Door-to-door Lawrence car shipping on the KU calendar, with Iowa Street hand-offs for campus and Mass Street, and basketball nights kept off the schedule.
Ship A Car, Inc. arranges door-to-door vehicle transport for Lawrence, the Douglas County city between Kansas City and Topeka where the Turnpike runs the north side, K-10 carries the commute east, the University of Kansas climbs Mount Oread above a downtown that runs the length of Massachusetts Street, Haskell sits on the south side, and the Kaw bends past the old brewery blocks. The carrier your Douglas County order goes to is licensed, insured and vetted by us before the assignment.
The KU calendar sets the rhythm of car shipping in Lawrence: students arrive in late August and leave in mid-May, faculty move on summer contracts, and those weeks call for about three weeks of notice. The Turnpike exits and K-10 bring a carrier to the Iowa Street and 23rd Street lots quickly, and both have room for a 75-foot rig. Campus roads and the student blocks on the hill are off limits to a hauler, and Massachusetts Street has cars at nearly every curb, so those addresses meet the truck at an Iowa Street lot agreed at booking. Driveways in the west-side subdivisions take the truck at the door, and we keep campus-side hand-offs off the schedule on basketball nights.
Speak with a coordinator now at (866) 821-4555 for pickup at any address in Lawrence, Eudora, Baldwin City, or Douglas County, or request an estimate by email through the quote calculator.
Manhattan, Wichita and the rest of the state each get seasonal notes and prices in the Kansas state guide.
Book August and May pickups three weeks out to get the move-in or move-out date you want, with the hand-off at an Iowa Street lot minutes from campus.
With Kansas City about forty minutes east on the Turnpike, carriers working the metro’s routes are close at hand for a pickup here.
Whether a student or a parent places the order, the quote calculator emails an estimate for the route, the car and the first day it can go, and a specialist calls to confirm the price. After that, one coordinator handles the order for parent and student alike, through the inspection at delivery.
Between Topeka and Kansas City on the Kaw, Lawrence has the university on Mount Oread, Massachusetts Street below it, and the Turnpike along the north edge of town. Five things set the cost of a move here:
Near campus a Lawrence car meets the truck at an Iowa Street or 23rd Street lot, while the west-side subdivisions load in the driveway. Orlando is our own lane, the middle half of our Kansas to Florida open-carrier orders since 2023, priced for a car heading south from Kansas. St. Louis, Atlanta, Colorado Springs and Los Angeles are distance bands, showing the middle half of what customers paid for moves of similar length in our bookings between September 2025 and August 2026.
These Douglas County ranges are for a running sedan on an open trailer. A bigger vehicle or one that will not start costs more to ship, and enclosed transport adds about a third. For your own Lawrence figure, open the quote calculator or call (866) 821-4555. No deposit is taken until a carrier is assigned to your move.
The campus climbs the hill above downtown.
Massachusetts Street runs the length of downtown, lined with shops, restaurants and music halls.
The tribal university has anchored the south side since 1884.
Topeka is half an hour west, Kansas City forty minutes east.
Please note: Orlando is a one-way figure on this Lawrence page, taken from our own Kansas to Florida open-carrier orders since 2023. The Colorado Springs, Atlanta, Los Angeles and St. Louis figures are distance tiers, from what customers paid for moves of similar length from September 2025 to August 2026, and dispatch books the price a specialist confirms after the calculator’s emailed estimate.
