South Dakota
Car shipping to and from South Dakota
South Dakota is a long way from our desk near Charlotte, and that is fine: we ship anywhere in the continental U.S. We book vetted carriers into Sioux Falls, Rapid City and the towns in between, and one person at FCT handles your move from quote to drop-off.
- I-90 and I-29 corridors
- Dealers and individual owners
- One point of contact from quote to drop-off
Two interstates carry most of the state
Almost every South Dakota shipment rides I-90 or I-29 for part of the trip. I-90 crosses the whole state east to west, from Sioux Falls past Mitchell and Chamberlain out to Rapid City and the Black Hills. I-29 runs north and south along the eastern edge, through Sioux Falls and Brookings toward Fargo and down toward Sioux City.
Sioux Falls, where the two meet, is usually the simplest place in the state to book a pickup. Rapid City, on the western end of I-90, is the hub for the Black Hills. Smaller towns away from the interstates can still be served. Give us the exact address and we plan the pickup around it. Flexible dates make a rural pickup easier to book, and we tell you plainly what the options are.
Dealers in the Upper Midwest
South Dakota stores often buy from well outside the state, which makes transport a regular line on the deal. We bring auction purchases to your lot, run dealer trades with stores in neighboring states, and deliver sold units to customers who live in another state. Fleets, rental units and off-lease returns move the same way, one car or several.
When the carrier you normally use falls through, we can step in as the backup hauler. Every order goes through the same contact, so you are not explaining the deal twice. The dealer desk page shows what to send.
Moving a car to or from South Dakota yourself
Individual moves here tend to be long ones. A family relocates to Sioux Falls for work. A service member reports to Ellsworth Air Force Base near Rapid City. A student heads to South Dakota State in Brookings or the University of South Dakota in Vermillion. Someone buys a pickup or a classic from a seller across the country and needs it brought home.
For a long cross-country run, an open trailer suits most daily drivers. Collector cars and high-value cars ride enclosed. The car shipping guide walks through the whole process if this is your first time.
What happens after you call
A real person at our desk prices your move. There is no price table and no instant quote, because the number depends on the lane, the trailer and your dates. Once you book, we pick a carrier that has been vetted before it ever touches the car, and every shipment is fully insured. You know the driver and truck before pickup.
Before the truck rolls, we confirm the pickup window and the expected delivery window with you. Should plans change on the road, FCT calls you before anyone else does. You can also log in at fctorders.com with your email and a 6-digit code, no password, to see the driver's live location while the driver is active and the delivery BOL once the car is dropped off.
Cars that do not run can usually be shipped. They need different loading equipment, so mention it when you ask for a quote.
