Car Shipping To and From Minnesota
Most Minnesota car shipping starts or ends in the Twin Cities, where I-94 and I-35 meet. We move vehicles to and from Minneapolis, St. Paul and the rest of the state for dealers and private owners, anywhere in the continental U.S.
- Twin Cities, Rochester and Duluth
- Open and enclosed carriers
- A real person prices every move
Minnesota corridors
I-94 crosses the state from the Wisconsin line through St. Paul and Minneapolis, then northwest past St. Cloud toward Fargo. I-35 comes up from Iowa, splits into I-35W through Minneapolis and I-35E through St. Paul, rejoins north of the metro and runs on to Duluth. I-90 runs across the southern edge of the state through Albert Lea and Austin, a short way south of Rochester.
In the metro, the I-494 and I-694 beltway connects the suburbs where most metro pickups and deliveries are: Bloomington, Eden Prairie, Plymouth, Maple Grove, Eagan, Burnsville and Woodbury. Outside the Twin Cities, Rochester, Duluth, St. Cloud and Mankato are the other common stops.
Minnesota dealers
Twin Cities dealers trade with stores across the Upper Midwest, from Wisconsin and Iowa to the Dakotas. We move those dealer trades, plus auction buys, new vehicle deliveries to customers, rental and fleet units, and off-lease returns. Put several units on one order and we plan the load.
FCT can also be the backup hauler when your regular carrier drops a load. The driver and truck are confirmed before pickup, and one contact handles every order. If you need the delivery window in writing, ask about loads on the Guaranteed Delivery Rate.
Private owners, snowbirds and students
Many Minnesotans spend the winter in Arizona, Texas or Florida and ship a car each way instead of driving it. We book both legs. We also ship cars for people relocating for work, for students at the University of Minnesota, and for families moving a car to or from a job at Mayo Clinic in Rochester.
If you bought a car from a seller in another state, we pick it up and bring it home. Everyday vehicles ride on open carriers; restored classics and exotics can go enclosed. If you are timing a move around the seasons, see seasonal car shipping.
Shipping with FCT, start to finish
Send us the pickup and drop-off, the vehicle and the ready date. A person on our desk near Charlotte, NC prices the move; there is no automatic rate. We do not have a Minnesota location, so everything runs by phone, email and our portal.
After you book, we vet the carrier and confirm the driver and truck. You get the pickup window and the expected delivery window before the truck rolls, and if plans change on the road, FCT tells you first. In the portal at fctorders.com, you sign in with your email and a 6-digit code to see the driver's location while the driver is active and the delivery BOL once the car arrives.

Minnesota car shipping questions
Do you serve both Minneapolis and St. Paul?
Yes. We pick up and deliver across the Twin Cities and suburbs such as Bloomington, Eden Prairie, Plymouth, Maple Grove, Eagan and Woodbury.
Can you ship my car to Arizona or Florida for the winter?
Yes. We ship snowbird cars south and back again, and the same contact handles both legs.
Do you ship to Duluth and northern Minnesota?
Yes. Duluth is on I-35 and is a regular stop. Smaller towns further north take more planning, and we tell you what is possible when we quote.
