A fast, well-traveled route
Interstate 10 connects Houston and San Antonio directly with Jacksonville, and most carriers heading east from Texas run Florida loads every week. That steady traffic usually means quick pickups and stable pricing for metro routes such as Houston, Dallas–Fort Worth, Austin and San Antonio.
Shipping also saves you two to three days of driving through Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama, plus hotels, fuel and wear on your vehicle.
Open or enclosed transport?
Open transport is the most affordable choice for everyday cars, SUVs and pickups. Learn more about open car transport.
Enclosed transport protects luxury, classic and low-clearance vehicles from weather and road debris. Learn more about enclosed auto transport.
Hurricane season and timing
From June through November, tropical storms along the Gulf Coast can delay pickups and deliveries for a few days. If your dates are fixed, tell us early and keep a small buffer in your plans.
What affects the price?
- Exact pickup and delivery ZIP codes: metro-to-metro routes cost less.
- Vehicle size: trucks and large SUVs, common in Texas, take more space than sedans.
