It depends on how far the car goes. Sioux Falls, Denver, Billings and Cheyenne are all under 500 miles, at $450 to $900. Minneapolis, Omaha, Chicago, Dallas, Seattle and Los Angeles fall between 500 and 1,500 miles, at $900 to $1,600. New York, Raleigh, Orlando and Miami run $1,250 to $2,100.

They are our national bands, and we are open about that. We have not measured Black Hills lanes one by one yet. Give us two zip codes and we will send a real price for your trip.

One to three days for Sioux Falls, Denver or Billings. Two to five days for Minneapolis, Chicago, Dallas or the West Coast. Four to eight days for the East Coast and Florida. Those are road days, after your collection window.

It is the time we allow to bring a truck to your door. The standard window is six days. Expedited shortens it to three.

Yes, and it is easy to plan around. The rally runs for 10 days starting the first Friday in August, and it has drawn around half a million visitors most years. Roads, hotels and parking around the Black Hills fill up that week.

Book your pickup for late July or the second half of August. If your dates are fixed inside rally week, tell us early and pick a meeting spot off the busiest roads.

Yes. Ellsworth sits about 10 miles northeast of Rapid City and is home to the 28th Bomb Wing. Tell us your report date and the schedule works back from it. Ask about our military discount too.

Plan to meet the driver just outside the gate. Base access rules change, so we agree on a nearby spot when you book. It costs nothing extra.

Name someone on the order to hand it over. A spouse, a friend or a coworker can release the car and sign the condition report.

Winter just needs a little slack. Snow on the plains can close stretches of Interstate 90 for a few hours or a day. From November to March we build a buffer day into the plan.

Late spring and fall. The roads are clear, the summer tourist rush has not started or has ended, and scheduling is quick.

All of the Black Hills. Rapid City, Box Elder, Sturgis, Spearfish, Deadwood, Lead, Hill City, Keystone, Custer and Hot Springs.

Often, yes. Some roads in the Black Hills are steep and winding, and a hauler is about 75 feet long. When a road is too tight, the driver meets you at a wide lot in town at no charge.

Yes, it is part of the price. The driver comes to your address when the road allows, and picks a close, easy spot when it does not.

Open is right for most cars and costs less. Enclosed is for a classic, a sports car, a low car or new paint, and runs about 80 percent more.

Ask us about your bike when you request a quote. Motorcycles need different equipment than cars, and availability depends on the route and the dates.

We can still ship it on a winch-equipped truck. Plan on $200 or more above the prices here.

It trims the collection window to three days instead of six. The driving time stays the same, since federal rules set a driver's hours.

Usually yes, within reason. Stick to around a hundred pounds, packed in the trunk, with the seats empty. The insurance covers the car, so keep valuables with you.

Give it a wash, clear out personal items and remove toll tags. Leave about a quarter tank. In winter, check the battery and tires. Take photos of all four sides.

Carrier Cargo Insurance, held by the carrier hauling your car. It covers the car from loading to delivery. We send you the certificate once the carrier is set.

We match it with one of the 16,000-plus carriers in our vetted network. Each has active FMCSA authority and insurance on file, and we check equipment and service history too.

Yes. SAFER, the FMCSA's free lookup, shows any carrier's authority and insurance. Search ours with USDOT 2887232 or MC 969368.

No. One truck and one driver take it from pickup to delivery.

Yes. South Dakota Mines and Black Hills State students move cars every fall and spring. Ask about our student discount when you get a quote.

For Denver or Sioux Falls, driving is often easy. For Dallas, Seattle or anywhere farther, shipping saves days on the road and hundreds of miles of wear.

No surprises there. Under the Smart Price Promise, the price we quote is the price you pay, as long as the car, route, condition and details stay the same.

Pickup and delivery zip codes, your car's year, make and model, whether it runs, and roughly when you want it moved. The calculator above takes about a minute, or call 888-709-9078.
