Car shipping from Virginia to Texas
A steady, unglamorous lane with an unusually predictable rhythm — driven far more by military and government moves than by season.
Who ships VA to TX
Military transfers between Virginia’s naval installations and Texas bases, government and contractor relocations, and corporate moves to the Texas Triangle.
When to book, and what it costs you if you don't
Busiest in the summer PCS window when military families move between assignments. Otherwise remarkably flat year-round, which makes it easy to quote accurately months ahead.
The route your carrier actually drives
I-81 and I-40 west through Knoxville, Nashville, Memphis and Little Rock, then south into Texas. Reliable interstate the whole way with no significant weather exposure.
What moves on this corridor
Family vehicles and pickups. Military moves often involve two vehicles at once, which usually earns a better rate per car.
Cities I pick up and deliver most often
Not on the list? It makes no difference to whether I can help — these are simply the points where carriers on this lane already stop. Anywhere else is still door to door.

Shipping Virginia to Texas
- How long does it take to ship a car from Virginia to Texas?
- Plan on 4–6 days once your vehicle is loaded — it is roughly 1,350 miles, and carriers average about 500 miles a day with mandated rest stops. Add one to three business days for a carrier to be dispatched to your first available date.
- What determines the price on the Virginia to Texas route?
- Distance sets the floor, then vehicle size and weight, open versus enclosed, whether it runs, and how flexible your dates are. Busiest in the summer PCS window when military families move between assignments. Otherwise remarkably flat year-round, which makes it easy to quote accurately months ahead. I quote what the lane is actually paying carriers, so the number does not move after you book.
- Which cities do you cover on this route?
- Pickup anywhere in Virginia including Norfolk and Virginia Beach, and delivery anywhere in Texas including Dallas and Houston. Rural addresses are fine — if an 80-foot rig cannot legally reach the street, we agree on a nearby lot, usually a few minutes away, at no change to your price.
- Do I have to pay before my car is picked up?
- No. Nothing is charged when you book. A deposit is only taken once a licensed carrier is assigned to your Virginia pickup with a confirmed date, and the balance goes to the driver at delivery in Texas.
