How carriers move through Oregon.
I-5 runs the length of the state from Portland through Salem, Eugene and Medford over Siskiyou Summit, the highest point on I-5, into California. I-84 heads east through the Columbia River Gorge to Pendleton and Idaho. US-97 serves Bend and central Oregon, and US-101 follows the coast.
Seasons and weather
Snow and ice on Siskiyou Summit and Cascade passes can slow winter shipments, and ice in the Columbia River Gorge sometimes closes I-84. Wildfire season can affect southern and central Oregon in summer.
Why people ship cars in Oregon
Relocations to Portland, Bend and the Willamette Valley keep demand steady, and Oregon has no general sales tax. The Port of Portland handles vehicle imports, and the University of Oregon and Oregon State bring students to Eugene and Corvallis.

Oregon car shipping questions.
Is shipping to Bend harder than to Portland?
Bend is reached on US-97 or over the Cascades, so winter weather can add time. Portland is on I-5 and I-84 and gets more carrier traffic.
Does winter affect I-5 shipments through southern Oregon?
Yes. Snow on Siskiyou Summit can delay carriers coming from California.
Can you deliver to the Oregon coast?
Yes. US-101 and the coast-range highways are slower, so plan for a wider window.
Which Oregon cities do you have shipping guides for?
We have 18 city and town pages for Oregon, including Portland, Eugene, Salem, Gresham, Hillsboro, and Bend. We also ship to and from addresses anywhere else in the state.
How do I register a car after shipping it to Oregon?
Registration is handled by the Oregon DMV. 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.
