Kansas City sits on our busiest Midwest corridor. We pick up in Overland Park, Lee's Summit, Independence and Leavenworth, and run east to St. Louis or west to Denver on a dedicated, pet-only vehicle.
Private ground transport starts at $450 for short local runs (a $150 dispatch fee plus a $300 flat rate inside 100 miles). Longer trips are priced per mile — $1.50 a mile from 101–300 miles, $1.30 from 301–700, and $1.10 beyond 700 — plus a crate handling charge based on your pet's size, an overnight allowance on multi-day routes, and a per-pet charge after the first pet. The ranges below come from the same calculator used on our quote page.
| Route | Distance | Typical price, one pet |
|---|---|---|
| Kansas City → St. Louis, MO | 250 mi | $525 – $825 |
| Kansas City → Wichita, KS | 200 mi | $450 – $725 |
| Kansas City → Chicago, IL | 510 mi | $825 – $1,125 |
| Kansas City → Fort Cavazos, TX | 700 mi | $1,050 – $1,400 |
Ranges are planning estimates for one healthy pet with a standard crate. Additional pets, overnight routes, rush dates and hard-to-reach addresses change the figure. Military families receive a $300 PCS discount. Your exact price comes back after we review the route and pet details.
Fort Leavenworth CGSC families move on a tight calendar — we time pickup around your household goods date.
