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 Dallas, TX

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.

Delivering to Dallas is just as easy. It sits at the natural midpoint of so many carrier routes. Trucks coming up from Houston on I-45, in from the west on I-20, down from Oklahoma on I-35, and east from the Midlands all pass through the DFW area regularly. Your car does not need any special routing or a premium to get here. Carriers want to come to Dallas.

Pricing on This Route

Shipping a standard sedan from San Antonio to Dallas on open carrier currently estimates between $250 and $550. That is based on the 308-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.

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.
