The best ways and methods to ship a car to or from Dallas, TX
While there are a few different options available for shipping, our preferred and recommended method is enclosed car transport. Enclosed car transport is especially well-suited for rare, valuable or vintage vehicles; your vehicle is loaded into a closed trailer for the trip, where it will be locked in and protected on all four sides the entire way. If you’ve got a time-sensitive shipping task for us, or if you need to make arrangements at the last minute, we do offer express transport services or guaranteed pick-up, both of which can help expedite your shipping job.

How long does it take to transport a car to and from Dallas, TX?
Think about how many different routes a driver can take to or from any major city. When shipping a vehicle to or from Dallas, drivers are always going to opt for the most efficient path, although road conditions, weather and traffic can have an influence on shipping time frames. As noted above, if the distance to the vehicle’s destination is 200 miles or less, shipping time will usually be two days. If the driver needs to cover 2,000 miles or more, shipping times can stretch out to around nine days. You can be confident, though, that regardless of circumstances, our drivers and dispatch service are going to do everything in our power to make sure your vehicle is handled safely, quickly and efficiently. Bear in mind, though, that the auto shipping business can be seasonal and there are certain times of the year that will usually see a surge in shipping activity.

Having my sister's experience in mind, I contacted SGT Auto Transport to ship my car from Dallas to Boston. Very similar to my sister, my experience with SGT Auto Transport was awesome. Their service was among the cheapest (price-wise) and mean time safest services.
The assigned carrier to me was "Kings Auto Carriers Inc" and the Driver/Carrier Contact person was Omar Maldonado.
My car was picked up the exact day that I asked and my car was delivered the exact day that was promised.
Thanks to all at SGT

