Maine to Wyoming Auto Transport
Shipping a Car From Maine to Wyoming
Portland to Cheyenne is about 2,040 miles, around the Great Lakes and straight across the plains on I-80. Laramie is around 2,090, Gillette about 2,130, Bangor to Cheyenne close to 2,170, Portland to Casper roughly 2,220, Lewiston to Sheridan about 2,270, and Portland to Jackson around 2,470. Most cars arrive 5 to 8 days after pickup.
Maine to Wyoming moves include families relocating for space and lower taxes, buyers of homes near Jackson and Sheridan, and students at the University of Wyoming. Very few trucks run this lane directly, so cars usually ride with other westbound loads. Wyoming winters are the biggest thing to plan around.

How Cars Get From Maine to Wyoming
Most carriers cross New York on the Thruway, follow I-90 to Chicago, and ride I-80 across Iowa and Nebraska into Cheyenne. Laramie is just west over the summit, and Casper is north on I-25.
Gillette and Sheridan are usually reached on I-90 across South Dakota. Jackson and the Tetons are reached from I-80 at Rock Springs on US-191. Winter closures on I-80 are common.

Timing
When to Ship Maine to Wyoming
Wyoming winters and long lead times set the timing.
Maine Winter
From December through March, a nor'easter can delay a Maine pickup a day or more. If one is in the forecast, we'll plan around it.
Wyoming Winter
From November through April, wind and snow regularly close I-80 and I-25 for hours or days.
Summer
The easiest window, and the busiest around Jackson. Book two to three weeks ahead.
Early Fall
September is usually the smoothest window.
Pricing
How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Car From Maine to Wyoming?
Here's what decides the price on a trip to Wyoming.
Distance
At 2,000 to 2,500 miles, this is a long cross-country haul.
Less-Traveled Lane
Few trucks run Maine to Wyoming directly, so flexible dates help.
Cheyenne vs. Jackson
Cheyenne and Laramie come first. Jackson adds about 430 miles of mountain highway.
Ranch Roads
Gravel and ranch roads usually mean meeting in town.
Open or Enclosed
Enclosed is popular for nicer cars heading to Jackson.
Lead Time
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 Wyoming.
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.
Jackson and Mountain Homes
Steep, winding roads to homes around Jackson and Wilson aren't safe for a loaded carrier. Plan to meet in town.
Ranch Addresses
Long gravel drives and cattle guards keep carriers off most ranches. The driver will meet you at the county road or in town.
Portland and Southern Maine Pickups
Portland's Old Port, Munjoy Hill, and the West End have narrow, steep streets and tight parking that a full-size car hauler can't get through. South Portland, Scarborough, Westbrook, and Saco are usually easier. If your street won't work, the driver will meet you at a nearby lot off I-295 or the Maine Turnpike.
