Everything You Need to Know About the State of Kansas (KS)
Kansas whose capital is Topeka is bordered by Nebraska in the north; Missouri in the east; Oklahoma in the south; and Colorado in the west. The state is divided into 105 counties with 628 cities. Its largest county by surface area is Butler County. The state is equidistant from both the Pacific and Atlantic oceans.
Kansas, situated on the American Great Plains, gained statehood as the 34th in the country on January 29, 1861. Its path to statehood was a long one filled with blood. The Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 opened both territories to settlement and allowed the new settlers to decide whether the states would be admitted into the union as “free” or “slave”. The north and south competed to send the most settlers into the region and this quickly resulted in violence. Hence the appellation “Bleeding Kansas”.
In 1954, Kansas became a battleground of the civil rights movement when the pivotal Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka case was decided in the Supreme Court. This resulted in the abolishment of the “separate but equal” doctrine in public schools. Kansas is also known for its contributions to jazz music and barbecue.
Kansas has some nicknames including Sunflower State, Wheat State, and Jayhawk State of the country. The state’s motto is “Ad Astra per Aspera” which means “to the stars through difficulties” which simulates its history of struggle.
Fort Riley, an army installation of the United States was established in 1853 near the Kansas River. Its purpose was to protect settlers and traders along the Oregon and Santa Fe Trails. In 1866, the 7th Cavalry was organized at the fort under General George Armstrong Custer. General Custer went on to lead the regiment in the infamous attack on Sioux and Cheyenne tribes at the Battle of Little Bighorn in June of 1876.
When French astronomer Pierre Janssen first discovered the helium element on the sun in 1868, people believed it to be one of the rarest elements. It was not until 1905 that faculty members at the University of Kansas in Lawrence identified helium as a common element on the earth. This occurred when the faculty members began experimenting with gas from a newly drilled well in Dexter.
Referred to as “The Wheat Capital of the World,” Kansas is the leading producer of wheat in the United States. In 2009, Sumner County produced 9 million bushels of wheat.
Meade’s Ranch in Osborne County, Kansas, is the Geodetic Center of North America. A geodetic center is the point of reference that surveys all property lines and boundaries. Also known as the North American Datum, this triangulation station for the United States, Canada, and Mexico was identified in 1901.
Although the origin remains unclear, the terms “Jayhawk” and “Jayhawker” were originally used to describe raiders and looters during the period of unrest. This followed the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 when the Kansa settlers decided on the issue of slavery. Free-state proponents later used the term solely as a label for free-state proponents, and it eventually became associated with all Kansans.
During the civil war, Kansas suffered the highest rate of fatal casualties of any Union state.
Car Shipping To Kansas
Factors Affecting the Cost of Shipping to Kansas
1. Size of Vehicle
The size and weight of the vehicle greatly impact the cost of shipping. Vehicles with greater weights and larger sizes typically cost higher than smaller-sized vehicles. Heavy-duty vehicles usually require special accommodations such as more head space. Hence, they cost more than regular cars. Transporting larger vehicles demands higher fuel consumption which in turn leads to higher costs of shipment.
2. Timing
The cost of shipping vehicles varies at different times of the year. Winter and summer are usually the most expensive periods for car shipping. Summer is the most conducive weather to ship and this results in higher demand for shipping companies. The increased demand consequently leads to increased costs of shipping.
