Timing
When to Ship West Virginia to Idaho
Winter on I-80 sets the timing on this route.
Mountain Snow
From December through March, snow on I-64, I-77, and I-79 through the mountains can push a pickup back a day.
Ohio Valley Ice
Freezing rain along the Ohio River around Huntington and Parkersburg can slow a pickup 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.
Snake River Plain
Wind and blowing snow on I-84 across southern Idaho can close the road for a few hours in winter.

How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Car From West Virginia to Idaho?
Here's what affects price on a West Virginia to Idaho shipment.

At roughly 2,100 to 2,300 miles, this is a true cross-country haul.

Before You Ship & After You Arrive
What to know before your car heads to Idaho.
Registering in Idaho
New residents title and register at the county assessor's office. Out-of-state vehicles need a VIN inspection. Check itd.idaho.gov for current requirements, including any local emissions rules.
Treasure Valley Subdivisions
New subdivisions in Meridian, Eagle, and Kuna often have truck rules. Plan to meet at the entrance.
Dry Climate
Idaho is far drier than West Virginia, with dusty summers. A good wash on arrival helps.
Charleston Pickups
Charleston, South Charleston, and St. Albans sit where I-64, I-77, and I-79 meet, so carriers pass through every day. Hillside streets and narrow hollows usually mean meeting at a lot near the interstate.
