Door-to-door Box Elder car shipping worked backward from the Ellsworth report date, with gate-side hand-offs off I-90 and winter blizzard closures planned around.
Ship A Car, Inc. arranges door-to-door vehicle transport for Box Elder, the city on I-90 east of Rapid City that grew up around the gates of Ellsworth Air Force Base, where the B-1 wing flies, Liberty Boulevard and the new subdivisions fill in toward the city line, and the Badlands lie farther east along I-90. On an Ellsworth move, the carrier hauling your car is licensed and insured, and our team vetted it before the assignment.
We plan PCS moves for airmen and families reporting to Ellsworth or leaving it, working back from the report date. Inside the lower 48 the military generally does not ship a member’s car, since members drive and are reimbursed for the trip, so a car that goes by truck is a private booking we time to your orders. The Box Elder and Liberty Boulevard exits off I-90 put a 75-foot rig on wide pavement near the main gate within minutes, and the newer subdivisions off Liberty Boulevard have broad streets and driveways the truck can use. Car haulers do not drive onto the base, so on-base housing meets the driver at a lot outside the main gate, agreed at booking, and between November and April we plan around blizzard closures on I-90.

If orders or a new job take the car elsewhere in the state, our South Dakota car shipping guide covers each region with its routes, seasons and price ranges.
PCS moves get a pickup window worked backward from the report date, with a gate-side hand-off agreed at booking.
Two exits and the gate-side lots put carriers on the Rapid City to Sioux Falls lane onto Box Elder streets without a detour.
Report date in hand, run the quote calculator with your route, vehicle and dates for an emailed estimate, and a specialist will call to confirm the price. The coordinator assigned at booking keeps the order through the inspection at delivery, so you are not passed between desks while you out-process.
Box Elder sits on I-90 just east of Rapid City, with Ellsworth’s gates at the edge of town. Five things move your number:
Box Elder's five rows are priced by distance, whichever direction the car travels. Our bookings between September 2025 and August 2026 supply each band as the middle half of what customers paid for open-carrier moves comparable in length to the trips to Colorado Springs, Seattle, Phoenix, San Antonio and Norfolk.
These bands are what a sedan costs on an open trailer, PCS move or not. A lifted truck or a family SUV takes more room on the deck and a car that will not start needs the winch, so each costs more, and enclosed transport adds about a third. The quote calculator emails an estimate for your Box Elder route, and a coordinator at (866) 821-4555 can walk through it with you before the report date. No deposit is taken until a carrier is assigned to your move.

Please note: Box Elder’s figures for Colorado Springs, Seattle, Phoenix, San Antonio and Norfolk reflect open-carrier trips of comparable distance and what customers paid for them from September 2025 to August 2026. PCS season, fuel and the vehicle you ship all move the final price, and a specialist confirms the Box Elder figure by phone before you book.
