Dallas is one of the top five auto transport hubs in the country and it is not close. The DFW metro has Manheim Dallas Fort Worth, ADESA Dallas, and multiple Copart and IAA locations scattered across the region. The dealer density across Dallas, Fort Worth, Plano, Irving, and the surrounding suburbs is enormous. I-20, I-30, I-35, and I-45 all converge in this region giving carriers four major corridors to move cars in every direction. We move cars in and out of Dallas every single day. This market never really slows down.
Pickups in Dallas are fast. Most loads get a carrier assigned within 1 to 2 days. The DFW metro is big enough that carriers specifically plan routes through it because they know there will always be a load heading back out. If your car is in the suburbs, pickups are smooth. If it is in a busier commercial zone near downtown we might ask for a simple meetup location but that is rare. Be ready to move because Dallas carriers tend to want to pick up quickly when they have an open slot.
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.
Oakland is one of the better delivery destinations in Northern California. Carriers coming up I-5 from LA or coming off I-80 from the East find the East Bay a natural stopping point. The Port area has wide road infrastructure built for freight. Residential neighborhoods in Oakland and surrounding cities are accessible for standard car haulers. Delivery timelines are predictable once your car is in transit.
Shipping a standard sedan from Dallas to Oakland on open carrier currently estimates between $975 and $1275. That is based on the 1,797-mile distance and current market conditions.
Dallas is consistently at or below the national average for auto transport. The high carrier competition in this market keeps prices down. You are not going to pay a premium just to get a car in or out of DFW. The only time prices shift noticeably is during the summer relocation season when demand spikes. Even then it is modest. Routes to Houston, San Antonio, Austin, and Oklahoma City are especially active and efficient. Get a quote to see your exact price.
Oakland and the East Bay price similarly to the broader Bay Area market, which runs slightly above the national average. You get better carrier access here than in San Francisco proper, and that helps on pricing. The Oakland to Los Angeles lane on I-5 is one of the most active in California and priced very competitively. Routes to Portland and Seattle are solid. East Coast routes through I-80 are consistent. Summer sees the highest demand. January through March is typically when you can find the best rates. Get a quote to see your exact price.
