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.
Kansas City sits at a genuine crossroads. Four interstates serve the metro. I-70 runs east to west, connecting St. Louis to Denver. I-35 runs north to south, connecting Minneapolis and Kansas City and continuing down to Oklahoma City and Dallas. I-29 heads northwest toward Omaha and Sioux City. I-49 runs south toward Arkansas and Louisiana. That is a lot of carrier corridors passing through one city. Manheim Kansas City is located on North Skiles Avenue and is an active regional auction. ADESA Kansas City is on Adesa Drive and adds more wholesale volume. The dealer market across Kansas City proper and the Kansas suburbs is solid. Carriers running the I-70 corridor from coast to coast pass through here regularly. This market sees good consistent traffic in most directions.
Delivering to Kansas City is efficient because so many carrier routes intersect here. Trucks heading west from St. Louis on I-70, north from Oklahoma City and Dallas on I-35, and south from Omaha on I-29 all reach Kansas City naturally. Carriers are not going out of their way to get here. The auction activity at Manheim and ADESA gives carriers real business reasons to be in this market beyond just your vehicle, which helps keep delivery windows tight.
Shipping a standard sedan from San Antonio to Kansas City on open carrier currently estimates between $575 and $875. That is based on the 860-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.
Kansas City runs at or slightly below the national average. The four-interstate access and auction density keep this market competitive. Routes on I-70 toward St. Louis, Denver, and the coasts are among the most active carrier corridors in the country and prices show it. Routes on I-35 between Dallas and Minneapolis are well traveled and efficient. Getting into rural Missouri or rural Kansas from Kansas City costs more because you are departing the dense corridors.
