Frequently Asked Questions
How much does New Mexico to Texas auto transport cost?
Most New Mexico to Texas shipments cost $500–$1,000, depending on distance, vehicle size, carrier type, and pickup timing. Shorter border-state routes stay on the lower end, while enclosed transport or oversized vehicles increase pricing. Seasonal demand along I-10 and I-40 can shift rates slightly. For a detailed cost breakdown, see our car shipping cost guide.
How long does it take to ship a car from New Mexico to Texas?
Transit times usually run 2–4 days for common routes such as Albuquerque to Dallas or Las Cruces to San Antonio. Timing varies with distance, weather across West Texas, carrier availability, and whether service is door-to-door. Rural pickups in southeastern New Mexico may require an additional day.
What is the safest way to move a vehicle from New Mexico to Texas?
Open transport is safe for most vehicles, but enclosed carriers offer added protection from dust, heat, and storm activity common around the Permian Basin. Enclosed service is recommended for high-value vehicles or low-clearance sports cars. More details can be found at our enclosed auto transport guide.
Will weather or road conditions affect New Mexico to Texas delivery timing?
Yes. High winds around Clines Corners, heavy rain in Central Texas, or dust storms along I-10 can slow carrier speeds. These conditions are most common in spring and late summer. Carriers monitor DOT updates and adjust routing to keep delivery within the 2–4-day window when possible.
Do I need to prepare my car differently for a New Mexico to Texas shipment?
Basic preparation includes washing the vehicle, removing personal items, checking tire pressure, and securing loose parts. New Mexico’s desert climate often leaves fine dust on vehicles, so a clean exterior helps during your pickup inspection. If your car does not run, carriers may need special equipment. More information is available at our inoperable auto transport guide.
What happens if my car is damaged during transport between New Mexico and Texas?
Licensed carriers must carry FMCSA-regulated liability coverage. You will inspect the vehicle at pickup and again upon delivery in Texas. If new damage is found, note it on the Bill of Lading and file a claim directly with the carrier. A1 Auto Transport assists customers with documentation so the process moves quickly.
