Car Shipping Texas

At SGT Auto Transport, we’ve been in this business for over a decade and have served over 70,000 customers, delivering 100,000 vehicles along the way. 

We’ve put together a dedicated team of 25,000 transport drivers around the country, all carefully handpicked for their professionalism and vetted for the proper licensing, documentation, permits and registrations. 

That’s been a formula for success, but it’s more than just that; we all have a customer-first approach that’s foundational to everything we do.

We want our customers to feel that they’re partnered with us as we work on auto logistics solutions for them;

 if there’s one thing people love, it’s feeling respected and valued, and that’s what we strive for on every transaction.

Open car transport: this is by far the most popular and budget-friendly way to go. With open car transport, your car is loaded onto an open double-decker trailer along with several others for streamlined routing. It does leave your car exposed to weather and possibly road grit, but it’s affordable and efficient. 

Enclosed car transport: if you’ve got a rare, high-dollar or vintage car, you might need a little extra protection and security. Enclosed car transport is the solution: your car is loaded into a closed trailer, protected on all sides, and then locked in for its trip. Enclosed car transport is recommended for sports cars and exotics with low ground clearance. Enclosed car transport does come at enhanced cost. 

Guaranteed pickup service: we respect your time, and with guaranteed pickup service you have our assurance that your transport driver will be at your address at a specified time and date to get your car on its way. 

Express delivery: while it’s always best if we can have a couple of weeks lead time to prepare your shipment plans, we know that’s not always possible and we offer express delivery for last-minute arrangements. 

Cross country auto transport: cost/mile is always a big part of the calculations for any long distance logistics, and more miles means more money. The good news is that at SGT, cost/mile drops on very long runs, making cross country shipping a great value. 

Express car shipping: there are a lot of details to sort out when arranging anyone’s auto logistics, which is why we ask for a couple of weeks’ lead time before your preferred date. That’s not always possible, though, and that’s why we also offer express car shipping for last-minute arrangements. 

Try to make sure there’s less than a quarter tank of gas in your car. Curb weight figures into the equation for shipping costs, and fuel weighs about 6 lb per gallon; less fuel means less weight and lower shipping charges. 

In an urban or suburban area with congested streets, it could be difficult, impossible or even illegal to get a commercial transport truck to your address. If that’s the case, think about a more neutral spot for pickup, such as an open parking lot. 

Please check your vehicle for leaks: coolant, motor oil, transmission, brake or power steering fluid.

Please be sure your headlights and taillights work, all four tires are inflated, and the battery is fully charged. 

Please remove any external accessories that are detachable, such as rooftop cargo boxes, bike racks, antennas or ground effects. 

Don’t forget your driver will need a copy of the car’s ignition key. 

It’s a good idea to give your car a wash job first; it’s easier to spot any minor dings or scrapes when you do the pre-trip inspection of the vehicle (the driver will do the same for his Bill of Lading records).

Weather conditions in Texas vary considerably, depending on where you live. The weather ranges from humid to dry and from moderate to extreme. Generally, the summers are hot, with temperatures around the mid to upper 90s. In the winter, temperatures average around the mid-60s, but there are occasional drops when a cold front comes through the state.

Texas is one of only seven states where residents pay no state income tax. The state sales tax is also comparably low. There are also several tax incentives for businesses.

Texas has a deregulated electricity market which means you can choose your energy supplier. You’re also free to change your provider if you can find a better price.

Otherwise known as the Lone Star State, Texas is spread out geographically. This makes getting around a challenge, particularly when you face a lack of public transportation. And Texas is undoubtedly car country. 

Unless you live within a 3-4 mile radius of your workplace, you’ll spend a lot of time commuting. And in most areas, the traffic is considerable. Unfortunately, the roads and infrastructure development have not kept pace with the growing population.

Texas has a robust job market that’s been able to sustain the population increase of 12.6%. The state is strong in the petroleum, wind energy, healthcare, education, and technology sectors.
