OPEN car shipping

For a cost-effective and efficient shipping solution in Sacramento, use open transport. With this common shipping method, your car shares a trailer with other vehicles. The process is straightforward, allowing for quick loading and unloading. Remember, since the trailer is not covered, your vehicle will be exposed to the elements and may arrive with a light layer of dust or dirt from the road.

ENCLOSED car shipping

With enclosed shipping, vehicles are protected from road hazards and inclement weather, offering you additional peace of mind. This method is ideal for shipping classic, exotic or luxury vehicles. This option is also essential for cars with low ground clearance, as enclosed carriers use specialized hydraulic liftgates for safe, level loading.

4 things to consider when transporting a car to or from Sacramento

  • Once you become a resident of Sacramento, you must get a state driver’s license within 10 days. Residency is established by voting in a California election, paying resident tuition, filing for a homeowner’s property tax exemption, or any other privilege or benefit not ordinarily extended to nonresidents.
  • Cars, trucks, motorcycles and motorized boats must be registered at a California DMV.
  • If making Sacramento your home, remember to confirm your car insurance coverage. You must have at least $30,000 for bodily injury liability per person, $60,000 for bodily injury liability per accident, and $15,000 for property damage liability.
  • With toll roads and bridges throughout the state, it’s important to remove your FasTrak transponder or other toll tag when shipping your car. You don’t want to be liable for any fees when you weren’t even driving!
