Louisiana to Nevada Auto Transport
Shipping a Car From Louisiana to Nevada
Shreveport to Las Vegas is about 1,415 miles, west through Dallas and Amarillo on I-40 and across the Hoover Dam bypass. Lafayette to Las Vegas is around 1,640, Baton Rouge to Henderson about 1,650, New Orleans to Las Vegas close to 1,730, Shreveport to Reno roughly 1,860, and New Orleans to Reno around 2,140. Most cars arrive 4 to 7 days after pickup.
Louisiana to Nevada moves include job relocations to Las Vegas and Reno, retirees heading to Henderson and Summerlin, and people drawn by Nevada's lack of a state income tax. Las Vegas and Reno are very different trips. Desert heat and winter weather on I-40 are what to plan around.

The Route
How Cars Get From Louisiana to Nevada
Most carriers head west on I-20 to Dallas, then up to Amarillo and across I-40 through Albuquerque and Flagstaff. From Kingman,US-93 crosses the Hoover Dam bypass into Henderson and Las Vegas. Some South Louisiana loads take I-10 to Phoenix and come up US-93 from there.
Reno and Carson City are a longer trip, usually by way of I-80 from Salt Lake City or up through California. Gated communities in Henderson and Summerlin often restrict trucks, so tell us about any gate when you book.

Approximate distances. The exact route depends on the carrier's other stops.
Timing
When to Ship Louisiana to Nevada
Desert heat and I-40 winters set the timing.
Summer Heat
Easy to schedule, but morning drop-offs are best when the valley hits 110.
Winter on I-40
Snow near Flagstaff and Albuquerque can hold a truck a day from December through February.
Hurricane Season
From June through November, a Gulf storm can delay a Louisiana pickup a day or more. If one is in the forecast, we'll reschedule around it.
Spring
Usually the smoothest window.
Pricing
How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Car From Louisiana to Nevada?
Here's what decides the price on a cross-country trip like this.

Before You Ship & After You Arrive
What to know before your car heads to Nevada.
Registering in Nevada
New residents have 30 days to register with the Nevada DMV. Out-of-state vehicles need a VIN inspection, and the Las Vegas and Reno areas require emissions testing for many vehicles. Check dmv.nv.gov for current requirements.
Gated Communities
Summerlin, Henderson, and many newer valley neighborhoods restrict big trucks. The driver will meet you at the gate or a nearby lot.
Lake Tahoe Homes
Steep, narrow roads around the lake aren't safe for a loaded carrier, especially in winter. Plan to meet in Carson City or Reno.
Acadiana and Southwest Louisiana Pickups
Lafayette, Lake Charles, Houma, and the smaller towns in between are easy off I-10 and I-49, but rural roads, narrow bayou bridges, and long gravel drives can be tough for a loaded carrier. The driver will meet you in town or on a main highway if your road won't work.
