Illinois to Wyoming Auto Transport
Shipping a Car From Illinois to Wyoming
Chicago to Cheyenne is about 970 miles, straight west on I-80. Laramie is a little farther, and Jackson Hole is closer to 1,400. It's two to four days of driving.
Wyoming draws Chicagoans for wide-open space and no state income tax, and Jackson Hole has long been a second-home spot for North Shore families who ship a car out for ski season or summer. We also ship for families relocating to Cheyenne and Sheridan, students at the University of Wyoming, and energy workers heading to Gillette and Casper.

The Route
How Cars Get From Illinois to Wyoming
Cheyenne, Laramie, and southern Wyoming loads ride I-80 straight across Iowa and Nebraska. Casper is north of Cheyenne on I-25, and Sheridan and Gillette are reached on I-90 through South Dakota.
Jackson Hole sits far from any interstate. Trucks usually leave I-80 at Rock Springs and head north over mountain passes, or come in from Idaho Falls. It takes the most planning, especially in winter.
Along the Way

Approximate distances. The exact route depends on the carrier's other stops.
Timing
When to Ship Illinois to Wyoming
Wyoming weather sets the calendar on this route.
Wyoming Winter
Snow and blowing drifts can shut I-80 and I-25 for hours or days at a time between October and April.
Jackson Hole Seasons
Late May and early December are popular for shipping cars to second homes. Book a couple of weeks ahead.
Cheyenne Frontier Days
Late July fills Cheyenne. Plan deliveries around it.
Summer
Usually the smoothest time to ship, though Yellowstone traffic slows roads near Jackson.
Pricing
How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Car From Illinois to Wyoming?
Here's what affects the price on this route.
Distance
Cheyenne is about 970 miles from Chicago. Jackson Hole is closer to 1,400.
Interstate vs. Backcountry
Cheyenne, Laramie, and Casper sit on major interstates, so trucks pass through regularly. Teton County is a detour that adds time and cost.
Delivery Area
Cities are easy. Jackson Hole and ranch properties take more planning.
Open or Enclosed
Open is the standard. Enclosed is popular for luxury SUVs and classics heading to Jackson Hole.
Vehicle Size
Pickups and full-size SUVs take more trailer space than sedans, so they cost more to ship.
Wind Closures
High-wind warnings on I-80 between Laramie and Rawlins can keep trailers parked. Build a day of cushion into your plans.
Your Quote Is Your Final Price
The price on your quote is the price you pay. Good for 7 days, with $0 due at booking.

Before You Ship & After You Arrive
A few Wyoming-specific things worth knowing.
Registering in Wyoming
New residents title and register at the county treasurer's office. Out-of-state vehicles need a VIN inspection, but Wyoming doesn't require a safety or emissions inspection. Check dot.state.wy.us for current requirements.
Second-Home Deliveries
Shipping a car to a Jackson Hole place for the season? We'll plan the drop-off and the return trip around your dates.
Ranch Deliveries
Long gravel roads and cattle guards can be tough for a big carrier. The driver may meet you at the highway or in town.
Illinois Pickups
Chicago alleys, permit-only parking, high-rise garages, and tight streets in neighborhoods like Lincoln Park and Wicker Park can keep a big carrier off your block. If so, the driver will set up a nearby meeting spot, usually a lot just off I-90/94, I-55, I-57, I-80, I-88, or I-294.
