Austin Car Shipping
Car Shipping To & From Austin
Austin has been one of the fastest-growing cities in the country, fueled by tech companies and a steady stream of people relocating from California, the Northeast, and the Midwest. Many of them would rather ship their car than drive it across the country.
Whether you're moving to Round Rock for a new job, sending a car to a student at UT Austin or Texas State, relocating from the Bay Area, or shipping a vehicle out of Central Texas, we match your vehicle with a vetted, insured carrier already running your route.
We service all of Greater Austin. Every shipment is door-to-door, comes with a final-price quote, and has $0 due at booking.

Local Know-How
Getting Around Austin
I-35 runs straight through the middle of Austin and is one of the most congested stretches of highway in Texas. MoPac (Loop 1) parallels it on the west side, US-183 cuts across north and east Austin, and SH-130 — a toll road — lets carriers bypass the city entirely between Georgetown and the south side.
Suburban addresses in Round Rock, Cedar Park, and Pflugerville are usually easy for carriers to reach. Downtown high-rises, narrow central neighborhoods, and hilly roads in Westlake and the Hill Country may need a nearby meeting spot, and your driver will call ahead to plan it.

Good to Know
Austin Car Shipping Tips
A few local things that can affect your Austin shipment.
Moving to Austin?
New Texas residents generally have 30 days to register at the county tax office. Travis and Williamson counties require an emissions test first. Check TxDMV for current requirements.
Relocating From California?
California to Austin is one of the most common routes we ship. Book a couple of weeks ahead in summer, the busiest moving season.
Summer Heat & Flash Floods
Central Texas summers are hot, and heavy rain can cause sudden flooding in low areas. Carriers may adjust pickup or delivery times for safety.
Students & Military
We ship vehicles for students at UT Austin, Texas State, St. Edward's, and Southwestern, and for service members at Fort Hood about an hour north.

How Much Does Austin Car Shipping Cost?
Here's what determines the price of shipping a car to or from Austin.
Distance & Route
Austin sits on I-35, so routes north and south are busy. Cross-country trips cost more overall but less per mile.
Exact Address
Suburban addresses near the highways are easiest to reach. Downtown high-rises and Hill Country roads may need extra planning.
Season & Demand
Summer moving season and the start of the school year are the busiest times in Austin.
Open or Enclosed
Open transport is the most affordable and how most cars travel this route. Enclosed costs more but shields your vehicle from weather and road debris.
Vehicle Size
Full-size trucks and SUVs take more trailer space and weight capacity than sedans, so they cost a bit more to ship.
Pickup Flexibility
A flexible pickup window gives us more carriers to choose from — which usually means a better price and a faster match.
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
Austin Car Shipping FAQs
How much does it cost to ship a car to or from Austin?
The price depends on distance, route, vehicle size, open or enclosed transport, season, and how flexible your dates are. Routes along I-35 and I-10 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 from Austin take?
It depends mostly on distance. Trips within Texas or to nearby states often take 1 to 3 days after pickup, Austin to Florida commonly takes about 3 to 5 days, and Austin to California takes about 3 to 7 days.
Do you ship cars from California to Austin?
Yes. California to Austin is one of the most common relocation routes we see. Every shipment is door-to-door.
Do you service Round Rock, Cedar Park, and Georgetown?
Yes. We service all of Greater Austin, including Round Rock, Cedar Park, Leander, Georgetown, Pflugerville, Lakeway, Kyle, Buda, and San Marcos.
Can a car carrier reach a downtown Austin high-rise?
Usually not right at the building. Your driver will call ahead and arrange to meet at a nearby open area or street where it's safe to load or unload.
What do I need to register my car after moving to Austin?
New Texas residents generally have 30 days to register at the county tax office. Travis and Williamson counties require an emissions test first. Check TxDMV for the latest requirements.
Can you ship a car to a student at UT Austin?
Yes. We ship vehicles to and from UT Austin, Texas State, and other Central Texas campuses. Someone 18 or older needs to be present at pickup and delivery.
Do you ship cars from Austin to other Texas cities?
Yes. We handle in-state moves like Austin to Houston, Dallas, El Paso, or Lubbock. Every shipment is door-to-door.
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.
