Door-to-door Columbia, Missouri car shipping at the midpoint of I-70, with the campus calendar built in, Stadium Boulevard hand-offs, and game-day timing.
Ship A Car, Inc. arranges door-to-door vehicle transport for Columbia, the college town at the exact midpoint of I-70 between Kansas City and St. Louis, where the flagship campus fills the blocks south of the District every August, the six columns stand on the quad from the first building, the hospitals hire for the middle of the state, the football Saturdays fill Stadium Boulevard, and the town claims to have invented homecoming in 1911. The carrier that loads your car in mid-Missouri holds a valid license and insurance and has cleared our vetting before we assign it.
Two hours from both Kansas City and St. Louis, the town sits on the route of trucks loading at either end, so dispatch can use whichever one fits your dates. The lots along Providence Road and Stadium Boulevard near their I-70 exits give a 75-foot rig room to load. Neighborhood streets generally take the truck to the door; around campus and in the District the blocks are tight and parking is by permit, so those cars meet the driver on Stadium Boulevard at a spot fixed at booking, and on home-game Saturdays the hand-off moves to the morning or to Sunday. We ship for students on the campus calendar, new hires at the university and the hospitals, and graduates sending a car home in May.

For trips that reach other corners of Missouri, from St. Joseph to the Bootheel, our Missouri car shipping guide has the seasons and statewide pricing.
Kansas City and St. Louis carriers both run I-70 through Columbia, so a car here loads on whichever run comes first.
Move-in week in August and the May exodus are the two Columbia peaks, and we tell you to book three weeks out for either before you ask.
Give the quote calculator your route, car and dates, and the estimate comes to your inbox before a specialist phones to confirm the price. A single coordinator handles your order from that first quote until the car is checked in at delivery, on move-in week or any other.
Columbia sits on I-70 about halfway between Kansas City and St. Louis, with the university campus just south of downtown. Five things decide what your move costs:
The Columbia table prices a car from Providence Road, from Stadium Boulevard or from your own door, and it has no lanes of our own: Kansas City, Nashville, Detroit, Jacksonville and Los Angeles are distance bands, the middle half of what customers paid for open-carrier moves of similar length in our bookings between September 2025 and August 2026.
These ranges are built for a running sedan on an open trailer, so a graduate's pickup truck, a large SUV or a car that will not start costs more, and enclosed transport adds about a third. For your own Columbia pickup, check the quote calculator or call (866) 821-4555. No deposit is taken until a carrier is assigned to your move.
Two hours to Kansas City, two hours to St. Louis, and carriers from both.
Six columns from the first academic building still stand on the quad.
The town claims to have invented it in 1911, and the October weekend still proves it.
Downtown’s narrow blocks run into campus, and the truck meets them on Stadium Boulevard.
Please note: All five Columbia rows, Kansas City, Nashville, Detroit, Jacksonville and Los Angeles, are priced by distance from what customers paid between September 2025 and August 2026. The campus calendar, fuel and your exact address can still move the number, so once your estimate is emailed, a specialist phones to confirm the final figure.
