Before You Ship & After You Arrive
What to know before your car heads to Indiana.
Registering in Indiana
New residents have 60 days to title and register with the Indiana BMV. Out-of-state vehicles need a VIN inspection, and Lake and Porter counties require emissions testing. Check in.gov/bmv for current requirements.
Indianapolis Suburbs
Carmel's roundabouts and many HOA neighborhoods aren't friendly to a loaded carrier. The driver will meet you at the entrance or a nearby lot.

Edison, New Brunswick, Princeton, and Freehold are close to the Turnpike, Route 1, and I-195. Most suburban streets work for a pickup, but cul-de-sacs and HOA neighborhoods sometimes mean meeting at the entrance.
