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.

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.
Delivering to Austin is strong. The inbound relocation traffic means carriers frequently need to fill their trucks heading to Austin from both coasts. From California, the Southwest, and the Northeast carriers run to Austin regularly. It is a desirable delivery market because carriers know they can find a return load. Expect 2 to 4 days on most routes.
Shipping a standard sedan from Houston to Austin on open carrier currently estimates between $250 and $550. That is based on the 178-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.

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.
