Auto Shipping by State: Kansas

When you're looking to ship a car to Kansas, you should probably know a bit about the state, especially if you're moving there and have never been there before. It's probably best known for its huge swaths of farmland, dominated by a variety of different crops including corn, wheat, and, of course, livestock. The trouble with the state, really, is the lack of major interstates running through it. There are only a few east-west routes that auto shippers can travel along, and since Kansas is fairly rural a lot of car shippers don't like going there because there's a definitive lack of customers.

With loads scarce and auto shippers reluctant to travel through the state, prices per-mile are mildly higher than it is in other regions of the country. Weather can play a big factor, and many shippers may also be reluctant to travel through the state during tornado season or during the winter months. You should talk to your auto transport representative about when the best time to ship a vehicle to or from Kansas would be, if you have the time to spare, and you can read more about the state on our Kansas Auto Shipping page.
