Washington to Missouri Auto Transport
Shipping a Car From Washington to Missouri
Seattle to Kansas City is about 1,965 miles, across the Rockies and down the Missouri River. Lee's Summit is around 1,985, Columbia about 2,090, Springfield close to 2,130, and St. Louis roughly 2,215. Most cars arrive 4 to 5 days after pickup.
Washington to Missouri moves are usually job relocations to Kansas City and St. Louis, families moving closer to relatives, and students at Mizzou and WashU. Very few trucks run this lane directly, so two weeks of notice helps.

Timing
When to Ship Washington to Missouri
Mountain passes and Plains storms set the timing.
Snoqualmie Pass
From November through March, snow and chain rules on I-90 over Snoqualmie Pass can push a Seattle pickup back a day.
Blue Mountains
Snow on I-84 over the Blue Mountains in eastern Oregon can hold a southeast-bound truck a day in winter.
Wyoming Wind
From November through March, high wind and blowing snow can close I-80 across southern Wyoming for a day.
Spring Storms
From April through June, severe weather across Nebraska and Missouri can hold a truck a few hours.
Pricing
How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Car From Washington to Missouri?
Here's what affects price on a Washington to Missouri shipment.
Kansas City vs. St. Louis
Kansas City comes first. St. Louis adds about 250 miles on I-70.
Very Few Trucks
Few carriers run Washington to Missouri directly, so flexible dates help.
Ozarks Delivery
Lake homes around the Lake of the Ozarks and Branson often mean meeting in town.
Pickup Location
Seattle and Vancouver cost about the same on this lane.
Open or Enclosed
Open is standard. Enclosed is worth it for a classic or a high-end car.
Lead Time
Two weeks of notice gives us the best shot at your date.
Your Quote Is Your Final Price
Your quote is your final price, good for 7 days, with nothing due until a carrier is assigned.

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.
Kansas City Suburbs
HOA rules in Lee's Summit and the Northland often mean meeting at the neighborhood entrance.
St. Louis Streets
Older St. Louis neighborhoods have narrow streets and alleys. Plan to meet on a main road.
Vancouver and Southwest Washington Pickups
Vancouver, Camas, and Battle Ground are reached on I-5 and I-205 just across the river from Portland. Townhome communities often restrict car haulers, so the driver may meet you at the entrance.
