Nevada to Louisiana Auto Transport Challenges & Tips
Shipping a vehicle from Nevada to Louisiana comes with specific considerations. Here's what you need to know before booking:
Winter Snow Near Flagstaff
I-40 climbs to about 7,000 feet around Flagstaff, Arizona, and winter storms there can close the interstate for hours. Carriers wait until it reopens, which can push a delivery back a day.
Hurricane Season
Hurricane season runs June 1 to November 30, and south Louisiana takes direct hits every few years. When a storm threatens, carriers may hold deliveries until the roads reopen and evacuation traffic clears.
The Atchafalaya Basin Bridge
Between Lafayette and Baton Rouge, I-10 crosses the swamp on an 18-mile bridge with only a couple of exits and narrow shoulders. A single crash there can back traffic up for miles.
Tip: Plan Around Mardi Gras
During the Carnival season leading up to Mardi Gras, parades close many New Orleans streets for days at a time. If you are shipping to New Orleans in January or February, check the parade schedule and pick a delivery spot away from the routes.
Tip: Register Within 30 Days in Louisiana
Louisiana law gives new residents 30 days to register their cars and get a Louisiana safety inspection sticker. The clock starts on the day you get your Louisiana driver's license.
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.
