    TRANSPORT LOGISTICS
    Shipping SINGLE cars to and from Montana can be a logistical challenge. Because of this, each year we receive requests to know who is in your part of the country so you can buddy up on shipping. We will not share names, emails, or phone numbers without your permission out of respect for your privacy. So, if you would like to work with your fellow ralliers to coordinate transport, please tell us. Once we receive your permission, we'll send an email to like-minded rally members. Also, tell us where your car is located if it isn't being shipped from the address you have given us.

    Please arrange for shipment of your vehicles to/from:
    SpringHill Suites by Marriott Bozeman
    1601 Baxter Ln
