Car shipping to and from Missouri

Moving to Missouri, leaving it, or shipping a car within the state? Post the trip once and verified carriers and brokers send written quotes to your private dashboard. No spam calls.

Shipping a car in Missouri

Kansas City and St. Louis sit on I-70, and I-44 runs southwest toward Oklahoma and Texas, so Missouri is on many cross-country carrier routes. GM builds trucks in Wentzville and Ford builds the Transit van near Kansas City.

Main routes: I-70, I-44, I-55, I-35 and I-29.

Cities we serve include Kansas City, St. Louis, Springfield and Columbia, plus every other town in Missouri: if a truck can reach it, you can post it.

When to ship to and from Missouri

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 Missouri?

Once the car arrives, register it with the Missouri Department of Revenue (license 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.

Questions about shipping to and from Missouri

How long does it take to ship a car to and from Missouri?
It depends mostly on distance. As a rough guide, a car typically spends 1–3 days on the truck for trips under 700 miles and 7–10 days coast to coast, plus the pickup window. The table above shows typical ranges from Kansas City, MO.
How much does it cost to ship a car to and from Missouri?
We don't publish price lists, because there isn't one right number: each verified company sets its own price for your exact pickup and delivery addresses, vehicle, dates, and open or enclosed transport, and sends it in writing to your dashboard. Posting and comparing quotes is free, and you never pay CarShipping247 anything.
Do you cover small towns in Missouri?
Yes. You can post a pickup or delivery anywhere in Missouri. Away from the main highways (I-70, I-44, I-55, I-35 and I-29), carriers sometimes suggest meeting at a nearby town or wide lot, which can make pickup faster.
Will my phone start ringing after I post?
No. Companies see the route, vehicle, dates and photos, but not your name, phone, email or street address. They answer in writing, and only the company you book gets your details.
