The route
Energy corridor to the Capitol.
About 165 miles via I-10, TX-71, or US-290 — typically a same-day or next-day move door to door.
The Houston-to-Austin run is one of the busiest car-hauling corridors in Texas. On one end sits the energy capital — refineries, engineering firms, and the Port of Houston feeding a constant stream of relocations. On the other sits the state capital: UT Austin, the tech sector, and state government. People, and their cars, flow between the two every single week.
Our primary path runs west out of Houston on I-10 to Sealy, then northwest on TX-71 through Columbus, La Grange, and Bastrop into Austin. When traffic or timing favors it, we run US-290 through Brenham and drop south on TX-71 instead. Either way it is roughly 165 miles and about two and a half to three hours of road time — morning pickup in Houston, afternoon delivery in Austin is routine, with a pickup window that respects your day.

Who uses this lane
Built for how Texas actually moves.
Four kinds of customers keep this lane busy — and we are set up for all of them.
Auction & online pickups
Win a Houston-area auction bid or buy from a Houston seller online? We collect from the gate or the lot and deliver to your Austin driveway — no need to drive in and fetch it yourself.
Energy & UT relocations
Engineers transferring to Austin offices, UT Austin students and faculty arriving for the semester, and families following a job change — one call covers the car while you handle everything else.
Multi-car household moves
Relocating with two vehicles and only one driver? We load both — or the second car while you drive the first. Families moving between the metros use this option constantly.
Pickup & delivery
Simple, from first call to keys in hand.
No dispatch maze, no tracking portals that go dark. Here is exactly how your Houston-to-Austin move works.
01
Book in one call
Call or text (480) 565-0434 with the addresses and the vehicle. Your $250 flat rate locks on that call — not estimated, not “starting at.”
02
Driver calls ahead
On pickup day the driver calls before arriving and meets you somewhere a 9-car carrier can safely maneuver — your driveway, a nearby lot, or the dealership. UT students: we coordinate with whoever is handing over the keys.
03
Walkaround & bill of lading
We walk the vehicle together, note every existing mark, and both sign the bill of lading. The same document travels with the car to Austin, where delivery is confirmed the same way.
Flat-rate pricing
One price. No surprises.
The Houston-to-Austin lane is flat-rated. Know your price before the truck ever rolls — it does not change with fuel prices, the day of the week, or how busy the season is.
Sedan / small car
The flat rate for standard cars on this lane, locked before we roll. Same price in both directions.
SUV / crossover
Sedans ride at $250; SUVs and crossovers add $50 for the extra deck space they take.
Oversized truck / van
Full-size pickups, large vans and duallys add $100 on this lane.
Inoperable vehicle
Doesn't start or won't roll under its own power? We winch it on for a $150 add-on.
Open transport, per vehicle. The price we quote on the phone is the price you pay at delivery. No Call Centers. No Waiting. — just the driver who runs the lane.
On the road
Our trucks, our lane.
Real trucks on a real lane. These are our carriers working Texas corridors like the one your vehicle will travel.
Lane FAQs
Questions we hear on this lane
I’m a UT Austin student and I haven’t arrived yet. Can you still ship my car?
Yes — it happens every semester. A parent, roommate, or friend hands over the keys in Houston, and your named contact receives the car in Austin. We confirm both by text before pickup.
I live in Katy. Is pickup still $250?
Yes. Katy is our home base, so pickups there are the easiest loads we run. The $250 sedan flat rate covers the full Houston-to-Austin lane, corridor towns included — no zone surcharges, no “mileage adjustments.”
How far ahead do I need to book?
A few days’ notice is usually plenty on this lane — same-week moves are routine. During peak moving months — May, June, and August — a week’s notice gets you the pickup day you want.
My car doesn’t run. Can you still haul it from Houston to Austin?
Yes. Inoperable vehicles ride for a $150 add-on covering winch loading. The car must steer and roll — tell us its condition when you book so we arrive set up for it.

Running the reverse direction, or headed south to San Antonio instead? Every core lane carries the same $250 flat rate and the same driver-owned standard. Back at Texas auto transport you can price any other Texas route — core lanes stay flat, and the same driver-owned standard applies statewide.
