Car shipping in South Dakota

South Dakota: The Mount Rushmore State. While the presidential memorial structure is the state’s top tourist attraction, another event draws in around half a million people a year: The Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. Held in a town of the same name since 1938, the event lasts ten days in late summer and is the largest of its kind in the world.  

With so many traveling to Sturgis from across the country, they need a way to get their bikes to the event without putting hundreds or thousands of miles’ worth of wear on their vehicles. There are professional auto transport companies that ship cars and trucks, but not every company has the equipment or experience to ensure safe shipping of specialty vehicles like motorcycles.

What to consider when shipping a car in South Dakota

Whether shipping a motorcycle to South Dakota for the Sturgis rally, or a different vehicle to take you around the state’s many national parks and historic sites, there are various factors you’ll need to think about. These can include transport distance; your vehicle’s year, make and model; pickup and delivery locations and time of year (demand is higher in some regions during certain seasons) and shipping method (such as an open or enclosed trailer). For instance, if you plan on shipping a motorcycle or low-clearance vehicle, it would be transported in an enclosed trailer.  

While this seems like a lot of details to sort out, a professional car shipping company will have knowledgeable customer service representatives to walk you through the process and explain your options.

Choose the best South Dakota auto transport company

To work through all these factors and ensure you’re getting the best value, find a transport company you can trust. Looking at reviews online and industry ratings will narrow down your search by revealing which carriers are reputable. Or, you can save yourself time by working with an auto transport company. Shippers work with vehicle owners to understand their needs and budget, determining which carrier can best accommodate them.

Testimonials

Our client loves us because of our quality work

If there were a 5+ rating I would use it! Roman and his team have been moving our cars between Washington and California every season for the past 5+ years. In the past we had used other services and had problems. We have never had an issue with GAS.

First time shipping a car out-of-state; obviously nervous and apprehensive. Roman thoroughly explained the process and keep me posted on actual pick up date & time.  Car arrived in Denver in the exact same condition it left Bellingham. Will certainly used GAS Motorsport again. DF

Dave Fleming

Very flexible, delivered my vehicle on a revised date and within minutes of ETA. Communications were excellent from start to finish and made the transition seem less. Would use their service again!

I moved 2 vehicles with them. Fast service at a fair price. I liked that my cars were stored inside their secure shop until pick up. Once on the truck they sent me photos and contact info for the driver. Highly recommended!
