Shipping from Austin, TX

Austin has become one of the fastest growing auto transport markets in the country over the last several years and the volume has followed. The tech industry boom brought tens of thousands of relocations from California, the Northeast, and the Pacific Northwest, and that created enormous shipping demand in both directions. I-35 is the main north to south corridor connecting Austin to Dallas and San Antonio. I-10 is accessible nearby heading east to Houston and west to the Hill Country. Dealer density has grown significantly and auction activity is solid. This market is active and getting more active every year.

Pickups in Austin typically happen within 2 to 3 days. The relocation boom has meant carriers are actively looking for Austin loads because the volume is there. The California to Austin corridor is especially well traveled. Carriers who dropped a California load in Austin are looking for a load back west, which works in your favor if you are shipping from Austin to California. Routes to Dallas and Houston are fast. The I-35 corridor between Austin and Dallas is one of the most consistently active lanes in Texas.

Arriving in Aurora, CO

Aurora is the eastern suburbs of Denver and carriers treat it as part of the Denver metro. Manheim Denver is actually located in Aurora at 17500 East 32nd Avenue, which means this is where the carrier and dealer activity is concentrated for the whole region. That is a significant advantage. I-70 runs east through Aurora heading toward Kansas City and connects west into Denver toward the mountains. I-225 cuts through Aurora connecting I-70 to I-25 in the southern metro. The dealer market across Aurora, Centennial, Parker, and the southeast Denver suburbs is active and growing.

Delivering to Aurora is smooth. Carriers on I-70 coming from the east, and trucks dropping down from I-25 from the north and south, all pass through or near Aurora naturally. The eastern and southern parts of Aurora are flat and easy for car haulers to navigate. Some of the hillier or newer residential developments in the far southeast can occasionally prompt a meetup request but it is not common. Most deliveries are door to door without any hassle.

Pricing on This Route

Shipping a standard sedan from Austin to Aurora on open carrier currently estimates between $650 and $950. That is based on the 935-mile distance and current market conditions.

Austin pricing runs close to the national average with a few notable corridors. The Austin to California route is competitive and often well priced. The Austin to Dallas and Austin to Houston lanes are very affordable because of the sheer volume. Long haul routes to the Northeast run at market rate. The relocation boom has actually kept prices reasonable because it brought more carrier supply to match the demand.

Aurora prices are Denver prices. The mountain premium that affects the whole Front Range applies here too. Routes heading west over the Rockies on I-70 toward Salt Lake City and the Pacific Coast carry that elevation and pass risk premium. Routes east toward Kansas City and Chicago on I-70 are very well priced because carrier traffic in both directions is strong. Dallas, Phoenix, and Houston lanes are active and competitive. Summer is the peak season. Winter sees some pricing volatility tied to weather. Get a quote to see your exact price.
