While we ship vehicles to all 50 states, these are our most heavily requested outbound routes from Texas.
Texas to California is one of the highest-volume routes in the entire country. Tech workers relocating to Silicon Valley and Los Angeles drive consistent demand all year long. Many Texans also move to California for the entertainment industry and warmer coastal lifestyle. Our carriers run I-10 west through El Paso and into Southern California multiple times every week.
Retirees and snowbirds leaving Texas for Florida's Gulf Coast drive steady demand on this corridor. Many Texans have second homes in Naples, Sarasota, and Fort Lauderdale. Corporate relocations between Houston's energy sector and Miami's finance industry also fuel this route. Our drivers run I-10 east through Louisiana and into Florida consistently throughout the year.
Texas to New York is a long haul but a very common one. Finance and media professionals frequently relocate between Houston or Dallas and New York City. Students heading to universities in the Northeast also ship their cars on this route every August. Our carriers run I-20 east and connect to I-81 north to deliver directly into the New York metro area.
Texans move to Colorado in large numbers every year, drawn by the Rocky Mountain outdoor lifestyle and a booming Denver job market. The tech and aerospace industries in the Denver-Boulder corridor attract many Dallas and Austin professionals. Our drivers navigate I-25 north through Pueblo and Denver to deliver your vehicle safely in the mountain west.
Relocating to Texas? Here are the most common routes our carriers run inbound.
The California-to-Texas migration is one of the biggest population trends in modern American history. High taxes and housing costs in Los Angeles and San Francisco are pushing thousands of families toward Dallas, Austin, and Houston every single month. The remote-work revolution accelerated this trend significantly after 2020. Our carriers run I-10 east from Southern California into Texas on a near-daily basis.
Chicago residents are moving to Texas in large numbers to escape the cold winters and high state income taxes. Dallas and Houston are the top destinations, offering strong job markets in finance, healthcare, and technology. Our carriers run I-55 south to I-70, connecting through Missouri and Arkansas before entering Texas from the north via I-30.
New York City residents are relocating to Texas at a record pace. The lower cost of living, zero state income tax, and warm climate make Austin and Dallas top choices. Many Wall Street and finance professionals are setting up shop in Houston's growing financial district. Our carriers make this long-haul run via I-78 west to I-81 south, merging onto I-40 before entering Texas.
Auto industry professionals from the Detroit area frequently relocate to Texas as Toyota, Tesla, and other manufacturers expand their Texas footprints. Many Michigan retirees also head south to escape brutal Great Lakes winters. Our drivers connect southbound via I-75 and I-65, merging with major southern corridors before arriving in Houston or Dallas.
Texas car shipping rates depend on distance, trailer type, vehicle size, and the time of year. Short hauls within Texas or to neighboring states like New Mexico or Louisiana are naturally cheaper. Long-haul routes to California or New York carry higher rates due to fuel, driver hours, and distance. Summer and early fall see the highest demand, which pushes prices up. Booking two to three weeks in advance will always get you the best available rate.
| Vehicle Type & Details | Open Transport | Enclosed Transport |
|---|---|---|
Compact / Mid-Size Sedan (e.g., Camry, Civic) Baseline pricing. These are lightweight, easy to load, and fit on any level of a standard 9-car carrier. | $550–$950 | $900–$1,400 |
Small SUV / Crossover (e.g., CR-V, RAV4) Slightly taller and heavier than standard sedans, resulting in a small premium ($50-$100) on open carriers. | $600–$1,050 | $950–$1,500 |
Large SUV / Minivan (e.g., Tahoe, Odyssey) These push the height and weight limits of a trailer. Carriers often must load them on the bottom row, taking up premium space. | $700–$1,150 | $1,100–$1,700 |
Full-Size Pickup Truck (e.g., F-150, Silverado 1500) The long wheelbase and high roofline mean a truck takes up significantly more trailer volume, commanding a higher rate. | $750–$1,200 | $1,200–$1,800 |
Heavy-Duty / Dually Truck (e.g., F-350, Ram 3500) Extremely heavy and wide. Duallys often take up two standard slots on a trailer or require a specialized flatbed hotshot. | $900–$1,450 | $1,400–$2,200 |
Electric Vehicle (EV) (e.g., Tesla, Rivian) EV battery packs make these vehicles 20% to 30% heavier than gas equivalents, heavily impacting the truck's strict DOT weight limits. | $750–$1,300 | $1,200–$1,900 |
Luxury / Low-Clearance Sports Car Low ground clearance requires trailers with hydraulic lift-gates. Enclosed transport is highly recommended for full protection. | $850–$1,400 | $1,300–$2,000 |
Motorcycle / ATV Shipped via specialized enclosed motorcycle carriers with custom soft-tie strapping systems. Usually much cheaper than a standard car. | $300–$550 | $450–$750 |

Looking to cross state lines? These are the highest-volume state-to-state corridors our carriers run to and from Texas.
