Minot is one of the most isolated bases in the Air Force, and flying a pet out of here is expensive and slow. We drive them instead, door to door, in heated vehicles.
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Minot → Fargo, ND | 265 mi | $550 – $850 |
| Minot → Minneapolis, MN | 480 mi | $775 – $1,100 |
| Minot → Denver, CO | 880 mi | $1,125 – $1,475 |
| Minot → Offutt AFB, NE | 740 mi | $975 – $1,300 |
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.
Winter departures are staged around storm windows — a pet never rides an unsafe northern road.
