What to know about shipping a car to or from Utah.

Most of Utah’s moves are with the West, California above all, and most Utahns live in the line of cities along I-15 from Ogden through Salt Lake to Provo, so a carrier coming up from Las Vegas or across from Reno is usually on the right road from the start. For most of the year a shipment here runs like any other on the interstate.

Can winter weather hold up a car carrier coming into Utah?

It can, mostly on I-80 east of Salt Lake, where the road climbs Parleys Canyon toward Park City and Wyoming. In bad winter weather Utah puts that stretch, and US 40 beyond it, under a traction law with a level that applies only to heavy vehicles like buses and semis, and a loaded car carrier is one of them. So on a stormy day the carrier has to put chains on or wait while ordinary cars keep moving, which is why a winter shipment to or from Wyoming, Colorado or the Midwest can lose time here even when Salt Lake itself is clear. A car coming up I-15 from California or Arizona meets none of this. For a winter delivery that comes over the mountains from the east, though, we’d leave a little room around the date.

What does a car need after it arrives in Utah?

If the move makes you a Utah resident, these are the state's rules for the car.

Deadline
Register the car within 60 days of becoming a Utah resident. Taking a job here or spending six months of a year in the state counts as becoming one.
VIN check
Every car registered in Utah for the first time needs a VIN inspection on Form TC-661. A DMV employee can do it when you register, at any Utah DMV office, and a DMV employee in your old state can also sign it.
Inspection
No safety inspection since January 1, 2018. Emissions testing only in Salt Lake, Davis, Utah, Weber and Cache counties, and a test that is due has to reach the DMV before you register. Electric cars are exempt.
Insurance
No-fault cover plus bodily injury and property damage liability, kept for the whole registration period.
Tax
No Utah sales tax on a car you bought and registered in another state before moving, though leased cars don't qualify. Registration adds a yearly fee based on the car's age in place of property tax.

Checked October 2026 against Utah Division of Motor Vehicles, Utah Code. Rules change; the state's own site has the final word.

How the contribution works →

Common questions, plainly answered.

How much does it cost to ship a car to or from Utah?

Shipping a car to or from Utah typically runs $750 to $1,850 for open transport, depending on the corridor and the car. California and Colorado lanes run $750 to $1,150, Texas $1,100 to $1,600, and the long run to Florida $1,600 to $1,850. Enclosed transport costs about 40 to 70% more, rising with distance, and once you book, the price holds for 28 days.

How long does it take to ship a car to or from Utah?

Most Utah shipments take an estimated 2 to 8 days. California, Arizona, Colorado and the Northwest run 2 to 4 days, Texas 3 to 5, and Florida 5 to 8. Where yours lands in that range depends mostly on how many other cars the driver is picking up and dropping along the way.

Do I need to register my car in Utah after shipping it?

Yes, within 60 days of becoming a Utah resident, and taking a job here counts. If you live in Salt Lake, Davis, Utah, Weber or Cache County, the car may need an emissions test first, and any car registered in Utah for the first time gets a VIN inspection, which a DMV employee can do at the same visit. There's no Utah sales tax on a car you already owned and registered in another state.

Do I pay Utah sales tax on a car I buy in Utah and ship to another state?

No, as long as the car isn't registered in Utah and leaves without being used there for more than 30 days in the year. A car that goes from the seller onto a truck clears that easily. Your home state still collects its own tax when you register the car there, so budget for that rather than for Utah's.

Are tolls included in the price?

Yes. Every toll, bridge and congestion charge the truck pays on the way is already in your quote, and nothing is added for them after you book.

What happens if weather delays my shipment?

The truck waits until the road is safe to drive, and your pickup or delivery date moves with it. We'll confirm the driver's new window with you as soon as the road reopens. Snow on the mountain passes and in the northern states, and hurricanes along the Gulf and Atlantic coasts, are the usual causes.

When am I charged?

Nothing is charged at booking. The deposit is charged 7 days before your pickup window opens, and the remaining balance is paid to the driver at delivery.

How do I ship a car?

To ship a car, request a quote with your origin, destination, and vehicle details. Sequoia matches you with a driver according to your pickup window, the driver picks up your vehicle, and delivers it at your destination.

Is my car insured during transport?

Every shipment is insured by the carrier under federal cargo liability requirements.
