Why You Should Get Street Legal Now—Before the Holiday Rush Begins

It’s hard to believe, but it’s that time of year again. Yes, it might not feel like it here in South Florida, most of the nation is starting to feel a little more like fall and a little less like summer. Even Texas has lost the edge off its typical oppressive heat that is such a standard hallmark of the Lonestar State. 

This, of course, means that the Holidays are right around the corner. It’s the middle of October now, and you might think that you’re safe to get errands like car registration done before the Holiday schedule drops. But Thanksgiving is only 43 days away. And after Thanksgiving, the odds of getting anything done with a government agency go way downhill. 

After the thousands of people we’ve helped over the years, here are our six key takeaways on why you need to get your ride street legal now or you might just be waiting until 2025. 

1. The Holiday Season Brings Delays – Don’t Get Stuck Waiting

The end-of-year rush at DMVs means slower processing times for titles and registrations.

Reason #1 is pretty obvious. The closer you get to the holidays, the worse your odds are of getting anything done before the New Year. Annual vacations usually start getting scheduled well in advance, so we know you can expect to have a hard time getting in the queue to get your title work or registration taken care of. 

This might be especially true for difficult or technical title work to be handled, since most of the focus with reduced staff and limited office hours will be on just getting annual registrations and new title work done. Our friends in congested cities and states (LA, San Diego, San Francisco/Oakland, and New York City especially) could really struggle to get paperwork taken care of due to the sheer amount of people trying to get paperwork done. 

Since so many offices close, why not run an end-around and register your car or truck (or just about anything) through Dirt Legal’s Montana registration process. It is completely, 100% online. No lines, no waiting, just click the buy button and get started. But, it does still go through a DMV so this process will slow down around the holidays too, so your best bet is to start right now. 

2. Registering through a Montana LLC Saves You Time and Money

A Montana LLC offers financial advantages that make it easier to get your vehicle street legal.

Time is money, as the old saying goes. And we know you know it. How much time do you waste sitting in line at the DMV, only to get turned away because the ‘I’ wasn’t dotted and the ‘T’ wasn’t crossed. We get it. Shoot, one time I got turned away because the Kansas DMV got flagged as a fraudulent charge by my bank. No, I am not kidding. 

Our method is proven with thousands of successful registrations through Montana over the years. But it isn’t just time that you will save. Did you know that the average sales tax rate across the Fruited Plains is seven percent? It sure is. So, on average, you will fork over seven percent of the purchase price for the privilege of driving on roads. We think this is just a little ridiculous. Why not register your car or truck where you pay zero dollars in sales tax? That would be Montana. 

3. Beat the Clock: Why You Should Act Now

Get ahead of the rush by registering before the holidays hit full swing.

Look, there’s no other way to put this: the clock is ticking. And if you are sitting around waiting for this to come together on its own…well, it won’t. You have just a few weeks before we are in full-fledged holiday chaos mode. If you want to get it done, you need to get going now. 

Again, the best part is that you don’t really have a whole lot to do. Once you put it in the cart and start the process, we handle it all for you. I know it sounds too good to be true, but it is true. We do all the legwork so you can go back to watching Yellowstone. 

• Avoiding the Thanksgiving and Christmas Rush: The earlier you start, the less you’ll get flattened by the holiday delays.

• Beat the New Year’s Paperwork Backlog: Waiting until after the holidays means dealing with a flooded system in January.

4. Dirt Legal Makes the Process Easy and Stress-Free

When we started doing what we do back almost a decade ago, it was because getting a replacement title was so difficult. Some states were helpful while others just weren’t. Some states were totally cool with issuing a title, transferable registration, or standard registration to anyone from any state (you used to be so cool Vermont). But figuring out the processes from state to state and what states would do to help get vehicles registered is a lot of work, which is why we formed: to do it for you. 

And that is what we do today: we have crafted the very best processes in the business to make the process as easy and painless as possible for you. You don’t have to do a whole lot, or learn all the processes. Because why should you? This is a whole lot of knowledge that really doesn’t help you much for the rest of your life, and also, if you don’t understand exactly how the process works, it will be extremely taxing trying to learn on your own. Instead, just buy the service you want, fill out the paperwork we send you, send it back, and we do it all. You can just focus on saving that money. 

• How Dirt Legal Makes the Process Easy: We handle everything from the LLC setup to your registration. We do the entire process from cradle to grave. 

• What to Expect from Montana LLC Vehicle Registration: It’s all done online—no need to visit the DMV.

5. Enjoy Holiday Travels with Peace of Mind

Make sure your vehicle is ready for holiday road trips by getting everything legal ahead of time.

There is always something exciting about getting a new car or truck. The new car smell. The leather seats. The heated steering wheel (not my jam, but I might change my tune in Minnesota). But what is not exciting at all is paying the sales tax bill. Or getting in line and hoping you got all your paperwork squared away. 

Well, thankfully we can get you all squared away with a fresh Montana registration. 

• Enjoy the Holidays with Peace of Mind: No worrying about paperwork during your time off.

• No DMV Visits – Complete the Process Online: Get street legal from the comfort of your home.
