Shipping a car in Sacramento

Sacramento is one of the larger markets in Sacramento County, California, with roughly 535,798 residents, the 6th largest of the California cities we cover. In a city this size the harder part of a booking is usually access rather than finding a truck: a full-size car hauler runs about 75 feet and needs somewhere it can legally stop and turn. Confirm the loading point when you book rather than leaving it to the driver on the day.

Sacramento works as a standalone pickup within reach of Elk Grove (10 mi), Roseville (15 mi) and Vacaville (30 mi). A California run through this area may take in Elk Grove on the same trip before heading out on I-5, I-10, and US-101. That is why pickup is quoted as a window of days rather than a set hour: the arrival time depends on the stops booked around yours.

Sacramento is itself an endpoint on a published corridor. Sacramento to Dallas runs 1,730 miles on a 4 to 7 day transit, typically $900 to $1,250 for a standard vehicle on an open trailer. Those figures are a firm reference for anything moving that direction.

Elsewhere in Sacramento County we also collect in Elk Grove. A booking that shares a truck with a neighbouring pickup is usually the cheaper option, so it is worth mentioning if you are moving more than one vehicle.

Before you book

Carrier checks and vehicle preparation are the same for a Sacramento pickup as for any other, so they are covered once rather than on every city page. Before pickup, ask for the carrier's MC or USDOT number to look up on FMCSA SAFER and for its cargo insurance certificate. How to prepare your car for shipping covers the wash, fuel level and personal items, and the Bill of Lading guide explains the condition report you sign at both ends.
