Door-to-door Reno car shipping where I-80 meets US-395, with a spare day for Sierra pass storms, Tahoe cars met in town, and the campus calendar built in.
Ship A Car, Inc. arranges door-to-door vehicle transport for Reno, where I-80 comes down from Donner Summit on the way in from Sacramento, US-395 runs north and south along the foot of the Sierra, the casino towers stand downtown around the arch on Virginia Street, Midtown keeps its restaurants and bars along South Virginia, the university sits on the hill north of downtown, the Truckee River runs through the middle of town, and Lake Tahoe waits up the Mount Rose Highway. Whatever carrier hauls your car out of the Truckee Meadows holds its own license and insurance, and we check both before the job is assigned to it.
Carriers working northern Nevada load along I-80 and US-395, and the lots on McCarran Boulevard near the interstate or by Meadowood Mall give a 75-foot rig room to turn a minute off the ramp. From November to April a Sierra storm can shut the pass from Sacramento for a day, so a winter date coming over it carries a spare day from the start. The residential grids take the truck to the door, the tight blocks downtown and in Midtown meet it on a wider avenue, and a Tahoe or Incline Village address meets it in town because the rig does not run the lake roads, all agreed when you book. We ship cars for Californians moving over the hill, university students on the semester calendar, new hires at the warehouses and tech campuses, and lake households, and the burn traffic crowds I-80 east of town in late August.
Speak with a coordinator now at (866) 821-4555 for pickup at any address in Reno, Sparks, Verdi, or Incline Village, or request an estimate by email through the quote calculator.
Routes beyond the Truckee Meadows are laid out in our Nevada car shipping guide, with statewide timing, seasons and pricing.
Between November and April a storm on Donner Summit can close I-80 for a day, so a winter pickup coming over from California is quoted with that spare day already inside the window.
Lake households meet the truck at the Reno lots, which is where the carriers already are, and skip the mountain roads a 75-foot rig does not run.
The quote calculator turns your route, vehicle and dates into an estimate by email, whether the car is leaving a Midtown side street or a cul-de-sac in the South Meadows, and a specialist then calls to confirm the number. One coordinator stays with the Reno order from that quote until the delivery inspection is signed.
Reno spreads from the casino blocks on Virginia Street out to the subdivisions of the South Meadows. Here is what moves the price:
Reno sits where I-80 meets US-395 at the foot of the Sierra. On the table below, the Sacramento row is the middle half of our own Nevada to California open-carrier orders since 2023, a one-way figure for cars leaving the state, and the Boise, Denver, Chicago and New York rows show what customers paid for moves of similar length in our bookings between September 2025 and August 2026.
Every figure here prices a running sedan on an open trailer leaving or reaching the Truckee Meadows. Larger vehicles and cars that do not run price higher, and an enclosed trailer adds about a third. Your own Reno address gets an emailed estimate through the quote calculator, and a coordinator at (866) 821-4555 can price it too. No deposit is taken until a carrier is assigned to your move.
The Biggest Little City sign still stands over Virginia Street downtown.
I-80 over the Sierra closes for a day at a time in a winter storm, and the window carries it.
The old motel strip became the restaurant district, on blocks the truck meets on the avenue.
Tahoe sits forty minutes up the mountain, and its cars meet the truck in Reno.
Please note: Reno’s Sacramento figure comes from our own Nevada to California open-carrier orders since 2023 and applies in that direction only. Boise, Denver, Chicago and New York come from what customers paid for trips of similar length from September 2025 to August 2026. Weather on the pass, fuel and the car itself move the real number, and the specialist who calls after your emailed estimate confirms it.
