FAQ

Kansas car shipping questions.

Do you ship cars for Fort Riley moves?

Yes. Pickups and deliveries are usually set in Junction City or Manhattan, outside the installation gates.

Is the Kansas City metro one market or two?

For shipping, it's one. Carriers serve both the Kansas and Missouri sides together, so Overland Park and Kansas City, Missouri are scheduled about the same way.

Does wind affect shipping across western Kansas?

Sometimes. Strong crosswinds can slow carriers on I-70, especially in spring, but it rarely causes more than a short delay.

Which Kansas cities do you have shipping guides for?

We have 14 city and town pages for Kansas, including Wichita, Overland Park, Kansas City, Olathe, Topeka, and Lawrence. We also ship to and from addresses anywhere else in the state.

How do I register a car after shipping it to Kansas?

Registration is handled by the Kansas Department of Revenue through your county treasurer. 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.
