Everything You Need to Know About the State of Idaho (ID)
With an abundance of scenic mountains, lakes, rivers, and outdoor attractions, the state draws more than 20 million tourists each year. Idaho produces more potatoes and trout than any other state in the nation and is known as the “Gem State” for the 72 types of precious and semi-precious stones it produces—some of which are exclusive to the state. Its state capital, Boise, is also its largest city with more than 200,000 residents. Idaho gained its statehood on July 3, 1890.
Bordered by the Canadian province of British Columbia to the north and the U.S. states of Montana and Wyoming to the east, Utah, and Nevada to the south, and Oregon and Washington to the west, Idaho is twice as large as the six New England states combined.
The state flower is Syringa and the Mountain Bluebird is reckoned as the state bird. Esto Perpetua (“Let it be perpetual”)’- is the state motto.
Meriwether Lewis and members of the Corps of Discovery entered Idaho for the first time in 1805, making it the last of the U.S. states to be explored by European-Americans. Along with a reconnaissance team, William Clark attempted to find a passage across the Salmon River in August but was deterred by the churning rapids and steep rock walls. The river is often referred to as “The River of No Return.”
The state seal of Idaho is the only state seal in the United States designed by a woman. In 1891, Emma Edwards Green, who had previously attended art school in New York, entered and won a competition sponsored by the First Legislature for the State of Idaho with her depiction of a miner, a woman signifying justice and various state natural resources
Carved by the Snake River, Hell’s Canyon is North America’s deepest river gorge—even deeper than the Grand Canyon—with a width of ten miles and a depth of 7,913 feet below. He Devil Peak in the Seven Devils Mountains.
Author Ernest Hemingway, who won a Pulitzer Prize for The Old Man in the Sea in 1953 and who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature the following year, died of a self-inflicted shotgun wound in his home in Ketchum on July 2, 1961. A memorial, exhibit, and festival held near Sun Valley pay tribute to the renowned author’s accomplishments and time spent in Idaho.
Shipping Vehicles to Idaho
Idaho is a state known for its mountainous landscapes and a vast swath of protected wilderness and outdoor recreational areas. The state has a natural beauty and amazing wildlife and wide open space which makes it one of the most beautiful places in the world to live. Idaho is a place to go if you are searching for somewhere with beautiful scenery, a strong economy, low crime rates, friendly people and so many other features. Home ownership is much easier in Idaho than in other states.
People move to Idaho for several reasons and as exciting and refreshing as it sounds, transporting vehicles is not an easy task. SAC is here to make the process easy, convenient, and cost effective.
How Much Will it Cost to Ship Your Vehicle to Idaho?
The main factors that influence the cost of shipping your vehicle to Idaho are:
Distance
Type of vehicle
Type of auto carrier used
Condition of the vehicle
Distance
The cost of shipping a car or any other vehicle is not fixed. Distance is a major factor. It would cost more to transport a vehicle through a farther distance than it would if it was a shorter distance. For freight carriers, their time translates to money so longer distance equals more money. However, the cost per mile can be reduced for longer distances.
Type of Vehicle
It would be cheaper to transport a sedan than a truck. There are two major reasons for this. The weight of the vehicle affects the fuel consumption of the carrier. Heavier vehicles typically cost more to transport. Large cars take up more space in the carrier and reduce the number of vehicles that can be transported at once.
Type of Auto Carrier Used
If you are relocating a luxurious or classic car, the enclosed auto carrier is the recommended option for you. Even though it is more expensive than an open-air carrier, it provides additional security to your prized possession as the car is completely covered. Enclosed auto carriers have a drastically lower risk of exposure to the dangers of bad weather. Vehicles transported with enclosed carriers arrive earlier than those transported with open-air carriers as drivers do not have to make as many detours to unload other vehicles.
Condition of Vehicle
An operable vehicle can easily be loaded onto the carrier while an inoperable vehicle requires special equipment. It would cost more to ship an inoperable vehicle. It is important to notify your shipping company before transport that a vehicle isn’t running.
Here are a Few Things You Should Know Before Choosing a Freight Shipping Company
Reading reviews is not a waste of your time
Before shipping your vehicle it is important to use a company you trust as you are risking thousands of dollars. You can ask friends and families for recommendations. Online reviews are really helpful to track the success rate of auto companies.
Do not base your decision on price alone
When it comes to shipping, the cheaper option isn’t always the better or safer option. It is a good idea to always research the overall character of the company to make an informed decision.
Be conscious of the insurance policy
A legitimate shipping company has provisions for insurance in the event of damage to your car. Accidents might occur during shipping which could damage your car, having insurance coverage helps you cater for such events.
Flexible delivering schedule
Most auto shipping companies have a specific window of time for pickup and delivery. Strict scheduling might increase the cost of shipping your vehicle. Emergency shipping tends to attract higher shipping quotes, and having a flexible delivery schedule can be a great way of reducing the cost of shipping
How to Prepare Your Vehicle for Shipping
Here are a few steps to help you prepare for shipping;
Wash the exterior of your vehicle. Try as much as possible to make your car spotless because dirt can hide marks.
Inspect the exterior of your vehicle. Look for dents, scratches, or discolorations around your vehicle. Even existing damage should be noted.
Take pictures of the existing damage for records. In addition to noting the damage, it is also advisable to take photographs of the scratch, dents, paint chips, and any other damage. This serves as a form of proof any other damage is observed after shipping. Take the pictures from several angles and make sure the quality of the images is good.
Carry out essential vehicle maintenance. Make sure you check all fluid in the vehicle as well as the tire pressure. The battery should be fully charged. Do not fill up your tank but there should be enough fuel to drive it onto a truck if it is operable.
Remove all personal items. Clear your vehicle of any personal items such as your GPS or car charger. Doing this reduces the chances of theft, damage, or loss.
Inform the driver of any additional information. Make notes that inform the driver of any mechanical problem. Although the vehicle will be driven minimally, these notes will be helpful when driving the vehicle on and off a carrier.

