Oakland is the auto transport workhorse of the Bay Area. While San Francisco gets all the attention, Oakland is where carriers actually want to be. The Port of Oakland is one of the top five busiest ports in the United States and handles significant vehicle import and export traffic on Ro-Ro vessels. Carriers can maneuver in Oakland in a way they simply cannot in San Francisco. I-880 runs through the heart of Oakland and connects directly to I-80 and I-580, giving carriers easy access in every direction. Manheim's Bay Area auction operations are based in Hayward, just south of Oakland, which keeps carrier activity flowing through this part of the metro constantly. ADESA operates in the Bay Area as well. The East Bay dealer market is deep. This is a high activity market.
Pickups in Oakland and the East Bay typically happen within 2 to 4 days. East Bay cities like Oakland, Fremont, Hayward, San Leandro, and Richmond are all easy carrier territory. Wide industrial streets and commercial zones give carriers room to operate. If you are in the hills areas like Rockridge or Montclair, a quick meetup at a flat accessible street or nearby lot is usually the move. Flatlands Oakland is generally smooth. Berkeley and Emeryville work well. Alameda requires ferry or the poratl for oversized rigs, so plan to meet your carrier on the mainland.
San Antonio is a solid mid-major auto transport market. I-10 runs through it east to west connecting it to Houston and El Paso. I-35 runs north to south and is one of the most important carrier corridors in Texas, connecting San Antonio to Austin, Dallas, and eventually the Midwest. I-37 heads southeast toward Corpus Christi. There is good dealer density in the metro and several auction locations including Manheim San Antonio. Military presence at Fort Sam Houston, Lackland, and Randolph also keeps a steady flow of military relocation moves going in and out of the city year round. San Antonio moves well.
San Antonio is easy to deliver to. Carriers coming down I-35 from Dallas, east on I-10 from El Paso, or west on I-10 from Houston all pass through naturally. The military market ensures there are always cars moving in both directions, which keeps carrier interest high. Expect smooth deliveries on most routes.
Shipping a standard sedan from Oakland to San Antonio on open carrier currently estimates between $975 and $1275. That is based on the 1,806-mile distance and current market conditions.

San Antonio runs right around the national average. It is not as cheap as Houston or Dallas simply because it is a step down in carrier volume, but it is not a premium market either. The I-35 corridor to Dallas and Austin is especially competitive. Military relocation moves often have contracted rates through the government so if you are a service member make sure to ask about that when you get your quote.
