Ohio to Kansas Auto Transport Challenges & Tips
Ohio to Kansas is a two- to five-day run west on I-70. Work zones in Missouri, spring storms in Kansas and turnpike tolls cause most of the delays. Here's what to plan for.
Work Zones on I-70 in Missouri
Missouri is adding a third lane to much of I-70 across the state. The work zones can slow trucks between St. Louis and Kansas City, especially around Columbia.
Spring Storms in Kansas
From April through June, Kansas gets strong storms with hail, high winds and tornadoes. Carriers pull over and wait out the worst of it, which can add a few hours or a day.
Kansas Turnpike Tolls
Wichita runs use the Kansas Turnpike, a toll road, and truck tolls are part of what carriers charge. That is one reason Wichita quotes cost a bit more than the miles alone suggest.
Tip: Be Flexible on Pickup Dates
A pickup window of two or three days lets a carrier fit your car onto a full truck, which often lowers the price and firms up the schedule.
Tip: Get the Inspection Before You Title in Kansas
Kansas requires title and registration for a car kept in the state 90 days or more. Before you title, take the car and your Ohio title to a Kansas motor vehicle inspection station for an inspection form, then bring that form, the title and proof of insurance to your county treasurer's motor vehicle office.
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.
