Shipping from New York, NY

New York is one of the highest volume auto transport markets in the country. We move cars in and out of the metro constantly. The challenge here is not finding a carrier. It is navigating the logistics. The metro has three major vehicle import terminals through Port Newark and Port Elizabeth in New Jersey, and there are large Manheim and ADESA auction locations that keep carrier traffic flowing through the area year round. Dealership density is extremely high across the five boroughs and into Long Island, Westchester, and New Jersey. Volume is not the problem. Access is.

Pickups in New York typically happen within 2 to 4 days. But here is what most people do not know. Carriers prefer to pick up from suburbs and outer areas rather than deep inside Manhattan or Brooklyn. If your car is in the city you should expect to coordinate a meetup at a nearby parking lot or side street. Carriers simply cannot maneuver a multi-car hauler through midtown. If you are in Queens, Long Island, New Jersey, or Westchester, pickups are much smoother and usually faster. Let us know where the car is when you get your quote and we will tell you exactly what to expect.

High Volume

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 New York to San Antonio on open carrier currently estimates between $1050 and $1350. That is based on the 1,929-mile distance and current market conditions.

New York is not cheap. Prices run 10 to 20 percent above the national average. Part of that is the access premium because carriers deal with tolls, traffic, and tight streets. Part of it is just demand. There is enormous competition for slots on cars moving to and from New York. Winter can slow things down slightly when carriers prefer warmer routes, and summer sees elevated demand from people relocating. But overall this is a year round active market.

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.
