Nevada to Illinois Auto Transport Challenges & Tips
Shipping a vehicle from Nevada to Illinois comes with specific considerations. Here's what you need to know before booking:
Crossing the Rockies in Winter
Whether your carrier takes I-70 through Colorado or I-80 across Wyoming, the trip east crosses high, open country. From November through March, snow and strong winds can close long stretches of either road, and trucks have to wait for them to reopen.
Blowing Snow on the Plains
I-80 across Nebraska and Iowa runs through wide-open farm country. In winter, strong winds can blow snow across the road and drop visibility to almost nothing, and carriers will wait it out.
Chicago Traffic
The expressways and tollways around Chicago are some of the most congested roads in the country. A driver who hits them at rush hour can lose hours, so deliveries often go more smoothly midday.
Tip: Plan Your Chicago Delivery Spot
Many Chicago streets are narrow, lined with parked cars or under the L tracks, where a 75-foot car carrier can't fit. A large parking lot near an expressway is often the easiest place to meet the driver.
Tip: Register Within 30 Days in Illinois
New Illinois residents should title and register their cars within 30 days of moving. Bring your Nevada title, proof of Illinois insurance and proof of your Illinois address to a Secretary of State office. Cars in Cook, DuPage and Lake counties, and parts of nearby counties, need emissions tests every other year once they are four years old.
Tip: Prepare Your Vehicle Properly
Clean your car and remove personal items before pickup. Take date-stamped photos from every side, keep the gas tank at a quarter full or less, and check tire pressure. For a full checklist, read our article on Preparing Your Car for Transport.
