Shipping a car in Ohio
Ohio has several large cities close together on I-70, I-71 and I-75, which makes it easy for carriers to fill a truck here. Honda builds cars in Marysville and East Liberty, Jeep in Toledo, and Wright-Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton brings military moves.
Main routes: I-70, I-71, I-75, I-77 and I-80/90.
Cities we serve include Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Toledo, Dayton and Akron, plus every other town in Ohio: if a truck can reach it, you can post it.

When to ship to and from Ohio
Winter weather
Winters in Ohio 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.
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 Ohio?
Once the car arrives, register it with the Ohio BMV (deputy registrar 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.
