Shipping from San Antonio, TX

San Antonio is a solid mid-major auto transport market. I-10 runs through it east to west connecting it to Houston and El Paso. I-35 runs north to south and is one of the most important carrier corridors in Texas, connecting San Antonio to Austin, Dallas, and eventually the Midwest. I-37 heads southeast toward Corpus Christi. There is good dealer density in the metro and several auction locations including Manheim San Antonio. Military presence at Fort Sam Houston, Lackland, and Randolph also keeps a steady flow of military relocation moves going in and out of the city year round. San Antonio moves well.

Pickups from San Antonio usually happen within 2 to 3 days. The I-35 corridor to Dallas and Austin is one of the most active carrier lanes in Texas and your car can often catch a truck already running that route. Military relocation moves add consistent demand that keeps carriers interested in this market throughout the year. If you are shipping to Houston, Dallas, or Austin, timing is typically fast. Routes to the coasts take a little longer to match but the connections through Dallas and Houston make them manageable.

Major Hub

Arriving in Phoenix, AZ

Phoenix is one of the most important auto transport hubs in the western United States. It sits right on I-10 which is the primary east to west corridor connecting LA to Houston. I-17 runs north to Vegas and I-40 catches the northern route across the country. Manheim Phoenix is a large and very active auction. The dealer market across Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa, Chandler, and Gilbert is deep. Phoenix is also one of the top snowbird destinations in the country, which means the transport demand in and out of this market is massive and consistent. Carriers love Phoenix because there is always a load.

Delivering to Phoenix is just as easy. Carriers running I-10 from LA are headed this direction constantly. Trucks coming up from Tucson and Nogales, or across I-40 from Albuquerque and beyond, all funnel through the Phoenix metro. It is a natural delivery point on most major western routes. Expect smooth delivery with minimal wait time.

Pricing on This Route

Shipping a standard sedan from San Antonio to Phoenix on open carrier currently estimates between $575 and $875. That is based on the 1,033-mile distance and current market conditions.

San Antonio runs right around the national average. It is not as cheap as Houston or Dallas simply because it is a step down in carrier volume, but it is not a premium market either. The I-35 corridor to Dallas and Austin is especially competitive. Military relocation moves often have contracted rates through the government so if you are a service member make sure to ask about that when you get your quote.

Phoenix runs at or below the national average for auto transport on most routes. The snowbird lanes to and from the Midwest and Great Lakes region see the most pricing fluctuation, with October through November and March through April being peak demand periods. Prices on those lanes can run 10 to 20 percent above the off season equivalent. The I-10 corridor to LA and Houston is extremely competitive year round. Get a quote to see where your route falls.
