Louisville KY Car Shipping
Louisville is the undisputed hub of Kentucky car shipping. Sitting directly on I-65 -- one of the top 10 busiest freight corridors in America -- Louisville gives you access to more carriers, faster pickups, and better pricing than almost any city in the region. The UPS Worldport at Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport makes this city one of the largest logistics centers on Earth, and that infrastructure extends to auto transport.
Whether you're relocating for work at Humana, GE Appliances, or Yum! Brands, shipping a vehicle purchased at a Louisville dealership, or moving a fleet across the country, Louisville's position at the intersection of I-65, I-64, and I-71 means carriers pass through daily heading in every direction.

Before you ship
5 Things to Know When Shipping a Car to or from Louisville
Shipping to Louisville's urban neighborhoods, dealing with Derby demand, or navigating the Ohio River bridges -- here are the local details that matter.
01
Jefferson County requires a sheriff's inspection for out-of-state vehicles
If you're shipping a vehicle into Louisville from another state, you'll need a Jefferson County Sheriff's Office vehicle inspection before you can register it. This VIN verification confirms vehicle identity and checks for theft records. Schedule your inspection before your car arrives to avoid delays -- the Jefferson County Sheriff operates walk-in inspection stations across Louisville.
02
Louisville has specific street parking and towing rules for delivery
When scheduling delivery in Louisville, be aware of downtown parking restrictions, especially in NuLu, Bardstown Rd, and the Highlands where street parking is limited. Car carriers need 70-100 feet of clearance. If your street is narrow or restricted, your driver may need to meet at a nearby parking lot. PARC (Parking Authority of River City) enforces all Louisville Metro parking regulations.
03
Kentucky Derby week (May) causes major demand spikes in Louisville
The Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs is the single biggest event in Louisville each year, drawing 150,000+ visitors. Auto transport demand spikes 2-3 weeks before Derby weekend as people ship vehicles in for the event and local relocations surge. If you need to ship during late April or early May, book at least 3-4 weeks early. Expect rates to be 10-20% higher during this window.
04
Louisville's 25/50/25 insurance minimums must be active before delivery
Kentucky is a choice no-fault state with minimum liability of $25,000/$50,000/$25,000. Your insurance must be active and in your name before the carrier delivers your vehicle. If you're moving to Louisville, get your KY-compliant policy set up before your car arrives. The Kentucky Department of Insurance can help you find licensed providers if you need a new policy.
05
I-65 bridge construction can affect Louisville pickup and delivery windows
Louisville sits on both sides of the Ohio River, and the I-65 Kennedy and Lincoln bridges connecting Louisville to Southern Indiana are among the busiest crossings in the region. Major construction projects and peak-hour congestion on the bridges can affect carrier schedules by 1-2 hours. If your pickup or delivery is in Jeffersonville, Clarksville, or New Albany (IN side), let your coordinator know so they can plan around bridge traffic.
