We work with licensed & insured carriers who already run your route, door to door, to and from all 48 contiguous states. Here’s how it works in 2026, what moves the price, and how to get a quote.
How Dallas car transport works
- Get your quote. Tell us pickup, delivery, vehicle and ship date on our free quote page or call (469) 442-0643. During business hours you usually hear back within the hour.
- We match your carrier. We find a licensed, insured carrier who already runs your lane out of Dallas, and you get their name and contact info directly.
- Pickup and inspection. The driver arrives at the agreed time, then inspects and documents your vehicle before it goes on the trailer.
- Delivery to your door. You do a final inspection at delivery. There’s no upfront payment: you pay the carrier directly at pickup or delivery, per the carrier’s terms.

Popular lanes to and from Dallas
Dallas sits where I-35, I-20, I-30 and I-45 meet, so carriers run steady trips in every direction. Mileages below are approximate driving distances.
- Texas Triangle: Dallas to Houston (about 240 mi on I-45) and Dallas to Austin (about 195 mi on I-35). These short hauls often take 1–3 days.
- West: Dallas to Los Angeles (about 1,435 mi) and Dallas to Phoenix (about 1,065 mi).
- East and Southeast: Dallas to Atlanta (about 780 mi) and Dallas to Miami (about 1,310 mi), a busy snowbird lane in fall and spring.
- North: Dallas to Chicago (about 925 mi) and Dallas to New York (about 1,550 mi).

Open or enclosed transport?
Open transport is the most common and most affordable choice. It’s the same multi-car trailer dealerships use, and it suits most daily drivers. Enclosed transport keeps classics, exotics and low-clearance cars out of the weather and road debris, and it usually costs more. Non-running vehicles can ship too, on a carrier with a winch. Just tell us when you request your quote.
What affects the price in 2026
- Distance and lane: busy lanes with lots of trucks are often easier to book than remote routes.
- Vehicle size and condition: a lifted truck or a non-runner takes more space or extra equipment.
- Open vs. enclosed: enclosed trailers carry fewer cars, so they cost more per car.
- Season and timing: snowbird season, summer moves and tight deadlines all raise demand. Flexible dates help.
- Fuel: rates follow diesel prices, which is why we quote your exact dates instead of a generic price.
Door-to-door across Dallas–Fort Worth
We arrange pickup and delivery across the Metroplex: Dallas, Fort Worth, Plano, Arlington, Irving, Frisco, McKinney, Garland, Grand Prairie, Denton, Richardson, Carrollton and the surrounding area. The driver gets as close to your door as a big truck can safely reach. On narrow streets or in HOA neighborhoods, a nearby open parking lot works just as well.
