How carriers move through Idaho.
I-84 runs from Oregon through Boise, Nampa and Twin Falls toward Utah. I-15 crosses eastern Idaho through Pocatello and Idaho Falls toward Montana, with I-86 linking the two. In the north, I-90 passes through Coeur d'Alene and climbs over Lookout Pass into Montana. US-95 is the long, mostly two-lane north–south road.
Seasons and weather
Mountain winters shape the schedule. Lookout Pass and other high routes can require chains, and US-95 is slow in snow. Southern Idaho's high desert has hot summers and cold, dry winters.
Why people ship cars in Idaho

Idaho car shipping questions.
Is Boise easy to ship to?
Yes. Boise is on I-84, which carriers use between Portland, Salt Lake City and points east.
How does winter affect shipping to northern Idaho?
Snow on I-90 and US-95 can add a day or two. Coeur d'Alene is easier to reach than smaller mountain towns.
Do you ship cars to Rexburg for BYU-Idaho students?
Yes. Rexburg is just off US-20 near I-15, and late summer and early January are the busiest times.
Which Idaho cities do you have shipping guides for?
We have 13 city and town pages for Idaho, including Boise, Meridian, Nampa, Caldwell, Idaho Falls, and Pocatello. We also ship to and from addresses anywhere else in the state.
How do I register a car after shipping it to Idaho?
Registration is handled by the Idaho Transportation Department and your county assessor. Requirements and deadlines change, so check the official site before you arrive. Keep your title, proof of insurance and the carrier's bill of lading handy.