This is the single busiest corridor in our entire Texas network. The reverse California migration brings thousands of people from Los Angeles and the Bay Area into Austin, Dallas, and Houston every month. Our drivers make this run on I-10 multiple times per week. The 1,400-mile journey typically takes two to four days depending on pickup and drop-off locations.
Relocating Californians are the single biggest inbound driver for Texas auto transport demand. No state income tax and dramatically lower housing costs attract hundreds of thousands of residents from Southern California and the Bay Area annually. Our westbound return loads on I-10 keep rates competitive on this route all year long.
Retirees and Gulf Coast snowbirds fuel the Texas-to-Florida corridor year-round. Many Houston and San Antonio residents own winter homes in Fort Myers, Naples, and Clearwater. The drive along I-10 east through Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama is a well-worn path for our experienced team of drivers.
The Chicago-to-Texas corridor picks up steam every winter as Illinois residents escape the brutal cold and high taxes. Dallas and Austin receive the lion's share of these relocations. Our southbound runs carry strong load availability from October through March, which helps keep pricing stable on this route.

Common questions about shipping vehicles to and from Texas
Transit time depends on where your vehicle is coming from. Short hauls from neighboring states like New Mexico or Louisiana typically take one to two days. Mid-range routes from Illinois or Georgia run three to four days. Long-haul routes from California, New York, or Washington state usually take five to seven days. These estimates cover transit time only. Add one to three days for carrier pickup scheduling at the origin, and you have your full door-to-door window. Furious Auto Shipping will give you a specific estimated delivery window when you book your shipment.
Yes, Furious Auto Shipping provides true door-to-door delivery throughout Texas. Our drivers will come directly to your home or business for both pickup and drop-off. The only exception involves certain types of neighborhoods that physically restrict large commercial trucks. This includes gated master-planned communities like The Woodlands north of Houston, Southlake near Fort Worth, and many HOA-managed subdivisions in the San Antonio suburbs. In those cases, our driver will call you and arrange a nearby meet point — typically a retail parking lot or community entrance — just a short distance from your front door.
January through mid-March is hands-down the cheapest time to ship a car out of Texas. The university move-in rush is over, the holiday travel season has ended, and corporate relocation slows during Q1 budget cycles. Carrier availability is high and demand is low during this window. You can typically save 15% to 25% on your shipping rate compared to the summer peak. If your schedule is flexible, plan your move during these winter months for the best possible price.
Yes, you can usually pack up to 100 pounds of personal items in the trunk or cargo area. However, everything must stay below the window line so the driver can see safely. Please note that carriers cannot transport heavy household goods, and your personal items are not covered by the truck's cargo insurance.
Yes, we can easily ship an inoperable vehicle to Texas. We just need to know in advance so we can send a truck equipped with a winch to safely pull your car onto the trailer. This service usually adds a small, standard fee to your total transport cost.
Either you or a trusted adult (over 18) must be present at delivery. This person needs to inspect the vehicle with the driver, compare it to the pickup condition report, and sign the final Bill of Lading to accept the delivery.
Yes. Because your car sits on our commercial trailer and is not being driven on public roads, it does not need active license plates, registration, or your personal auto insurance to be transported. You can handle the Texas DMV and TxDMV registration paperwork after we deliver it to your door.
We believe in total transparency. Our dispatch team will give you regular updates as your vehicle crosses state lines. You will also have the direct phone number for the truck driver hauling your car, so you can call or text them for a real-time location update.
