Shipping from Baltimore, MD

Baltimore has something most cities do not: a major vehicle import port. The Port of Baltimore processes a huge volume of vehicle cargo every year through Fairfield and Masonville terminals plus the Chesapeake and Atlantic auto terminals. That port activity alone draws carriers to this market. On the road side, I-95 is the backbone, connecting Baltimore directly to Washington DC to the south and Philadelphia and New York to the north. I-83 runs north into Pennsylvania. I-70 connects westward toward Frederick and the Midwest. Manheim Baltimore-Washington is located in Elkridge, just west of the city off I-95. IAA has a Baltimore-area location too. This is a high volume market with real infrastructure behind it.

Pickups in Baltimore run 2 to 4 days in most cases. Suburban areas like Elkridge, Towson, and the counties south and west of the city are easier for carrier access than the tight rowhouse streets in city neighborhoods. Carriers running I-95 between New York and the South pass through Baltimore constantly, so your car fits naturally into existing lanes. The Port activity means there is always a steady flow of carrier traffic. Snowbird season from October through April adds volume on the I-95 Florida corridor.

Arriving in San Antonio, TX

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.

Pricing on This Route

Shipping a standard sedan from Baltimore to San Antonio on open carrier currently estimates between $925 and $1225. That is based on the 1,729-mile distance and current market conditions.

Baltimore runs slightly above the national average. The port activity and dense I-95 corridor keep volume high, but the DC metro market nearby creates competition for carrier slots. Routes to and from New York, Philadelphia, and DC are very competitive. Routes south on I-95 toward the Carolinas and Florida are among the most active carrier lanes in the country and priced well. Heading west or into rural Maryland costs more because you are leaving a dense corridor. Get a quote to see your exact price.

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.
