GROUND/AIR SHIPPING
Each participant is responsible for the logistics and costs of shipping their own car(s) to and from the event. Let us know if we can be of assistance in connecting you to others from your area.
CAR STORAGE
We have contracted with a security company to provide security at night in all overnight locations. However, we do need to know in advance of any special requirements regarding your vehicle.
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:
Grouse Mountain Lodge
2 Fairway Dr
Whitefish, MT 59937
(406) 862-3000
SUGGESTED AUTOMOBILE SPARES
Having a few simple spares can mean the difference between a minor setback and the end of the rally. Our mechanics recommend you keep these parts in your car.
If you bring bulkier spares such as an alternator (or generator) or a starter, our mechanics will be happy to carry those for you.

We recommend that you verify that your car will be covered for a more than 1,000 mile organized multi-day rally event that involves hotel parking lots and commercial shipping.