Tips for Dallas Car Shipping Services
SGT Auto Transport has been an important cog in the auto transport industry for many years. These years of experience mean we’ve got lots of tips to share.
Dallas is a world-class city, but it’s home to some very friendly people. “Sir, “ma’am,” “Howdy!” and “y’all” are all part of the vocabulary for Dallasites, and people will generally go out of their way to be sociable and outgoing with strangers.
Dallas is a highway hub; interstates 20, 30 and 45 all converge and go to and from Dallas, along with 35E; I-35 splits into 35E to Dallas and 35W to Fort Worth, about 50 miles south in Hillsboro. Along with those interstate highways, there’s 635, 820 and 345, all of which connect the city as loops, and US highways 77, 75, 67, 80, 175 and 287 and a number of Texas state highways, tollways, ranch-to-market and farm-to-market roads.
As befits a world-class town like Dallas, there are plenty of choices when it comes to cuisine. That means not just Southern cooking and Texas barbecue, but the best in Asian, Indian, Middle Eastern, Italian, French-Continental, seafood and about everything else you can think of as well as plenty of upper-end fine-dining options.
The Texas State Fair is a perennial favorite; it’s home to the Texas Star, the largest Ferris wheel in the Western hemisphere and a full-scale auto show. Big Tex, the 55-foot-tall cowboy mascot that welcomes visitors, was burned and destroyed in 2012, but was rebuilt and restored to his former glory the following year.
Dallas is home to the largest farmer’s market in America, opened in the late 1800s.
Dallas’s arts district is home to top-notch museums like the Nasher, the Dallas Museum of Art, Booker T Washington for the Performing Arts, and One Arts Plaza, with the Kimbell museum just 40 miles away in Fort Worth.
Dallas-Fort Worth is informally known as the “snow line” in Texas; summers can be long and hot, but if a winter storm comes in, everything north of Dallas is likely to see snow, while everything south into Central Texas and on south (toward Austin and San Antonio, in other words) are probably not going to have an accumulation of snow or ice.
Prepare Your Vehicle for Auto Transportation from Dallas, TX
If you want to ensure a smooth, safe, and cost-effective auto transport process, there are some things you can do to prepare your vehicle.
Give your vehicle a thorough wash job and an interior cleaning. That will make it easier for the driver to perform a complete condition report at time of pick-up.
Detach any loose parts, accessories or personal items, including cargo carriers, bike racks, antennas or anything else that could get dislodged or lost.
To avoid any accidental charges on the way, remove any toll tags or parking tags.
Disable any alarm systems that could accidentally be tripped.
Run the gas tank down to a quarter tank or less. This will cut the vehicle’s shipping weight and will help reduce the risk or leaks or any other problems, for a safer journey.
Check for any leaks, including oil, transmission fluid, coolant or brake fluid, to avoid any safety issues or environmental concerns.
Make sure the tires are fully inflated and the battery is charged.
Leave a spare key with the driver at time of pickup
How to Save on Car Shipping in Dallas, TX
There are a couple of ways to keep costs down and trim your budget for car shipping, while still benefiting from a premium level of service and care. Try to book your auto transport job as far in advance as possible; reserving a trip a few weeks in advance is a good way to secure a better rate. Feel free to talk to one of our consultants about what times of the year would work best; rates tend to be quite a bit lower when demand is lower, while booking a rush job or hotshot is going to necessarily cost a bit more. Try to book routes to the nearest major city, as delivery to small towns that are off the beaten track will come at a higher rate. Finally, we invite you to take a look at our dedicated page while you’re on the site and see if there are any specials that you can take advantage of.
Receiving Your Vehicle in Dallas
When your vehicle makes it to its destination, there are ways to make sure that handoff goes smoothly. If at all possible, we’d prefer that you personally are present when it’s time to drop off the vehicle. With you there in person, you get a chance to go over the vehicle at the time and it gives the driver a chance to ensure that what’s documented matches what’s on the Bill of Lading.
If you can’t be there at that time, you can delegate this handoff to a friend, a neighbor or family member, as long as that person is at least 18 years of age. If you asked for the discounted price payment at the time you booked your auto transport, this is when the driver will ask you for the balance of what’s owed. Payments are accepted in cash, which can be either in the form of a cashier’s check or money order.
Examples of Cars we Shipped to and from Dallas, TX
Audi RS6 2021 Shipped to Dallas, TX ZIP: 75089
Introduced in the 00s, Audi’s RS range of crossovers is derived from the A6 family and is a top-tier performance-trim level that’s a noticeable cut or two above the “S” designation of Audi’s lineup. Packed with innovations and high-tech features, this RS6 is an exceptionally clean and well-cared-for example; its owner had some concerns when it was shipped to Dallas, but on delivery he was delighted at the outcome and the kind of care that SGT Auto Transport took to make sure the journey was glitch-free and seamless.
Subaru WRX 2015 Shipped to Dallas, TX ZIP: 75001
Fitted out with AWD, a sport suspension, high-output engine and much more, the WRX offshoot of Subaru’s Impreza lineup of sports sedans has carved out a pretty impressive reputation on the World Rally circuit. Throughout the process of shipping this WRX to Dallas, SGT checked in regularly with its owner to keep him apprised of its progress. Protected from the element and handled with kid gloves, it arrived in Dallas to its eager owner on time and on-point.
Range Rover SVR 2021 Shipped to Dallas, TX ZIP: 75202
The Range Rover SVR is a fine balance of refinement, ruggedness and performance. Shipping this SVR to Dallas was a breeze; it was fully enclosed in a car hauler trailer, and it was delivered to its owner in the same immaculate condition it was in when it was loaded into the trailer several days before.
Oldsmobile 442 1969 Shipped to Dallas, TX ZIP: 75253
Introduced in 1964, the Oldsmobile 442 designation originally meant “four-speed transmission, four-barrel carburetor and dual exhaust.” This iteration of the popular Oldsmobile Cutlass was designed for comfort as well as blistering performance, and with well over 50 years elapsed, these cars are now quite scarce indeed. Any owner of a car as special as this Oldsmobile would want to make sure his or her car got the right care when it was shipped, and the folks at SGT Auto Transport took all the steps to hold up their end of that equation. The result: a very happy owner when his 442 was dropped off in Dallas.