Shipping during winter tends to be more difficult due to the often slippery state of roads in this weather. This results in the increased cost of shipping vehicles to Kansas.
3. Location
The distance covered while shipping a vehicle affects its shipping cost. The farther the vehicle’s location from Kansas, the higher the cost. Shipping vehicles from farther locations means a longer time is spent in transit and this in turn leads to higher fuel consumption and increased costs.
Additionally, the location it is being shipped from determines its cost. Popular and largely populated areas cost less than areas that are not frequently visited. Areas not frequently visited are oftentimes difficult to access.
4. Carrier Options
There are two ways your vehicle can be shipped:
Open Carrier
This method transports a higher number of vehicles at the same time. While this method is significantly cheaper, it leaves your vehicle exposed to harsh weather elements. It is also a faster method and is offered by most cat shipping companies in Kansas.
Enclosed Carrier
This method comes at a higher price but provides greater protection for your vehicle. The enclosed carrier option is recommended if you plan to ship a high-end vehicle such as an exotic or antique car to Kansas. It ensures that your vehicle is not exposed to rain, sun, or even dust.
Also, the delivery method plays a critical role in the cost of shipping. Terminal-to-terminal deliveries are usually cheaper than door-to-door deliveries.
Choosing the Ideal Car Shipping Company in Kansas
Finding the best car shipping company is very important as it determines if you get a positive car shipping experience. Factors to consider before choosing a car shipping company in Kansas include:
1. Insurance Coverage
Inquiries should be made to confirm that the intended company will provide insurance for your vehicle in the event of any damage in the car shipping process. Car shipping companies are legally obliged to have liability insurance.
The liability insurance covers damages done to your vehicle in the process of loading, unloading, and transportation. It however does not cover damages from the vehicle’s normal operation such as worn-out parts.
There are varying insurance options and the condition of your vehicle determines which option is most suitable.
2. Payment Options
Most companies require a small deposit at the time of dispatch and full payment on delivery of your vehicle with cash or a certified check at the point of pick-up or drop-off. At other times, discounts are offered when payment is made beforehand. Always be wary of companies who want a full payment prior to dispatch.
3. Cancellation Policy
In the event that you have to cancel your order, ensure that the cancellation policy of your shipping company is favourable to you. Some companies require a deposit to be paid in advance while some only ask for a nominal fee.
Also, some companies will hold on to a part of your deposit when cancellation is made after the shipment has been booked or if the carrier has already been dispatched.
Although cancellation fees are to be deducted, they should not be overcharged.
4. Ease of Communication
Before selecting a car shipping company, observe their ability to communicate. Ensure that their contact support staff are patient enough to explain all procedures to you. This eliminates every form of ambiguity and makes conflict resolution easier if the need arises.
Before you Ship Your Car
While the shipping company does the bulk of the work, there are a few things you ought to do before your car is put on the auto carrier.
They are:
Ensure the gas tank is only a quarter filled. This reduces the overall weight of your car which in turn reduces your shipping costs. A quarter-filled tank is sufficient to load and offload your car from pick-up to drop-off.
Inspect and ascertain there are no leaks in your car. If any is found, fix it before dropping it off. Dispatching a leaking car can damage other cars and some carrier companies will outrightly refuse to dispatch such cars.
Choose the most suitable shipping option for your car.