Idaho is served by three transcontinental railroads. The Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) connects the Idaho Panhandle with Seattle, Portland, and Spokane to the west, and Minneapolis and Chicago to the east. The BNSF travels through Kootenai, Bonner, and Boundary counties. The Union Pacific Railroad crosses North Idaho entering from Canada through Boundary and Bonner, and proceeding to Spokane. Canadian Pacific Railway uses Union Pacific Railroad tracks in North Idaho carrying products from Alberta to Spokane and Portland, Oregon. Amtrak’s Empire Builder crosses northern Idaho, with its only stop being in Sandpoint. Montana Rail Link also operates between Billings, Montana and Sandpoint, Idaho
The Union Pacific Railroad also crosses southern Idaho traveling between Portland, Oregon, Green River, Wyoming, and Ogden, Utah and serves Boise, Nampa, Twin Falls, and Pocatello.
Idaho is among the few states in the nation without a major freeway linking its two largest metropolitan areas, Boise in the south and Coeur d’Alene in the north. US-95 links the two ends of the state, but like many other highways in Idaho, it is badly in need of repair and upgrade. In 2007, the Idaho Transportation Department stated the state’s highway infrastructure faces a $200 million per year shortfall in maintenance and upgrades. I-84 is the main highway linking the southeast and southwest portions of the state, along with I-86 and I-15. Major federal aid highways in Idaho:
Major airports include the Boise International Airport which serves the southwest region of Idaho and the Spokane International Airport (in Spokane, Washington) which serves northern Idaho. Other airports with scheduled service are the Pullman-Moscow Regional Airport serving the Palouse; the Lewiston-Nez Perce County Airport, serving the Lewis-Clark Valley and north-central and west-central Idaho; The Magic Valley Regional Airport in Twin Falls; the Idaho Falls Regional Airport; and the Pocatello Regional Airport.
The Port of Lewiston is the farthest inland Pacific port on the west coast. A series of dams and locks on the Snake River and Columbia River facilitate barge travel from Lewiston to Portland, where goods are loaded on ocean-going vessels.

