Shipping a car in Texas City

Texas City sits in Galveston County, Texas and has about 57,875 residents. Places this size are typically served as part of a wider regional run rather than as a dedicated trip, so the pickup date generally has more give in it than the delivery window does. Booking a few days early is what buys you a choice of dates.

Texas City works as a standalone pickup within reach of League City (15 mi), Galveston (20 mi) and Friendswood (20 mi). A Texas run through this area may take in League City on the same trip before heading out on I-10, I-35, and I-45. That is why pickup is quoted as a window of days rather than a set hour: the arrival time depends on the stops booked around yours.

Distances from Texas City to the larger markets around it: San Antonio, TX at about 260 road miles, Baton Rouge, LA at about 285 road miles and Dallas, TX at about 310 road miles. Distance decides more of a long-distance rate than anything else, so those numbers are where a quote starts. Our published corridors of comparable length, 155 to 410 miles, quote $400 to $700 for a sedan on an open trailer, which is the frame for a quote from here rather than a price for it.

Elsewhere in Galveston County we also collect in Friendswood, Galveston and League City. A booking that shares a truck with a neighbouring pickup is usually the cheaper option, so it is worth mentioning if you are moving more than one vehicle.

Before you book

Carrier checks and vehicle preparation are the same for a Texas City pickup as for any other, so they are covered once rather than on every city page. Before pickup, ask for the carrier's MC or USDOT number to look up on FMCSA SAFER and for its cargo insurance certificate. How to prepare your car for shipping covers the wash, fuel level and personal items, and the Bill of Lading guide explains the condition report you sign at both ends.
