Marina del Rey is home to North America's largest man-made small-craft harbor, with nearly 5,000 boat slips packed into an unincorporated stretch of Los Angeles County wedged between Venice and Playa Vista. It's a community built around boats and waterfront living, which means a lot of residents also own a second or third vehicle sitting in a condo garage that rarely gets driven. If you're one of them, a car shipping quote from Sweet Logistics is usually the easiest way to get that car moving again, whether it's headed cross-country or just up the coast, and Cyndy still handles the details herself on every job.
Coast to Coast Car Shipping
Marina del Rey sits just a few miles from LAX, close enough that flying in and having a car delivered the same day, or the reverse, is a realistic option rather than a hassle. The community is unincorporated Los Angeles County, surrounded by the City of Los Angeles and directly adjacent to Venice, with Playa Vista's office campuses (including Google and YouTube space) a short drive inland. Because roughly 94% of residents here rent rather than own, per real estate market data, this is one of the more transient communities we serve, people move in and out on lease cycles rather than staying for decades, which means open trailer auto transport requests spike whenever leases turn over. We regularly coordinate pickups here with our Santa Monica route just up the coast to keep carriers running efficiently across the Westside.
Premium and exclusive vehicle freight
Standard vehicle transport
Heavy vehicle hauling
People often ask us this, and it's a fair question because "car shipping" gets used as a catch-all term. We're not a towing company, and we're not hauling your car around town on a flatbed for a mechanic. Sweet Logistics moves vehicles long distance, nationwide, from Marina Del Rey to any state in the country, using three main methods depending on what you're shipping and what you need.
Open trailer transport is the standard option and what most customers choose. Your car rides on a multi-car carrier alongside other vehicles, exposed to the weather the same way it would be if you drove it yourself. It's the most affordable option and works fine for the large majority of daily drivers, SUVs, and trucks.
Enclosed car carrier transport puts your vehicle inside a fully covered trailer, shielded from road debris, weather, and dust for the entire trip. This is the option we recommend for classic cars, exotic and luxury vehicles, and anything headed to or from a car show.
Heavy duty truck and equipment hauling covers everything too big or too heavy for a standard car carrier: box trucks, work trucks with equipment mounted, trailers, and other commercial vehicles. If it doesn't fit the usual definition of "car," this is the service that gets it moved.

Boat owners make up a real share of who we ship for here. With nearly 5,000 slips in North America's largest man-made small-craft harbor, Marina del Rey draws residents who've built their lifestyle around the water, and it's common for a second or third car, a weekend vehicle, a project car, or one that's simply not getting driven, to sit unused until it's time to ship it somewhere else rather than let it keep depreciating in a garage.
Nearby Playa Vista adds a tech and media dimension to the neighborhood. Office campuses there, including space occupied by Google and YouTube, bring in employees relocating for a new role or wrapping up a project and heading elsewhere. Because roughly 94% of Marina del Rey residents rent rather than own, per real estate market data, this is one of the more transient communities we serve, people move on lease cycles here, not decade-long stays, and that turnover means open trailer auto transport requests spike every time a lease turns over.
Being a few miles from LAX rounds things out. Travelers and relocating professionals who fly in and out of LAX regularly time a vehicle shipment around a flight rather than a road trip, and Marina del Rey's proximity makes that kind of coordination straightforward instead of a special case.
