Fully insured, door-to-door auto transport. No deposit until your carrier is confirmed. 5-star rated.
Houston is one of the easiest cities in the country for auto transport. We move cars in and out of here every single day. It sits right on I-10 and I-45 which are two of the busiest carrier corridors in the US. There are hundreds of dealerships across the metro, plus Manheim Houston, ADESA Houston, and multiple Copart and IAA locations. That means carriers are always running through here looking for loads. On top of that, the Port of Houston handles a ton of vehicle imports and exports, so there is never a shortage of trucks in the area.
Pickups in Houston are fast. Most of the time we get a carrier assigned within 1 to 3 days. Sometimes it happens same day if the timing lines up right. There are so many carriers running through the Houston metro that you are rarely waiting long. The only time things slow down a little is during hurricane season from August to October when some carriers avoid the Gulf Coast. Even then it is usually just a day or two longer than normal.

San Jose sits at the south end of the Bay Area and draws from the same carrier pool as San Francisco and Oakland. US-101 and I-880 are the main arteries connecting San Jose to the rest of the Bay, and I-280 offers another route up the Peninsula. Carriers that work the Bay Area do not separate San Jose from Oakland or San Francisco in their minds. It is all one market. ADESA San Jose is on Tully Road and IAA has a San Jose facility as well. Manheim serves the Bay Area out of its Hayward location, which is easy distance from San Jose. The tech industry here drives consistent relocation traffic, both individuals moving in for new jobs and companies relocating employee vehicles. This is a high volume, dependable market.
San Jose is an easy delivery destination. Carriers coming down I-5 from Oregon or up I-5 from LA can take I-580 or I-205 to I-880 straight into the South Bay. The streets here are more carrier-friendly than much of San Francisco. Residential neighborhoods have decent access and carriers rarely need special accommodations. Tech campus deliveries to companies in Cupertino or Palo Alto are straightforward. Expect your car to arrive without unusual issues.
Shipping a standard sedan from Houston to San Jose on open carrier currently estimates between $1075 and $1375. That is based on the 1,962-mile distance and current market conditions.
Houston almost always runs at or below the national average. High carrier volume means more competition for your load and that keeps prices down. The huge number of dealerships and auctions in the area means there is constant demand, but there are also plenty of carriers to meet it. The only time you might see prices bump up a little is during hurricane season when some trucks reroute away from the Gulf. But even then we are talking small increases, not anything crazy.

San Jose prices run at or slightly above the national average, similar to the rest of the Bay Area. The market is strong enough that you are not paying a remote location premium. The busiest and most competitive lanes are San Jose to Los Angeles, San Jose to Phoenix, and San Jose to Portland and Seattle. Corporate relocation demand keeps the inbound market strong. Fall and spring see the most relocation activity from the tech industry. Summer is competitive. Winter softens slightly. Get a quote to see your exact price.
