How Much Does it Cost to Transport a Car to and from Texas?
The cost of transporting a car to and from Texas depends on several factors, including:
Distance traveled. Longer distances from and to Texas will generally result in higher shipping costs and longer transit times. The farther your vehicle needs to travel, the more it will typically cost.
Vehicle size and type. Larger, heavier vehicles (such as trucks or SUVs) tend to cost more to ship due to the additional space they occupy and the extra handling required on the carrier. On the other hand, smaller cars are usually less expensive to ship.
Seasonal demand. Prices can fluctuate depending on the time of year. During peak shipping seasons, such as the summer or around holidays, demand for transport services increases, which may lead to higher costs.
Fuel prices. When fuel prices rise, shipping fees can also increase, especially for long-distance or interstate shipments, as fuel is a major operational cost for carriers.
Below is a list of top destinations to and from Texas with estimated distances, transit times, and price ranges for both open and enclosed transport. For a personalized and accurate quote, please contact BAH Logistics directly.

Tips on Texas Car Shipping
Here are some valuable tips we advise you to help you save money and enjoy a smooth car transport experience in Texas.
- Don’t wait until the last minute. Shipping prices tend to rise as your desired pickup date approaches, especially during peak seasons in Texas. Booking early helps you secure better rates and ensures more options for carrier availability.
- Be flexible with dates. Having flexibility with your pickup or delivery dates can lead to noticeable savings. Many of our carriers offer lower rates when you allow a 3 to 5-day pickup window instead of needing a specific date.
- Avoid peak seasons. Texas experiences high shipping volume during the spring and summer months, especially from March through August. Major cities like Dallas, Houston, Austin, and San Antonio see increased demand due to relocations, student moves, and snowbirds heading north or south, depending on the season.
- Choose the right shipping method. For most standard vehicles, open transport is the most affordable and reliable option. It’s widely used for everyday car shipments across Texas. However, if you're shipping a luxury, exotic, or classic vehicle, especially during storm season or extreme summer heat, enclosed transport offers enhanced protection from weather and road debris.
- Consider the weather: Hurricane season (June-November) can affect Gulf Coast shipments, particularly Houston and Galveston areas
- Prepare documentation: Set of keys, proof of ownership/registration, photo ID, payment method.
Rules and Regulations For Texas Car Transport
There are several local regulations and unique requirements in Texas to keep in mind before shipping your car.
- New Texas residents have 30 days to register their vehicles after establishing residency. For official details and updates, you can visit the Travis County Tax Office website.
- Starting January 1, 2025, most Texas drivers will no longer need an annual safety inspection. However, vehicles registered in certain urban counties will still require an emissions test.
- In Texas, all drivers must carry a minimum liability insurance policy to cover damages or injuries they may cause in an accident. This requirement also applies to vehicles being registered in the state, even if they are being transported.
- Texas residents must pay a 6.25% sales tax to the state when purchasing a vehicle.
- Texas has an extensive toll road network. Be sure to remove any toll tags or passes from your vehicle before shipment to avoid unnecessary charges during transport.
