The cost to ship a car from Tacoma to Las Vegas is typically $1,100 to $1,300 on an open trailer, and takes between three to four days in transit time. That is a running mid-size car over about 1,100 miles, and the whole valley shares the price.

Three to four days on the road for about 1,100 miles. Your pickup window runs first: six days on Standard, three on Expedited, starting on the first date you give us.

South on I-5 to Portland, east through the Columbia River Gorge on I-84 past Boise and Ogden, then south on I-15 through St. George and into Las Vegas. Your car passes within a few miles of our Boise lane for the first day.

Yes. Henderson, North Las Vegas, Summerlin, Paradise, Spring Valley, Enterprise and Boulder City all share the Las Vegas range. Pahrump and Mesquite are a little farther out, so ask and we will quote them.

Yes, and it is a regular job for us in both directions. Give us the auction or dealer name, the lot or stock number and your buyer details, and we will arrange release and collection. Tell us if it does not run.

Vehicle size, the trailer, whether the car runs, the season and how wide your dates are. A pickup truck or a single fixed day sits near the top; a sedan with a few flexible days sits near the bottom.

Give three or four possible pickup days. A driver already running I-84 with one spot open will take a car near the route rather than backtrack, and that is the best-priced seat on this lane.

Two stretches. October and November, as winter residents head south, and the summer moving season. Book three to four weeks out then. February and early March are usually the easiest weeks.

A little, and it is easy to plan for. Snow can slow the Gorge or the climb south of Ogden for a few hours between November and March. We build in a spare day and pick a plowed spot to load.

Not the trip itself. It is worth checking tire pressure and the battery once the car has settled into Las Vegas heat, since both read differently there than in a Tacoma winter.

Open is right for most cars and it is what the price covers. Enclosed runs about 80 percent more, so a $1,200 open move is roughly $2,160 enclosed. It suits a collector car, a show car or fresh paint.

Yes. The carrier's Carrier Cargo Insurance covers it from the Tacoma pickup to the Las Vegas delivery, and we send the certificate as soon as your truck is assigned.

Usually yes, within reason. Most drivers will take a few things as a courtesy. Keep it under about 100 pounds, pack it neatly, and keep it out of sight from outside the car. Think a few boxes in the trunk rather than a carload. The one thing to know is that you are paying to move the vehicle, so the carrier's insurance covers the car itself. Keep anything you would hate to lose with you.

Wash the car, photograph each side and the odometer, and leave about a quarter tank. Take off a roof box, bike rack or Good To Go pass, and mention an alarm or any starting trick.

Curbside loading works in South Tacoma, Fife and the streets near I-5. The North End, Stadium District, Proctor and Hilltop are steeper, so the driver sets a wide lot nearby, usually on Pacific Avenue or 6th Avenue.

Yes, from a nearby lot rather than the porte-cochere. Resort driveways and parking structures are too low for a loaded carrier, so the driver picks a spot a few minutes away and hands the car over there.

Yes. Summerlin, Anthem, Seven Hills and similar communities usually need a call to the gate first. Give us the gate details when you book and we pass them to the driver.

Most gas cars do. Nevada requires it in the urban parts of Clark County, which covers the Las Vegas Valley. Electric cars, motorcycles, vehicles from 1967 or older and new vehicles on their first three registrations are exempt.

Your title or lease papers, Nevada insurance, the emissions certificate where one applies, and a VIN inspection at the DMV. The Nevada DMV New Resident Guide lists the full set.

Yes. Nellis is on the northeast side of the valley, and our Lakewood office sits next to Joint Base Lewis-McChord, so this pairing comes up often. Start with your orders, since the vehicle allowance depends on the move type.

Yes. Name them when you book and share their phone number. They can walk the car with the driver and sign the condition report at delivery.

Two to three weeks suits this lane most of the year, three to four in the fall rush. Expedited brings the pickup window down to three days when your date is fixed.

A deposit at booking holds the spot. The balance goes to the driver at delivery by cashier's check, money order or cash, or you can put the full amount on a card when you book.

Cancel any time before we assign a carrier and your deposit comes back to you. Once we assign one and send you the driver's details, that money is spoken for. It is not gone, though. You can push the move back and use it on a later shipment.

Yes. A winch truck handles it, and that adds $200 or more to the running price. Mention it at quote time so the right equipment is booked.

Close to it, and worth asking about together if you are planning a round trip. The same trucks work the corridor in both directions through the year.

Look up USDOT 2887232 on the FMCSA SAFER site, which is free, and check our BBB record: A+ and accredited since 2016. A quote far below the others is the one to question.

Yes. Call or text the driver on the number we give you, watch for our email updates, and use GPS tracking where the carrier's truck supports it.
