New York to Nevada Auto Transport Challenges & Tips
Shipping a vehicle from New York to Nevada comes with specific considerations. Here's what you need to know before booking:
Wind and Snow in Wyoming
I-80 across southern Wyoming is high, open and known for strong winds. In winter, snow and wind can close long stretches of it, and trucks headed for Reno and Sparks have to wait for it to reopen.
Rocky Mountain Passes
Cars headed for Las Vegas usually cross the Rockies west of Denver on I-70, which climbs over 11,000 feet at the Eisenhower Tunnel. Winter storms there can slow or stop trucks for hours.
Las Vegas Summer Heat
Summer highs in Las Vegas can top 110 degrees. Drivers try to load and unload early in the day, so be ready for a morning delivery window in June, July and August.
Tip: Plan Your New York City Pickup
Commercial trucks are banned from New York's parkways, and many city blocks are too tight for a 75-foot carrier. Pick a large parking lot or a wide street near a truck route where the driver can stop safely, and have it in mind before the driver calls.
Tip: Get Nevada Insurance Before You Register
Nevada gives new residents 30 days to register their cars, and out-of-state insurance is not accepted. You need a policy from a Nevada-licensed insurer first. Most cars also need a VIN inspection at the DMV, and most gas and diesel cars in the Las Vegas and Reno areas need a smog check.
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.