The state’s only major commercial (Class C) airport is Wichita Dwight D. Eisenhower National Airport. It is located along the US-54 on the western edge of the city. The Manhattan Regional Airport in Manhattan is another one of its airports. It provides daily flights to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport and Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport. This makes it the second-largest commercial airport in the state. Most air travelers in north-eastern Kansas fly out of Kansas City International Airport located in Platte County, Missouri. They also make use of the Topeka Regional Airport in the state’s capital.
In the state’s south-eastern region, people often use Tulsa International Airport in Tulsa, Oklahoma, or the Joplin Regional Airport in Joplin, Missouri. For those in the far western part of the state, Denver International Airport is a popular option. Connecting flights are also available from smaller Kansas airports in Dodge City, Garden City, Hays, Hutchinson, Liberal, or Salina.
Dotted across the state are smaller regional and municipal airports, including the Lawrence Municipal Airport. The Lawrence Municipal Airport houses many aircraft for the city of Lawrence, the University of Kansas, Miami County Airport, Wamego Airport, Osage City Municipal Airport, (which is the headquarters of Skydive Kansas), Garden City Regional Airport, Manhattan Regional Airport, and Dodge City Regional Airport.
The Southwest Chief Amtrak route runs through the state from Chicago to Los Angeles. Rail stops in Kansas are Lawrence, Topeka, Newton, Hutchinson, Dodge City, and Garden City. An Amtrak Thruway Motorcoach connects Newton and Wichita to the Heartland Flyer in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Amtrak is proposing to modify the Southwest Chief from its status as a direct passenger rail operation. Plans call for shortening the route from Los Angeles to Albuquerque. Thruway buses would replace the train on the route between Albuquerque and Dodge City, where train services east to Chicago would resume.
Apart from passenger carrying, Kansas also carries out its freight services through four Class I railroads; Amtrak, BNSF, Kansas City Southern, and Union Pacific, as well as many short-line railroads.
Two Interstate highways serve the Kansas state. The highways have one beltway, two spur routes, and three bypasses, with over 874 miles (1,407 km) in all. Interstate 70 (I-70) was the first section of the interstate to be opened in the nation. It was opened on the 14th of November 1956 and is located just west of Topeka.
I-70 is a major east-west route connecting Denver, Colorado, and Kansas City, Missouri. Cities along this route (from west to east) include Colby, Hays, Salina, Junction City, Topeka, Lawrence, Bonner Springs, and Kansas City.
I-35 is a major north-south route connecting Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and Des Moines, Iowa. Cities along this route (from south to north) include Wichita, El Dorado, Emporia, Ottawa, and Kansas City (and suburbs).
Spur routes serve as connections between the two major routes. I-135, a north-south route, connects I-35 at Wichita to I-70 at Salina. I-335, a southwest-northeast route, connects I-35 at Emporia to I-70 at Topeka. I-335 and portions of I-35 and I-70 make up the Kansas Turnpike.
Bypasses include I-470 around Topeka, I-235 around Wichita, and I-670 in downtown Kansas City. I-435 is a beltway around the Kansas City metropolitan area while I-635 bypasses Kansas City.
U.S. Route 69 (US-69) travels south to north, from Oklahoma to Missouri. The highway passes through the eastern section of Kansas, traveling through Baxter Springs, Pittsburgh, Frontenac, Fort Scott, Louisburg, and the Kansas City area.
Kansas also has the country’s third-largest state highway system after Texas and California. This is because of the high number of counties and county seats (105) and their intertwining.
By dialing short-code 511, callers will get access to information about road conditions, construction, closures, detours, and weather conditions for the state highway system. Weather and road condition information is updated every 15 minutes.
Kansas has access to 122 miles of the Missouri River along the northeast corner of the state. There are eight commercial terminals located near Atchison, Leavenworth, Lansing, White Cloud, and Kansas City. The Port of Kansas City, Woodswether Terminal, is located within a mile of downtown Kansas City and the interstate highway loop at river mile 367.1 on the south bank of the Missouri River.
Foodstuffs, fertilizer, scrap steel, cement, and other raw materials, as well as machinery, make up the bulk of shipments. The shipping season generally lasts between eight and nine months.
The Port of Catoosa, an inland seaport located near Tulsa, Oklahoma, is approximately 50 miles from the Kansas border. South Kansas, Oklahoma Railroad, and the BNSF Railway provide direct rail access to the Port. It is a year-round, economical alternative to other means of traveling. It is especially advantageous to businesses manufacturing large goods that need to be assembled before shipping.

