Shipping a car in Idaho
Boise has been one of the fastest-growing metros in the West, with many people arriving from California, Oregon and Washington. Northern Idaho is reached on I-90 over Fourth of July and Lookout passes, which can be snowy for much of the year.
Main routes: I-84, I-15 and I-90.
Cities we serve include Boise, Idaho Falls, Coeur d'Alene and Twin Falls, plus every other town in Idaho: if a truck can reach it, you can post it.

Popular routes to and from Idaho
When to ship to and from Idaho
Winter weather
Winters in Idaho bring snow and road salt, roughly December to March. Carriers keep running, but a storm can push pickup or delivery by a day or two. A car on an open carrier will arrive salty, so plan a wash.
Mountain passes
Routes through Idaho can cross mountain passes where winter storms and chain laws slow trucks. Building a spare day or two into a winter pickup window takes the pressure off.
Peak moving season
June to August is the busiest moving season in North America: school-year moves, new jobs and military transfers all land in summer. Posting early gives you more quotes and more choice of dates.
Moving to Idaho?
Once the car arrives, register it with the Idaho Transportation Department (county DMV offices). Ask what it needs for a vehicle registered somewhere else (often a VIN check, an inspection or an emissions test) before your old plates or insurance run out.
Shipping across the Canadian border? Only companies that handle cross-border work will quote, and you'll need the ownership or title, ID and a signed authorization letter; permanent imports have extra steps. Each cross-border route page explains the paperwork.
