Door-to-door Manhattan, Kansas car shipping between K-State and Fort Riley, with PCS report dates, gate-side lots for post housing, and Tuttle Creek hand-offs.
Ship A Car, Inc. arranges door-to-door vehicle transport for Manhattan, the Little Apple in the Flint Hills, where Kansas State fills the north side of town, Fort Riley sits fifteen minutes west, I-70 runs ten minutes south, Aggieville keeps its bars and bookstores at the campus edge, Tuttle Creek dams the Big Blue to the north, and the tallgrass prairie rolls away from every edge of the city. Whether the car belongs to a soldier or a student, we give it only to a carrier whose license and insurance we have checked and that has cleared our vetting.
Two calendars shape car shipping here: Fort Riley report dates, which run all year and peak in summer, and the K-State weeks of late August move-in and mid-May move-out, each worth about three weeks of notice. The K-177 exit brings a carrier off I-70 into town, and the lots on Tuttle Creek Boulevard and Fort Riley Boulevard give a 75-foot rig room to load. Carriers do not drive onto the post, so on-post housing meets the truck at a lot outside the gate in Junction City or on the Manhattan side, set when you book. Campus streets and the Aggieville blocks are too tight for a hauler and meet it on Tuttle Creek Boulevard, while the west-side subdivisions take it to the door. We ship cars for PCS moves, students and their parents, and families moving in or out of Riley County.
Speak with a coordinator now at (866) 821-4555 for pickup at any address in Manhattan, Junction City, Fort Riley, or Riley County, or request an estimate by email through the quote calculator.
For trips that run beyond the Flint Hills, our Kansas car shipping guide covers statewide routes, seasonal timing and prices.
Fort Riley PCS moves get a window worked backward from the report date; August and May student pickups get set three weeks out.
Carriers running I-70 between Kansas City and Denver reach town by the K-177 exit, so a pickup here can ride a truck already on that route instead of a special trip.
Enter the route, the vehicle and your dates in the quote calculator and an estimate arrives by email before a specialist calls to confirm the price. One coordinator follows a Manhattan order from that first number to the delivery inspection, so a report date that slides or a move-in day that changes reaches someone who already knows the car.
Manhattan sits on K-177 a short drive north of I-70, between Topeka and Junction City. Five things move your number:
Manhattan cars load in a west-side driveway, at a Tuttle Creek Boulevard lot, or at a meeting point outside a Fort Riley gate. The five rows below, for Denver, San Antonio, Norfolk, Jacksonville and Sacramento, are distance bands: what customers paid for open-carrier moves of similar length in our bookings between September 2025 and August 2026.
Read the table as running-sedan prices on an open trailer. Expect to pay more for a crew-cab pickup, an SUV or a car that will not start, and about a third more for an enclosed trailer. To price your own Manhattan move around a report date or a semester, use the quote calculator or call (866) 821-4555. No deposit is taken until a carrier is assigned to your move.
The nickname is on the water tower and the welcome signs.
The post of the Big Red One sits fifteen minutes west.
Konza Prairie, south of town, protects more than 8,000 acres of native tallgrass that Kansas State scientists study.
The shopping district at the campus edge dates to 1889.
Please note: The Manhattan figures for Denver, San Antonio, Norfolk, Jacksonville and Sacramento come from moves of comparable distance in our bookings from September 2025 to August 2026. PCS season, the K-State calendar, fuel and the vehicle itself all shift the final price, which a specialist confirms by phone after the calculator emails your estimate.
