Approximate distances. The exact route depends on the carrier's other stops.
Timing
When to Ship Pennsylvania to Missouri
Winter and St. Louis traffic set the timing.
Pennsylvania Mountains
Snow on the Turnpike, I-80, and I-81 through the Alleghenies can push a pickup back a day.
St. Louis Traffic
Rush hour on I-70 and I-64 through St. Louis can add hours. Drivers time deliveries around it.
Ozark Ice
A few times a winter, ice on the hills around Springfield and Branson can hold a delivery a day.
Fall
Usually the smoothest window.
Pricing
How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Car From Pennsylvania to Missouri?

St. Louis vs. the Rest
St. Louis comes first. Columbia, Springfield, and Kansas City add 125 to 255 miles.
Pickup Location
Pittsburgh is closest. Philadelphia adds about 305 miles.
Lake Delivery
Lake homes around Branson and Lake of the Ozarks often mean meeting in town.

Before You Ship & After You Arrive
What to know before your car heads to Missouri.
Registering in Missouri
New residents have 30 days to title and register at a license office. Out-of-state vehicles need a VIN check, and the St. Louis area requires emissions testing. Check dor.mo.gov for current inspection rules.
Ozark Lake Roads
Steep, winding roads around Table Rock Lake and Lake of the Ozarks aren't safe for a loaded carrier. Plan to meet in town.
Missouri Inspection
Cars coming from out of state need a safety inspection and a VIN check before you title in Missouri.
Pittsburgh Pickups
Pittsburgh, Cranberry, Monroeville, and the South Hills sit where I-76, I-79, and I-376 meet. Steep hills and tight neighborhood streets often mean meeting at a lot near the interstate.

Usually 2 to 3 days after pickup.
How much does it cost to ship a car from Pennsylvania to Missouri?
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 Mizzou or Washington University?
Yes. We'll set up a meeting spot near campus and avoid game days when possible.
Can you deliver to a lake home near Branson?
Usually to a lot in town, since lake roads are steep and narrow.
Should I ship or drive from Pennsylvania to Missouri?

Can you ship a car from Missouri back to Pennsylvania?
Yes. Request a quote with your Missouri pickup address and your Pennsylvania 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.
