Door-to-door Watford City car shipping on US-85 in the oil patch, with delivery to wherever you are staying, work trucks priced right, and real bands.
Ship A Car, Inc. arranges door-to-door vehicle transport for Watford City, the McKenzie County seat on US-85 in the middle of the Bakken, where the oil traffic runs the highway day and night, the town built a bypass, a hospital, and a school in a decade to keep up, the badlands of the park’s north unit begin fifteen minutes south, Lake Sakakawea is half an hour east, and the nearest interstate is an hour and a half south at Belfield. Your car rides with a licensed, insured carrier we vet before it is assigned.
Watford City sits an hour and a half off I-94 on US-85, and its car shipping runs on a window told straight: a carrier comes up US-85 from the interstate through the oil traffic to reach the town, so the window runs 3-5 days rather than 2-3, and a Watford City pickup sits toward the top of a band for it. The lots along the bypass at US-85 or on Main Street at the south end take a 75-foot rig where the pavement is wide. Crews shipping a work truck to the next lease, hires arriving to a hotel or a camp before their housing is ready, families who came for the field pay and stayed for the new school, and lake households who meet the truck in town are the shipments we see most. The grids take the truck to the door; a lease road or a gravel section road meets it at the pavement, agreed at booking, and the northern winter carries two days of flex up front from November to April.

Crews arriving before their housing is ready take delivery at the hotel or the camp lot, with a secure hold if the start date moves, and the address changes without a fee before dispatch.
A full-size pickup with a rack and a toolbox takes a top-deck spot and prices above a sedan; we tell you the number before you book, not at the ramp.
Enter your lane, vehicle, and dates in the instant calculator and dispatch books from that figure. One coordinator handles the move from booking to the delivery inspection.
Watford City prices off the interstate, an hour and a half up US-85. Five things move your number:
Watford City callers want the price before anything else. North Dakota and its Plains neighbors book enough orders on each of these lanes for a reliable middle, so the bands below are standard-sedan open-transport lanes into and out of the northern Plains, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, and Montana, that we have booked since 2023, shown as the middle of the market rather than the cheapest or the most expensive order.
Planning figures, not a quote. Enclosed adds about a third, a Watford City pickup sits toward the top of a band, and a pickup or a non-running car prices above a sedan. For the real number on your route use the instant calculator or call (866) 821-4555. No deposit is taken until a carrier is assigned to your move.
The oil traffic runs it day and night, and the town built a bypass to get around it.
The town built a hospital, a school, and the bypass in ten years to keep up with the field.
The park’s north unit begins fifteen minutes south, the quiet end of the field.
Sakakawea is half an hour east, and its cabin cars meet the truck in town.
Please note: Estimates on this page are middle-of-the-market bands for standard sedans on open carriers from northern Plains (ND, SD, NE, MT) lanes booked since 2023. Season, fuel, route, and vehicle change the real number, and your calculator quote is the accurate figure.
