About this route
Why so many cars go from New York to Missouri
About 4,254 people moved from New York to Missouri in each of the last two years, according to the Census Bureau's American Community Survey (3,534 in 2023, 4,973 in 2024). That is 0.9% of everyone who left New York for another state.
Traffic is lopsided: only about 1,802 people a year go the other way, Missouri to New York. Trucks heading into Missouri fill up quickly, so pickups are usually fast — but carriers have less reason to discount in peak months.
How the price compares
At a typical $1,175, shipping from New York to Missouri costs more than sending a car to Georgia ($1,000) and Tennessee ($1,000) but less than to Texas ($1,275) and Colorado ($1,375). That works out to about 91¢ a mile.
Distance and transit time
Expect about 1,290 road miles from New York to Kansas City — 3–5 days on the truck after pickup. Carriers usually load several cars before heading out, so the pickup window matters as much as transit time. The car heads west and crosses one time zone — from Eastern to Central time — so confirm whether the delivery window you are given is in local time.
