Car Shipping & Auto Transport in Austin, TX

Shipping a car comes down to two questions: will it arrive on time, and will it arrive in the condition it left in. Texas Hot Shot Trucking & Freight handles car shipping and auto transport in and out of Austin with a straight answer to both. We move vehicles for people relocating, buying and selling across state lines, sending a car to a student, or shipping a specialty vehicle that deserves careful handling.

Door-to-Door Auto Transport

Most of our car shipping is door to door, which means we pick up and deliver as close to your addresses as the truck can safely and legally get. It saves you a trip to a terminal and keeps the vehicle in our hands from start to finish. For customers who prefer a central meeting point, terminal-to-terminal pickup is available too. Either way, the driver inspects and documents the vehicle at both ends, so condition is on record.

Open vs. Enclosed Shipping

The right choice depends on the vehicle. Open transport is what most cars ship on. It is the most cost-effective option and the same method dealerships and manufacturers use every day. Enclosed transport adds a hard barrier against road debris and weather, which is worth it for classics, exotics, low-clearance builds, and anything you would not want exposed on a long run.

• Open transport for standard cars, trucks, and SUVs at the best rate.
• Enclosed transport for high-value, collectible, and low-clearance vehicles.
• Single or multiple vehicles, shipped locally around Austin or long distance across the country.

Handled With Care, Start to Finish

At Texas Hot Shot Trucking & Freight, vehicles are loaded by vetted CDL drivers, secured with soft ties or wheel straps depending on the vehicle, and kept on one truck for the whole route so nothing gets shuffled between carriers. Dispatch runs 24/7, and we quote the job up front so you know the cost before the wheels turn. If you head to a warmer state for the winter, our snowbird car transportation service handles the seasonal round trip, and dealers moving inventory can use our dealership transportation service.