I was transporting a car I bought from an elderly lady as a surprise for my husband. Steve H at Ship a car made this whole experience really simple and easy, no stress. He is a great communicator and friendly to deal with. The transport guy Bruno was of a similiar mindset and we had the car delivered in perfect condition. I didn't make the call until Thursday afternoon and received the car on Saturday morning. Fantastic service, I couldn't be happier!

Excellent company. I worked with Alberto and he was very good in explaining all the details.I would definitely recommend this company for shipping your car. I had an urgent requirement to ship my car from North Dakota to Washington state. My car was on the trailer exactly on the fourth day from which i first called. They were very transparent in pricing and charges were very reasonable. Delivered the car 1600 miles away in just 2 days. Drivers also were very professional giving me timely updates about my pickup and delivery.

My experience with DANA was amazing. She was very profesional from the first phone call. I will give her 10/10 in keeping up with communication when I was concerned with the Truck driver and his lack of communication. Car was picked up on time and delivery was on time. (PA to CA move was done in 4 days). I did have some issue with the truck driver regarding pickup and delivery timings but Dana kept good communication with me. I have a new 2019 model of luxury car and it was delivered in very good condition. Please ask for Dana when you call.

Fernanda was my representative, she was very professional, courteous and her communication was GREAT! She was very helpful with the whole process, she made it a great experience, NO STRESS. And very quick service. My transporter Radu was very courteous and professional, he was able to deliver my car a day early! He notified me a time he would be at my home and then notified me again that he would be 20 minutes later and he was sorry. Then when he arrived he apologized again that he was a little late--GREAT COMMUNICATION. Wonderful people.

Ship A Car has been great. We've used them multiple times. We've shipped my cars back east multiple times for various trade shows, and then we've had them returned. They've been able to meet and exceed every shipment that we've had. So, I'm very pleased with them. Their communication was very precise and reactive. So, they had a quick response time.

Ship a car did a wonderful job shipping my cousins car. Sam was so nice and helpful with dealing with my father. My father was trying to take care of this transaction and make all the arrangements. I was the middle person to just clarify some things. Sam took the time to explain to me of everything that was happening and told me what was required from me/my dad. It takes a lot of patience for someone to figure out the details of delivering a car. I will probably use this company if I ever need to ship a car. Thank you ship a car and also thank you Sam for the great service!!!!!

I recently purchased a Cutlass Supreme and initially used another carrier. I called my initial carrier to get a status and was told it would take 4 weeks to have my car picked up. I cancelled my order and I contacted Ship a Car. I spoke to Willie and made arrangements to have my car transported via an enclosed carrier. Within an hour, Willie called me back and my car was picked up that night and arrived in NY in 2 days. The car arrived with no issues. Willie was responsive and communicated all the steps the entire way. I would highly recommend them.

Pepper Long is a dedicated worker that stays on the phone until her customers needs are met. Not only is she courteous, professional, and a joy to deal with, but her time is used wisely and she arranged for my '47 Indian chief to be delivered ahead of schedule with a professional driver, keeping me in the loop as to where and when the arrival would happen. The Indian was secured greatly covered in blankets with not a scratch on it. Ask for Pepper and rest assured you'll be in good hands! Charlie H.

I was searching for an Auto Transport company to ship my son's car from Lake Forest, IL to San Diego, CA. He is a Marine and stationed there. From start to finish Ship A Car worked with me to quote a very competitive price. They were very patient as I changed the drop off date a few times because it is very difficult to predict my son's schedule. He was beginning his new MOS with the Marines and he had not received his orders for his shift. I changed the drop off again, from Thursday to Friday when he mentioned that Thursdays he had specific duties and would not be able to leave the base to get his car. It was complicated because for obvious reasons, the delivery truck can't simply drive onto the US Military base. So, my son asked if they could drop the car off at a nearby Target close to the base and provided the address and a date and time that he would be allowed to leave the base. Ship A Car worked with me through all of these logistics. They picked up the car when they agreed and dropped it off as agreed, in perfect condition. My Son, thought this was a better deal than buying a new car at this point. My understanding is that the Marines on the base need some form of transportation. And although my son needed a car, he didn't feel he needed to purchase a brand new car at this time. I can't say enough about the wonderful and patient customer service for Ship A Car. Sam Ladin, the main customer service agent with whom I spoke most frequently, was so awesome! He even called me one evening - after I sent an email changing the drop off logistics - yet again - from his cell phone. He was home having dinner and stopped to deal with my issues! The drivers, Jesus and Saul were extremely professional and courteous as well! I give this company an A+!!!! My son called me and asked me for the contact details of Ship A Car because one of his Marine mates said he would like to do the same thing--ship his car from his home base; also in IL -- to California. Thank you again Sam and Ship A Car for all you did for my son, my marine, and our military men and women!

We used Ship A Car Inc. to transport a customer vehicle from Kansas to our shop in Denver, and back to Kansas. We couldn't be happier with the service the company, and specifically transport coordinator Gary Wiatric, provided. Price was very competitive, transports were arranged and completed within a handful of days both times, and the vehicle did not experience any damage or other issues on either leg of the journey. Highly recommended, we will be using only this company for future vehicle transports.

