Montana Questions
Montana is huge. Does that make shipping harder?
It makes planning matter more. Montana is the fourth-largest state, and towns on the Hi-Line or in the far east can be hours from I-90, I-94 or I-15. Carriers plan these runs ahead, so give us more notice than you would for a city.
Can carriers cross the mountain passes in winter?
Yes, though storms can close Homestake, Bozeman and Lookout passes on I-90 for a time, and trucks may need chains. From November to April, leave some room in your dates.
I’m moving to Bozeman. How do I get my car there?
Give us both addresses and your dates. Bozeman sits on I-90, which keeps it simple for carriers coming from either coast. Summer is the busy moving season, so book a few weeks ahead.
I just moved to Montana. How long do I have to register my car?
Montana gives new residents 60 days. You title and register through your county treasurer’s motor vehicle office, so check with yours for what to bring.
What does it cost to ship a car to or from Montana?
Distance, the vehicle, open or enclosed, and the season. A pickup near I-90 can cost less than one on the Hi-Line in January. Get an exact quote or call (424) 453-1800.

Moving to Montana
Bozeman, Missoula and the Flathead Valley have drawn a lot of newcomers, many from California, Washington and Colorado. Summer is when most people move, and it’s also when carriers are busiest, so book a few weeks ahead. Bozeman and Missoula sit right on I-90. Kalispell and Whitefish are a long drive north on US-93, so give us extra notice for the Flathead.
Winter on I-90
Montana’s main highway crosses the Continental Divide at Homestake Pass, then climbs Bozeman Pass and Lookout Pass on the way to Idaho. Winter storms close or slow these passes, and carriers wait for the road to clear. Between November and April, plan for your pickup or delivery to be a range of days, not a set date.
