scratches or dents.

Prepare for Handoff: Keep one working key available for the carrier. Make sure your car starts and runs properly.

Check Fluids and Battery: Ensure your gas tank is about 1/4 full, and your battery is charged. Low fluids or a dead battery can cause delays.

Secure or Remove Accessories: Take off custom parts like spoilers or bike racks that could get damaged. Fold in side mirrors if possible.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured during transport from New York City to Dallas. At Sakaem Logistics, we require all our carriers to maintain at least $1,000,000 in liability insurance and $100,000 in cargo insurance.

Before your NYC to Dallas shipment begins, we verify that:

• The carrier’s insurance is current and valid
• Coverage remains active throughout your entire transport
• All policy requirements meet industry standards

This insurance protects your vehicle against damage during loading, transport, and unloading. You’ll receive insurance documentation before your car leaves New York City, giving you peace of mind for the 1,500+ mile journey to Dallas.

Important: While our carriers provide comprehensive coverage, we recommend checking with your personal auto insurance about any gaps in coverage during transport.

For car shipping from New York City to Dallas, we recommend booking your pickup service at least 2-3 weeks in advance. However, the earlier you book, the better your chances of securing competitive rates and flexible pickup times.

Here’s why advance booking matters:

• Better carrier availability: Popular routes like NYC to Dallas fill up quickly
• Lower costs: Early booking allows carriers to plan efficient routes and offer better prices
• Flexible scheduling: You’ll have more pickup date options to choose from

If you’re moving during peak seasons (summer months, holidays, or college breaks), consider booking 4-6 weeks ahead. These times see heavy demand for car shipping services.

Need to ship last-minute? Don’t worry – we can often accommodate rush orders, though expect higher rates and limited pickup windows. At Sakaem Logistics, we work hard to find solutions even when time is tight.

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 transport is the most common and budget-friendly option. Your car rides on an open trailer alongside other vehicles. It’s exposed to weather and road debris, but it’s perfectly safe for most cars. This method costs significantly less and is faster to book.

Enclosed transport protects your vehicle inside a covered trailer. It costs 40-60% more than open transport but shields your car from weather, dust, and road debris. Choose this for luxury cars, classics, or vehicles with custom paint jobs.

For the New York City to Dallas route (about 1,500 miles), open transport typically costs $800-$1,200, while enclosed runs $1,200-$1,800. Most everyday vehicles ship safely via open transport, saving you money without compromising security.

At Sakaem Logistics, we help you choose the right option based on your car’s value and your budget – no pressure, just honest advice.
