How much does it cost to ship a car from Houston?

Houston auto transport rates depend on distance, vehicle size, and time of year. Open transport from Houston typically runs $0.55–$0.95 per mile on long hauls and $1.20–$1.85 per mile on short hauls under 500 miles. Real-world examples: Houston to Dallas runs $375–$525, Houston to Atlanta $725–$925, and Houston to Miami $1,050–$1,350. Enclosed transport adds 35–60% on top of open rates.

How long does Houston auto shipping take?

Pickup typically happens within 1–5 days of booking, and transit time runs about 1 day per 400–500 miles on the road. Houston to Dallas is usually 1–2 days, Houston to Atlanta 2–4 days, Houston to Miami 3–5 days, and Houston to Los Angeles 4–6 days.

Do I have to pay anything upfront?

No. We never charge a deposit before a carrier is actually assigned and locked in for your pickup window. You only pay once a real driver, real truck, and real dates are confirmed.

Is my car insured during transport?

Yes. Every carrier we dispatch is licensed & insured and required to carry active cargo insurance — typically $100,000–$250,000 per vehicle on open carriers and $500,000–$1,000,000 on enclosed haulers.

Can I ship a car to Houston from anywhere in the US?

Yes. We dispatch carriers on every major lane in and out of Houston — to/from California, the Northeast, the Midwest, the Southeast, and across Texas.

Where in Houston can carriers pick up my vehicle?

Anywhere in Greater Houston — The Heights, Montrose, Memorial, Energy Corridor, Galleria, Sugar Land, Katy, Pearland, The Woodlands, Spring, Cypress, Clear Lake, and surrounding suburbs.

Does hurricane season affect my shipment?

Occasionally. Atlantic hurricane season runs June 1 to November 30. Active storms in the Gulf can delay pickups or close I-10/I-45 corridors temporarily, but carriers typically reroute through Dallas or San Antonio.

How should I prepare my vehicle for pickup?

Wash the exterior, leave the gas tank around 1/4 full, remove all personal belongings, disable aftermarket alarms, fold in the side mirrors, retract the antenna, and leave a spare key with the driver.

Open vs. enclosed transport — which should I pick?

Open transport is what 95% of customers use — affordable, widely available, and safe. Enclosed transport is recommended for exotics, classics, and high-value vehicles. Enclosed costs 35–60% more than open.

How far in advance should I book?

Two to three weeks is ideal. Snowbird season gets booked up faster, so 3–4 weeks is smart for Florida-bound shipments.

I'm a snowbird heading to Florida — what's the deal?

Snowbird routes are our specialty. Houston to Florida runs are extremely active October through April. We deliver door-to-door to Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, Naples, Sarasota, The Villages, and the Florida Keys.

I'm active military — do you offer PCS shipping?

Yes. Active military gets a 5% discount, priority dispatching, and flexibility on pickup windows since orders sometimes shift.
