Atlanta Car Shipping Services
Open Auto Transport
Open transport is the standard, most affordable way to ship a vehicle. Your car rides on an
exposed multi-car carrier alongside other vehicles. With Austin's position on I-35 and rapid
growth, open transport here is well-served and competitively priced.
Enclosed Auto Transport
For luxury vehicles, classics, or anything high-value coming out of Westlake, Tarrytown, or the
broader metro, enclosed transport offers a fully covered trailer with complete protection.
Door-to-Door Car Shipping
We pick up and deliver at your address in most Austin-area locations. Round Rock, Cedar Park,
Pflugerville, and the broader metro are all generally accessible for standard carriers. Some Hill
Country properties with longer or gated driveways may require brief coordination.
Expedited Car Shipping
Need fast service? Our expedited option moves pickup to within 24 to 48 hours. Especially
useful for tech industry job start dates.
Tech Industry Relocation Transport
Austin's tech boom has made it one of the top relocation destinations in the country. We work
with tech professionals and companies on employee relocation vehicle logistics regularly.
Classic and Collector Car Shipping
Austin has a growing collector car scene. We ship vintage and high-value vehicles using
enclosed transport with careful handling.

Shipping a Car In and Around Austin
Austin, Round Rock, Cedar Park, Pflugerville, and the broader metro all have suburban-style
layouts that make carrier access straightforward in most neighborhoods. Downtown Austin and
areas near the University of Texas campus, while busier, still offer reasonable carrier access
compared to denser cities.

Preparing Your Car for Shipping in Austin
• Wash the car so existing scratches and dings are easy to document
• Take photos of all four sides of the vehicle before the driver arrives
• Remove all personal items from the interior and trunk
• Leave about a quarter tank of fuel
• Disable any TxTag toll transponders to avoid charges during transport
• Confirm the car starts and runs, or let us know in advance if it doesn't
• Fold in side mirrors and retract antennas where possible
• Review and sign the Bill of Lading carefully, noting any pre-existing damage

Yes. Every carrier in our network carries cargo insurance as required by the FMCSA. We
recommend photographing your vehicle before pickup.
