This Is How Easy US Vehicle Ownership Can Be
In the USA, vehicle ownership is governed by states, and Montana has the best combination of laws. Low registration fees. 0% sales tax (in most situations). No US driver’s license requirement. No emissions tests. And the car doesn’t have to be in Montana–or ever go there. It just takes 3 simple steps:
Create your Montana presence by signing a simple no-cost lease at visitor.us' office in Montana. (Learn more here)
You buy a vehicle - any vehicle with US ownership documents, anywhere you want - in your name, at our Montana address.
visitor.us registers your vehicle in your name, and sends your registration, license plates, and title to a location that’s convenient to you.

Flexibility and savings with a Montana vehicle registration
Non-US residents aren't required to register vehicles in any specific US state - so why bother with local sales taxes, drivers license, residency, and inspection requirements, and complicated paperwork?
Let visitor.us register your vehicle in Montana, the best US state to own a vehicle.
0% sales tax
Sales tax is due where you register a vehicle, not where you buy it. Montana's 0% sales tax can save you hundreds or thousands of dollars.
(CA, WA, and AZ dealer sales are different. Read more here.)
