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.
Tampa is one of the best positioned markets in Florida for auto transport and that is saying something because Florida as a whole is extremely active. Manheim Tampa is on South 50th Street in the city. ADESA Tampa is right nearby on North 50th Street. Copart Tampa South is also in the market. That kind of auction density inside the city limits means carriers have real business reasons to be here. I-75 is the main north-south corridor, connecting Tampa straight to Atlanta and up to Detroit. I-4 runs east across the state to Orlando and Daytona Beach. The two highways meet near downtown Tampa and that convergence is what makes this market tick. Carriers running the Florida snowbird circuit treat Tampa as a reliable staging point.
Tampa receives cars well. Carriers on I-75 from Atlanta and further north are making this run constantly during the fall and winter months. The flip side is that in late spring and summer when snowbirds head back north, there can be a short window where northbound loads are so abundant that carriers snap them up fast, making deliveries from out of state slightly quicker to coordinate. Summer is slower overall for in-state Florida demand, but the interstate corridors stay active. One thing to know is that Tampa Bay traffic on I-4 and I-275 can affect carrier timing during rush hours. Drivers account for this and it is not a major issue.
Shipping a standard sedan from Dallas to Tampa on open carrier currently estimates between $625 and $925. That is based on the 1,118-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.
Tampa runs at or slightly below the national average depending on your route and the time of year. During peak snowbird season from November through February, southbound pricing into Tampa is competitive because carriers are actively filling loads heading to Florida. In May and June when snowbirds reverse course, northbound pricing from Tampa can actually be favorable for the same reason. Summer months are slower and carriers need a little more incentive to come down. Routes to Atlanta on I-75 and to Orlando on I-4 are consistently efficient. Routes to Texas are active. Long haul to the Northeast or West Coast will cost more. Get a quote to see your exact price.
