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 2,700-mile journey from Seattle to Atlanta is simple but important. Here’s what you need to do:

Remove Personal Items: Take out all personal belongings, including electronics, documents, and loose items that could shift during transport. Carriers aren’t responsible for personal property.

Clean Your Vehicle: Wash your car inside and out. This helps you spot any existing damage during the pre-shipping inspection.

Document Everything: Take photos of your vehicle from all angles, noting any scratches, dents, or wear. This protects you if damage occurs during shipping.

Check Fluids and Battery: Ensure your car has enough gas (about 1/4 tank), working brakes, and a charged battery. The carrier needs to drive your car on and off the truck.

Remove Accessories: Take off toll passes, GPS units, bike racks, and any aftermarket items that could fall off or get damaged.

Have Keys Ready: Provide two working keys to the driver at pickup.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured during transport from Seattle, WA to Atlanta, GA. 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 Seattle to Atlanta shipment begins, we verify that your carrier’s insurance is current and valid. This means you’re covered for the entire 2,800-mile journey across the country.

Important note: While our carriers provide comprehensive coverage, we recommend checking with your personal auto insurance to understand any gaps. Some policies offer additional protection during transport.

For car shipping from Seattle to Atlanta, we recommend booking your pickup 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 Seattle to Atlanta 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 holidays), 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 who regularly run the Seattle-Atlanta 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 Seattle to Atlanta, 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 in great condition using open transport.

Enclosed Auto Transport: Your car rides inside a covered trailer, fully protected from weather, road debris, and dust. This option typically costs 50-80% more than open transport on the Seattle to Atlanta route.

Choose enclosed transport if you have:

• Classic or vintage cars
• Luxury vehicles over $75,000
• Custom paint jobs or modifications
• Exotic sports cars

For most standard vehicles making the cross-country trip from Seattle to Atlanta, open transport offers excellent value and reliable service. The 2,700-mile journey typically takes 7-10 days with either option.

At Sakaem Logistics, we help you choose the right transport method based on your car’s value and your budget, not what makes us the most profit.

Yes, we offer convenient door-to-door auto transport service from Seattle, WA to Atlanta, GA. This means we’ll pick up your vehicle right from your home or office in Seattle and deliver it directly to your chosen address in Atlanta.

When you book with us, simply provide your pickup address in Seattle and delivery address in Atlanta. Our carrier will come to both locations to handle your vehicle. If your street has restrictions like low-hanging branches, narrow roads, or weight limits for large trucks, don’t worry – we’ll work with you to find a safe nearby spot like a shopping center or gas station.

This door-to-door service saves you time and hassle compared to terminal-to-terminal shipping, where you’d need to drop off and pick up your car at specific facilities. Most customers on the Seattle to Atlanta route choose door-to-door for the added convenience.

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.
