Louisiana to Utah Auto Transport
Shipping a Car From Louisiana to Utah
Shreveport to Salt Lake City is about 1,500 miles, through Dallas and Denver and across Wyoming on I-80. Shreveport to Moab is around 1,335, St. George about 1,450, Provo close to 1,455, Baton Rouge to Salt Lake City roughly 1,745, and New Orleans to Salt Lake City around 1,815. Most cars arrive 4 to 7 days after pickup.
Louisiana to Utah moves are usually job relocations to Salt Lake City and Lehi, families heading to St. George, and students at BYU and the University of Utah. Few trucks run this lane directly, so lead time matters. Mountain passes in winter are the biggest thing to plan around.

The Route
How Cars Get From Louisiana to Utah
Most carriers head west on I-20 to Dallas, northwest across the Texas Panhandle to Denver, and over Wyoming on I-80 into Salt Lake City. Provo and the south valley loads often come across on I-70and US-6 instead, and Moab is just off I-70 on US-191.
St. George is usually reached through Flagstaff on I-40 and north on US-89, or by way of Las Vegas on I-15. Park City and canyon homes take extra planning in winter.

Timing
When to Ship Louisiana to Utah
Mountain winters and long lead times set the timing.
Mountain Winter
From November through March, snow in Wyoming and the Colorado mountains can hold a truck a day or more.
Summer
The busiest time for moves. Book two to three weeks ahead.
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 and Fall
Usually the smoothest windows.
Pricing
How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Car From Louisiana to Utah?
Here's what decides the price on a cross-country trip like this.
Distance
At 1,300 to 1,800 miles, this is a long cross-country trip.
Wasatch Front vs. Southern Utah
Salt Lake City and Provo are the main stops. St. George and Moab take a different route.
Canyon and Ski Homes
Steep roads in Park City and the canyons often mean meeting in town.
Vehicle Size
Pickups and SUVs take more trailer space than a sedan.
Open or Enclosed
Enclosed keeps winter road grime off a nicer car.
Lead Time
Two or three weeks of notice gives us the best shot at your date.

Before You Ship & After You Arrive
What to know before your car heads to Utah.
Registering in Utah
New residents have 60 days to register with the Utah DMV. Out-of-state vehicles need a VIN inspection, and several Wasatch Front counties require emissions testing. Check dmv.utah.gov for current requirements.
Park City and Canyon Homes
Steep, winding roads to ski homes and canyon properties aren't safe for a loaded carrier, especially in winter. Plan to meet in town.
Utah Registration
Cars coming from out of state need a VIN inspection, and Salt Lake, Utah, Davis, Weber, and Cache counties require an emissions test.
Shreveport, Monroe, and North Louisiana Pickups
Shreveport, Monroe, Ruston, and Alexandria pickups run off I-20 and I-49. Most streets work fine, though older neighborhoods and rural roads can be tight. Fewer trucks pass through North Louisiana than New Orleans, so a flexible pickup window helps.

Usually 4 to 6 days from Shreveport and 5 to 7 days from South Louisiana.
How much does it cost to ship a car from Louisiana to Utah?
It depends on your exact addresses, the vehicle, open or enclosed, and the season. Request a quote for a final price, good for 7 days.
Can you deliver to a student at BYU or the University of Utah?
Yes. We'll set up a meeting spot near campus in Provo or Salt Lake City.
Can you deliver to a ski home in Park City?
Usually to a lot in town, since many mountain roads are too steep for a loaded carrier.
Should I ship or drive from Louisiana to Utah?
Driving takes three long days or more. For most people shipping costs about the same and saves 1,500-plus miles of wear.
Can you ship a car from Utah back to Louisiana?
Yes. Request a quote with your Utah pickup address and your Louisiana delivery address. Every shipment is door-to-door.
Is my car insured during transport?
Yes. Every carrier we work with must carry active cargo insurance. Your car's condition is recorded on the Bill of Lading at pickup and checked again at delivery. Personal items left in the car aren't covered.
Do I have to pay upfront?
No. There's $0 due at booking. Once a carrier is assigned, you can pay a deposit and the balance to the driver at delivery by cash or check, or pay in full at that point.