Riding my motorcycle cross-country from Florida, up to Jasper Canada, and down to California put a hurting on my hands. I was looking to cut out the San Francisco section of our trip and have the bike shipped to Carson City NV. I needed the bike there in two weeks; by the end of September. Two major shippers said they could not get the bike there until October. Then I had the good fortune of connecting with Ship a Car Inc. Steve Goodman handled my request and said they could do it.
I was a bit nervous as Steve took a couple of days to arrange transport and call me. But he came through and got the bike transported quicker than I would have expected. Since we were already in San Francisco, I called the shop in Eureka CA where I had left the bike for pick-up. As Steve had said, the bike was transported in an enclosed truck. The shop told me the driver was very professional and took a long time to make sure my bike was loaded and secured properly. I then called the shop in Carson City where the bike was to be delivered. They told me the bike was already there, that the driver had taken great care of my bike, and that he seemed very professional.
This was a very difficult time-frame to deal with. This was not a pre-scheduled transportation issue. It was a last-minute decision on my part. The location of the pick-up shop in Eureka CA was only an every two-week area for the two other shippers I had tried. Steve Goodman and Ship a Car Inc came through. They saved our vacation and I am grateful, extremely grateful for the professionalism displayed. I would use their service again. in a heartbeat.

I very early write reviews but this company deserving of my time to sit down and write one. I contacted Bob Moran after being left high and dry by another company. We were leaving in 3 days to relocate my son. He was going to be heading to New York shortly after relocating him so we were in a time crunch to have the car arrive before he was to leave. Bob worked tirelessly to find us a driver. It came down to an hour before my husband was going to make the 16 hour drive while we left for the airport and we received a call. IT WAS BOB and he had a driver. I have never had someone work so hard to make it work. He owed us nothing as I came to him late in the game but he didn't let me down. I feel like company works differently then most out there. This is a hard industry to trust. I give them 5 STARS!

When you called he answered his phone, he kept me informed every step of the way, and everything happened exactly as he said it would. He stayed in touch throughout the pickup and delivery to make sure there were no problems or issues. I would definitely use Bob again. He exceeded my expectations and that type of service is difficult to find today.

I had been looking for someone to ship my car for three weeks. I needed my car shipped from Alabama to Texas. The pickup location was kind of out of the way so I feel like that is why it was a longer process! However ship a car inc was the third company I found and had someone to pick my car up within a week! The price was a little higher but I felt that was due to the pickup location of my car. It was picked up on Thursday and delivered the next day! The only issue I ran into was a language barrier with the driver. However, he was very nice and understanding! I will book with this company again.

What an amazing experience we had with this company and especially with Willie D. who made all the arrangements for us. I was very concerned about sending the car this way and he was so kind and patient with me taking the time to reassure me and ease my fears and apprehension. If he had not done that I honestly think I would have not sent the car this way or I might have looked to other transport companies because of the anxiety I had. He truly was a blessing. Thank you Willie for your kindness and for enduring all my calls. You should give lessons on great customer service because you were the best!

The rep was very helpful. Pickup was Clarkston, Michigan on a Wednesday and the car wasn’t delivered until the following Saturday. It was in the email, very clear, that it would probably be delivered on that Friday, 10 days later. I thought it would come on a Monday or Tuesday. But when I looked at the email, it clearly said Friday. It ended up showing up on Saturday, which was fine. I was out of state, traveling for work. So, I didn’t need the vehicle, but I just had to schedule my friend to be there. Thankfully, she’s a very good friend. I saw the car on Monday. It was very dirty but that’s expected. It was dirty when it left, but it was way dirty. But it was in the same shape as it was when I left it with my sister for it to be picked up. I already recommended Ship A Car, Inc. to a coworker.

Ship A Car INC transferred a car for me from Texas to Michigan. I am in the repo business and they really hooked me up with this shipment. Quick delivery, friendly service and I didn't have to deal with a lot of checking and re-checking. The driver delivered as they said they would.

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.

Service was great! Great communications between me, the customer, and both Ship a Car and Mikelson and Sons the actual shipper. First time I've shipped and it was easy. Mikelson and Sons coordinated with me for a pick up from a difficult rural location and actually delivered ahead of time. Thanks to Steve Hungness and driver Mike.

I was a little hesitant my first time shipping a car, but after using them I was totally pleased. They kept us informed and had a very professional driver take our car and ship very nicely. Happy with the service.
