In-State Transport
Shipping a Car Within Louisiana
I-10 is Louisiana's main corridor, running from Lake Charles through Lafayette, across the 18-mile Atchafalaya Basin Bridge, and on to Baton Rouge and New Orleans. I-12 bypasses New Orleans along the Northshore, I-49 connects Lafayette with Shreveport, and I-20 crosses North Louisiana.
Most in-state moves take about 1 to 2 days after pickup. Some New Orleans neighborhoods — like the French Quarter and Garden District — have tight streets and truck restrictions, so your driver may arrange a nearby meeting spot.

Louisiana Car Shipping Tips
A few Louisiana-specific things that can affect your shipment.
Moving to Louisiana?
New residents generally have 30 days to register their vehicle with the Louisiana OMV. Louisiana also requires an annual vehicle inspection sticker, often called a brake tag, and vehicles in the Baton Rouge area need an emissions check as part of it. Check the OMV for current requirements.
Hurricane Season
Atlantic hurricane season runs June 1 through November 30. When a storm threatens the Gulf Coast, carriers may pause pickups and deliveries for safety, so build in some flexibility.
New Orleans Streets
Narrow streets, low-hanging oaks, and truck restrictions in older neighborhoods can keep full-size carriers out. Your driver will call ahead and arrange the best nearby meeting spot.
Military Moves
We ship vehicles for service members at Barksdale Air Force Base, NAS JRB New Orleans, and other Louisiana installations.
Pricing
How Much Does Louisiana Car Shipping Cost?
Here's what determines the price of shipping a car to, from, or within Louisiana.
Distance & Route
Routes along I-10 and I-20 are busy and efficient — especially Louisiana to Texas.
Location & Access
Addresses near the interstates are easiest to reach. Older New Orleans neighborhoods and bayou communities may need a nearby meeting spot.
Season & Weather
Hurricane season and summer moving season can both affect availability and price.
Open or Enclosed
Open transport is the most affordable. Enclosed costs more but shields your vehicle from weather and debris.
Vehicle Size
Full-size trucks and SUVs take more trailer space and weight capacity than sedans.
Pickup Flexibility
A flexible pickup window gives us more carriers to choose from — which usually means a better price.
Your Quote Is Your Final Price
Some companies advertise a low number to win your booking, then raise it once your car is waiting on a truck. We don't. The price we quote is the price you pay — with $0 due when you book.

FAQ
Louisiana Car Shipping FAQs
How much does it cost to ship a car to or from Louisiana?
The price depends on distance, route, vehicle size, open or enclosed transport, season, and how flexible your dates are. Routes along I-10 — like New Orleans to Houston — are usually the most cost-effective. Request a free quote and we'll give you a final price — not an estimate that changes later.
How long does car shipping to or from Louisiana take?
It depends mostly on distance. Trips to Texas or neighboring states often take 1 to 3 days after pickup, while cross-country routes like Baton Rouge to Los Angeles commonly take about 4 to 7 days.
Do you ship cars within Louisiana?
Yes. We handle in-state moves like New Orleans to Shreveport or Lake Charles to Baton Rouge. Every shipment is door-to-door.
How long do I have to register my car after moving to Louisiana?
New residents generally have 30 days to register with the Louisiana OMV. You'll also need an annual inspection sticker, and vehicles in the Baton Rouge area need an emissions check. Check the OMV for the latest requirements.
Does hurricane season affect car shipping in Louisiana?
It can. When a storm threatens, carriers may delay pickups or deliveries for safety. Keeping your dates flexible between June and November helps.
Can a car carrier reach my street in New Orleans?
Sometimes. Many older neighborhoods have narrow streets and truck restrictions. If a full-size carrier can't safely reach your address, your driver will arrange to meet at a nearby open area.
Do you ship cars between Louisiana and Texas?
Yes — all the time. We're based in Lake Jackson, Texas, and Louisiana–Texas routes along I-10 are some of our most common.
Is my car insured during transport?
Yes. Every carrier we work with is required to carry active cargo insurance. Your vehicle's condition is documented on the Bill of Lading at pickup and checked again at delivery. Personal items left in the vehicle are not covered.
Do I have to pay upfront?
No. There's $0 due at booking. Once a carrier is assigned, you can either pay a small deposit and the remaining balance directly to the driver at delivery, or pay in full at that point so nothing is due at delivery.
