Shipping a car in Manhattan

Manhattan sits in Riley County, Kansas and has about 54,700 residents, the 9th largest of the Kansas cities we cover. Places this size are typically served as part of a wider regional run rather than as a dedicated trip, so the pickup date generally has more give in it than the delivery window does. Booking a few days early is what buys you a choice of dates.

Manhattan works as a standalone pickup within reach of Junction City (15 mi), Abilene (40 mi) and Topeka (50 mi). A Kansas run through this area may take in Junction City on the same trip before heading out on I-35, I-70, and I-135. 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 Manhattan to the larger markets around it: Kansas City, KS at about 120 road miles, Wichita, KS at about 135 road miles and Omaha, NE at about 175 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, 105 to 260 miles, quote $400 to $600 for a sedan on an open trailer, which is the frame for a quote from here rather than a price for it.

Before you book

Carrier checks and vehicle preparation are the same for a Manhattan 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.
