Without the hassle
visitor.us gets international students on the road quickly without needing a US driver’s license, social security number, or proof of residency.
The best car ownership solution for international students in the US
International university and grad school students often face hurdles when it comes to vehicle ownership in the US—complicated paperwork, high sales tax, and time-consuming DMV visits.
visitor.us helps you navigate these obstacles with ease by providing vehicle registration services specifically designed for international students.
From handling local registration requirements to delivering your plates and documents, we make vehicle ownership in the US straightforward and stress-free.
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
Full-time students aren't required to register vehicles in the state where they're studying - so why bother with local driver's license requirements, sales taxes, and complicated paperwork? Let visitor.us register your vehicle in Montana, and get back to your studies!
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.)
No US driver’s license or residency required
Start driving your vehicle without the need for a US driver’s license or state residency. We handle your registration using your existing documents, making it simple and stress-free.
No vehicle inspections required
Montana has no vehicle inspection requirements, so you never need to bring your vehicle to the state. Buy anywhere, register with visitor.us, and you're good to go.
Flexible exit options
When your studies end, easily sell your vehicle, export it back to your home country, or transfer the registration to another state.