Miguel got the job done. I had to pass on the 1st shipper he found because no one would be at the other end. Found me a 2nd carrier who got the car from Maryland to NM in 3 1/2 days. This is 2nd time I have used ship-a-car. They tell you upfront how long it might take. Not the case with some other shipping agents.

I needed to ship my SUV from Hanover, NH to Seattle. Fernanda Lopez was my point of contact for my shipping needs. She was prompt, patient and very helpful in accommodating my shipping dates and ensured we stayed in touch throughout the process. The quote I got was reasonable and I would venture to say cheaper than the other quotes I received, without any compromise. I received my car within 5 days and I couldn't be a more satisfied customer. High recommend ShipACar and especially Fernanda for their great service, price, and support.

Our son's Mustang delivery was just completed by Ship A Car Inc. Mike helped us through the whole process in getting the delivery scheduled. Ed was the driver and was so respectful and nice! Our son had just moved to Texas and needed his car delivered. Originally we had scheduled with another company and that was a disaster. Then we contacted Ship A Car Inc, spoke with Mike and it all worked out beautifully.

Work with Cody. Chose this company due to good reviews. Transported my vehicle cross country for work. Cost was comparable to other quotes I saw online.
Very professional and organized on the phone, detailed emails to document everything appropriately as well. Followed up as he said he would. Actual transport people also very professional, ended up delivering the car a day early which was a plus. Smooth and painless process.

From the initial pricing request to the driver dispatched and vehicle arrival, Justen and his team at Ship A Car, Inc. do everything you’d expect from a professional hauling company. We've hired multiple drivers with Justen through Ship A Car, Inc. for the transportation of our fifth-wheel and they were nothing but accommodating, professional, knowledgeable, and available to you throughout the entire shipping process. I can honestly say that this was the fastest most efficient and fairly priced company I’ve ever worked with. The drivers arrive promptly and are able to quickly load your vehicle in the correct manner with respect to your personal property and the safety of your vehicle. Justen helped me feel safe and confident in relying on Ship A Car, Inc. to move our fifth-wheel, it gave me such peace of mind. I constantly receive superior service and have been a repeat customer and have recommended Justen at Ship A Car, Inc. to our co-workers and colleagues. Looking forward to continuing to use Ship A Car, Inc. for all of my transportation needs.

I was referred to Bob Moran through Triple 7 Movers and I was very impressed and pleased with the experience of shipping my vehicle. I contacted Bob approximately a month ago and he explained in detail how the process of shipping a vehicle would be. Bob was very professional and by all means honest with me about the shipping rates of a vehicle. Bob promised me when my vehicle would be picked up and delivered and as promised it happened. Bob and I frequently talked before it was time for my vehicle to be picked and he was always available to answer any questions or concerns I had. I most definitely recommend Ship-A-Car, Inc. Again thanks Bob for all you did to get my vehicle to it’s destination secured and on time.

This was my first experience with Ship a Car. I was shipping a motorcycle and Theo Brown was the person who walked me through the entire process. His patients with all my questions and customer service skills are very much appreciated. He provided me with his direct line and provided me with the drivers information and phone number. The communication with the truck driver was awesome as well. The bike showed up on time as promised by Theo and the driver. Theo even took the time to follow up with me to make sure I recieved my bike and everything was satisfactory . I'll definately tell others about Ship a Car and Theo. Thank you very much!

The customer service at Ship A Car Inc was very good. They did what they could do for me in the time frame they could. I had just come out of a bad experience with a previous company, so I really appreciated that. They shipped my vehicle cross-country from Las Vegas to Michigan within the time frame they had said, with no damage. The price was just what they said it would be over the phone- no extras or anything. It was decently priced. The person on the phone was very professional and a good spokesperson for the company. She told me what they could allow to happen as far as delivering it on time. This was the first time I used them and I would go back again.

I would not even give this company a star. They are unprofessional and when a problem exists they dig their heads in the sand and hope it will go away rather than to be responsive and take care of the situation and make it right by the customer.. That begins with the owner, who herself has not responded to my phone calls. If you want to put your auto in the hands of a company that will let anyone drive your car...than this is the company you want otherwise stay clear, as I will in the future!
