Open vs. enclosed

Choose how your car travels

Both are door-to-door and fully insured. The right choice depends on your car — and whichever you select in the form is exactly what your estimate is priced for.

Most popular

Open transport

Your car rides on an open multi-car carrier — the same method dealerships use to move new cars across the country.

  • Best value on every Texas route
  • Fastest scheduling — most carriers run open
  • Right for everyday cars, SUVs and trucks
Maximum protection

Enclosed transport

Your car travels inside a fully covered trailer, shielded from weather and road debris from pickup to delivery.

  • Built for classic, luxury & collector cars
  • Soft straps and lift-gate loading on most trailers
  • Priced higher — reflected in your estimate when selected

Questions, answered

Texas car shipping FAQ

The things everyone asks before they ship to Texas.

How is my estimated range calculated?

From your route distance, vehicle size and type, your pickup timing, and whether you chose open or enclosed transport. Your range appears on screen as soon as you submit your details, and your specialist confirms the exact quote when a carrier is matched to your dates.

When do I actually pay?

Your estimate is free, and nothing is charged on this page. When you've accepted a confirmed quote and you're ready to book, you can lock in your spot with a fixed reservation fee, arranged with your specialist on the confirmation call — credited toward your final price, and they walk you through it before anything is charged.

How long does shipping to Texas take?

Most routes take 3–6 days on the road depending on distance; shorter regional hops from neighboring states can be 2–3 days. Your pickup window is confirmed when you book — see the route table above for typical times.

Can I put things in the car?

Most carriers allow a modest amount of personal items in the trunk (commonly up to about 100 lbs). Keep valuables, documents and fragile items with you, and confirm the exact allowance with your specialist when you book.

Is my car insured during transport?

Yes — carriers in the network carry cargo insurance, and the carrier's coverage applies while your vehicle is in transit. Your specialist confirms the carrier's details with you before pickup, and you inspect the car together at both ends.

I'm moving to Texas but my car is still back home — can you time delivery with my arrival?

Yes. Tell your specialist your move-in date and the carrier's delivery window is planned around it — most customers have the car arrive within a day or two of getting their keys. You can also ship a second car later on its own schedule.

What if my plans change after I submit?

Nothing is locked in by requesting an estimate. If your dates or destination change, just tell your specialist when they contact you — your quote is simply recalculated for the new plan.

Your car could be in Texas this week.

Thirty seconds of form, one quick confirmation call, and the long drive to Texas is someone else's job.
