Drive the PanAm
On your terms
Explore the Americas with ease by owning a US-titled vehicle, registered in Montana. Simple registration that gets you on the road fast.
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:
visitor.us forms a Montana company, owned 100% by you, giving you a presence in the best US state to own a vehicle
You buy a vehicle - any vehicle with US ownership documents, anywhere you want - in the name of your Montana company
visitor.us registers your vehicle to your company, and sends your registration, license plates, and title to a location that’s convenient to you
Freedom and flexibility for PanAmerican Highway explorers
Most countries in the Americas require you to be a national or resident to register a vehicle—making it challenging for travelers to own a car. The United States is a notable exception. The US state of Montana doesn't have any residency or inspection requirements, making it ideal for registering a vehicle - and renewing its registration - remotely. Enjoy the open road from Alaska to Argentina with a vehicle registered in Montana by visitor.us.
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
Own and register a vehicle in Montana without having a US driver's license or being a US resident. Perfect for international travelers journeying through the Americas.
No inspection requirements
Montana doesn’t require vehicle inspections, meaning your vehicle can be registered in Montana without ever coming to Montana (or the US!).
Flexible exit options
When your travels wrap up, easily sell your vehicle to another traveler, keep it for a future visit, or bring it back to your home country.
