Shipping a car in Sparks

Sparks sits in Washoe County, Nevada and has about 111,520 residents, the 5th largest of the Nevada 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.

Sparks works as a standalone pickup within reach of Truckee Meadows (area) (6 mi), Reno (7 mi) and Virginia City (20 mi). A Nevada run through this area may take in Truckee Meadows (area) on the same trip before heading out on I-15, I-80, 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 Sparks to the larger markets around it: Sacramento, CA at about 140 road miles, Oakland, CA at about 220 road miles and Fresno, CA at about 230 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 290 miles, quote $400 to $650 for a sedan on an open trailer, which is the frame for a quote from here rather than a price for it.

Elsewhere in Washoe County we also collect in Incline Village, Reno and Truckee Meadows (area). 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 Sparks 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.
