Shipping a car in Kentucky
Kentucky is a car-building state: Toyota's largest plant is in Georgetown, Ford builds trucks and SUVs in Louisville, and the Corvette comes from Bowling Green. I-65 and I-75 carry snowbird traffic from the Midwest down to Florida.
Main routes: I-64, I-65, I-71 and I-75.
Cities we serve include Louisville, Lexington, Bowling Green and Covington, plus every other town in Kentucky: if a truck can reach it, you can post it.

When to ship to and from Kentucky
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 Kentucky?
Once the car arrives, register it with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (county clerk 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.
