Looking for a Vehicle Transport Company Between Iowa and Texas?

Ever made the drive from Iowa to Texas? The good news is that it’s a pretty direct route on the Interstates; you can take I-35 almost the entire way with no detours. The not so good news is that it’s a very long drive; if you were to go from Sioux City to San Antonio, you’d be covering over 1000 miles. It’d be upwards of 14 hours of windshield time, and that’s if you didn’t stop for rest breaks, fuel and meals. Not many people are willing to make a 14 hour drive straight through, even in the comfort and familiarity of their own family SUV, and most people would want to break up a drive like that into two days, at least. Seeing how much of a challenge it would be in your own vehicle, now think about how it would be to handle that drive in an 80’ commercial truck that’s loaded with 8 or 9 customer vehicles in your care.

In these next few sections, we’re going to break down for you some of the steps that go into vehicle shipping and how the process works. We’ll also touch on some of the cost factors that help determine shipping rates, and we’ll talk about how you can take charge of your own car shipping order and set it up so it’s the best fit for your budget, your vehicle and your expectations.

How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Car from Iowa to Texas?

How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Car from Iowa to Texas?

The average estimated cost on auto transport between Iowa to Texas is $1199 - $1399. Of course everyone wants to know the answer to this question when they’re thinking about setting up vehicle transport. The truth is, though, that there’s not one easy and clean answer for a question like that. There are too many variables that have to be taken into consideration when it’s time to do cost calculations and come up with an accurate price quote. Some of those factors are just inherent and “baked in the cake” for any shipping order, and others are externalities that are out of anyone’s control. It’s also important to remember that the system that sets pricing and rates is algorithmic and semi-automated; rates can fluctuate from one week or even one day to another. In the next section, we’ll take a closer look and zero in on some of cost factors and how they shape rate structures for auto shipping.

What Factors Affect the Cost to Ship a Car From Iowa to Texas?

Here are a few of the considerations that go into quote calculations for auto shipping

Vehicle year/make/model: a pallet of shingles is a lot bigger and weighs a lot more than a washing machine, and it’s going to cost more in terms of fuel and wear and tear on the transport truck while it’s en route, as well as taking up more space that could be allocated to other cargo. By the same concept, a Chevy Tahoe is going to cost more to ship than a Fiat 500. 

Vehicle running order: is your car not in running condition? We can and do ship inoperable vehicles, such as a project car that’s being restored and has to go to some other part of the country to be serviced by a specialty mechanic. Shipping cars that can’t start, run and drive under their own power means special equipment and procedures on the part of the transport driver, and will come at extra cost. 

Transport service: to stay responsive to customer needs, SGT offers a few different transport options for differing levels of security, monitoring and protection for the vehicle. Those transport options all come in at different price points. 

Routing: it’s less expensive to ship vehicles from one city to another than to or from remote small towns or rural areas. Why? The Interstate highway system was designed to efficiently connect major population areas in a streamlined way, but they bypass most small towns. If a driver has to leave the main route for many hours on state or county roads, that will mean a higher shipping bill. 

imeframe: while we ask for 2 weeks advance notice to line up all the details for a car shipping order, we know that kind of lead time isn’t always possible and customers sometimes need vehicles shipped on short notice. Expedited delivery is available for hotshot orders, but it will come at a premium cost. 

Calendar period: the auto transport business is cyclical, and there are a few times a year when we experience a heavier workload and more transport trucks on the road handling customer orders. When fewer drivers are available to take on new orders and loads, the supply/demand equation will bend rates upward temporarily until things slow down again. 

Cost/mile: this is always the basic calculation for every shipping company’s rates, and all of the above (and more) go into determining cost/mile. The good news is that the more miles are involved, the lower cost/mile gets, making cross country auto transport a pretty solid value.

How long does it take to Ship a Car from Iowa to Texas?

Considering the enormous size of Texas, let’s go with our above Sioux City-to-San Antonio example. As noted above, that’s a drive of a little over 1000 miles on I-35. Our guidelines for transport drivers estimate that a delivery that has to cover 200 miles should be doable in a single day. If the driver has a 2000 mile run, we generally consider that to be an 8 to 9 day turnaround. 

 

With that in mind, we can estimate that Sioux City to San Antonio could take 4 to 5 days at most to complete. Do bear in mind, though, that shipping times are always going to be estimates and not hard guarantees. Things like bad weather, road conditions, detours, construction or heavy traffic can all slow a truck down, and of course all routing calculations have to be in compliance with DOT hours of service regulations for drivers. If it does look like your delivery is going to be delayed, you’ll be notified by the support team at SGT and we’ll keep you updated on the new ETA.

How much does car transport Between Texas and Iowa cost?

How long does it take to Ship a Car from Iowa to Texas?

We like to think there are plenty of reasons to pick SGT Auto Transport for your vehicle shipping needs:

Considering how big Iowa and Texas both are (Texas is bigger than France, Poland or Germany in terms of land mass!), let’s narrow this down by discussing transport from Bozeman to Austin, dead in the middle of the state. 

Routing shows there to be about 1600 miles of highway to cover between these two points.

Our formula for shipping schedules says that a 200 mile shipment should be doable in a single day. 

If a driver has to cover 2000 miles, that is considered to be an 8 to 9 day turnaround, so we could figure that 1600 miles should take 6 to 7 days to complete (roughly).

Please remember, though, that there are a lot of things that can interfere with a shipping schedule.

Just like if you were on a vacation road trip, bad weather, road conditions, detours, construction and heavy traffic can disrupt the best plans and push up an ETA.

If that does happen the customer support team at SGT will reach out to inform you of what’s going on, and keep you updated on when you can expect to see the driver and your vehicle at the destination point.

Next Step

At the predetermined time and date that you give us, we’ll dispatch a transport driver to arrive curbside at your address, to load up and secure your vehicle for transport. You will get a heads-up call about two hours before the driver’s arrival (also at time of delivery). You and the driver will also perform a quick inspection of your car’s condition, for the Bill of Lading document. It’s suggested that you take a few pictures as well to document your inspection.

Next Step

We’ll give you a best estimate of ETA and the driver will arrive at your destination then to unload your vehicle. You will both do a post-trip inspection, and you’ll be asked to sign the Bill of Lading. If you chose discount shipping with balance due on delivery, you can settle up on the outstanding amount directly with the driver. Cash, major credit cards, Venmo, Zelle or PayPal are all accepted.

Useful Tips for Car Shipping from and to Iowa to Texas

Let us help make your move a pleasurable experience


 

Top 7 hints for transporting/moving to this state

Enclosed shipping is recommended for vehicles with very low ground clearance: lowriders, supercars, exotics, sports cars

It’s advisable to ship vehicles with less than ¼ tank of gas, cutting curb weight and saving on shipping costs

If you live on a crowded, congested urban street, consider meeting your transport driver at an easier and more accessible spot, such as an open parking lot

It’s acceptable to ship up to 100 lbs of personal items with your car, secured in the trunk or cargo area 

Please check for fluid leaks - motor oil, coolant, power steering, transmission or brake fluid. A driver can refuse to load a vehicle with fluid leaks. 

Please check carefully for any motor oil, coolant, transmission, brake or power steering fluid leaks – a transport driver might refuse to load a vehicle with fluid leaks.

If your car’s not in running order, please let us know ahead of time. We can and do ship vehicles that can’t start, run, steer and stop on their own power, but it requires special arrangements, extra equipment and extra time on the part of the transport driver.
