Shipping a car in Rathdrum

Rathdrum is a smaller Kootenai County, Idaho community of roughly 12,626 residents. It is within a short drive of Hayden (5 mi) and Post Falls (5 mi), which a carrier can reasonably cover in one pass. Cost here follows the corridor a vehicle ultimately joins rather than the size of the town, so quotes are often closer to a metro rate than people expect.

Rathdrum works as a standalone pickup within reach of Hayden (5 mi), Post Falls (5 mi) and Coeur d’Alene (8 mi). A Idaho run through this area may take in Hayden on the same trip before heading out on I-84, I-15, and US-95. That is why pickup is quoted as a window of days rather than a set hour: the arrival time depends on the stops booked around yours.

Distances from Rathdrum to the larger markets around it: Seattle, WA at about 305 road miles, Boise, ID at about 345 road miles and Portland, OR at about 375 road miles. Distance decides more of a long-distance rate than anything else, so those numbers are where a quote starts. Our published corridors of comparable length, 155 to 445 miles, quote $400 to $750 for a sedan on an open trailer, which is the frame for a quote from here rather than a price for it.

Elsewhere in Kootenai County we also collect in Coeur d’Alene, Hayden and Post Falls. A booking that shares a truck with a neighbouring pickup is usually the cheaper option, so it is worth mentioning if you are moving more than one vehicle.

Before you book

Carrier checks and vehicle preparation are the same for a Rathdrum pickup as for any other, so they are covered once rather than on every city page. Before pickup, ask for the carrier's MC or USDOT number to look up on FMCSA SAFER and for its cargo insurance certificate. How to prepare your car for shipping covers the wash, fuel level and personal items, and the Bill of Lading guide explains the condition report you sign at both ends.
