What Is the Least Expensive Way to Transport a Vehicle?
Shipping your vehicle from Texas to Washington does not have to be a bank-breaking endeavor, as there are different methods available that suit whatever needs or budgetary constraints you may have.
- Open carrier auto transport is the most affordable shipping method between States. The only problem with this method is that it involves loading your vehicle on an open carrier, which can expose your car.
- Enclosed or covered shipping auto transport is a much safer option as it protects your car from external conditions or issues. But compared to the open carrier method, the enclosed option is far more expensive.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Texas to Washington auto transport cost?
Texas to Washington auto transport typically costs between $900 and $1,500 for standard sedans on open carriers. Pricing is influenced by distance (2,000+ miles), vehicle size, carrier type, season, and pickup location. Major metros like Dallas, Houston, Seattle, and Spokane are more competitive than rural areas. Enclosed carriers cost 30–50% more. For detailed pricing factors, see our car shipping rates guide.
How long does it take to ship a car from Texas to Washington state?
Most Texas to Washington state shipments take 4 to 7 days in transit. The timeline depends on exact pickup city, carrier schedule, weather, and mountain pass conditions entering Washington. Routes from Houston or Dallas to Seattle move faster than rural-to-rural deliveries. Expedited options can reduce pickup time but increase cost. Peak summer and snow season in the Pacific Northwest can add minor delays.
What is the cheapest way to ship a car from Texas to Washington?
The cheapest option is open auto transport with flexible pickup dates. Open carriers move multiple vehicles at once, lowering per-car costs. Booking at least 1 to 2 weeks in advance and shipping between major cities like Dallas to Seattle also reduces pricing. Avoid peak relocation months if possible. Learn more about open carrier benefits in our open trailer auto transport guide.
Is enclosed car shipping worth it for Texas to Washington car shipping?
Enclosed transport is worth it for luxury, exotic, classic, or high-value vehicles needing added protection from road debris and weather. The Texas to Washington route crosses desert heat, mountain elevations, and rainy Northwest conditions. Enclosed carriers provide lift-gate loading and limited-capacity transport, reducing exposure risks. Expect pricing to run 30 to 50 percent higher than open shipping. See when protection makes sense in our enclosed auto transport overview.
How do I prepare my car for shipping from Texas to Washington?
Start by washing the vehicle and documenting its condition with photos. Remove personal belongings, leave about one-quarter tank of fuel, and check for fluid leaks. Disable alarms and ensure the battery is secure. Texas heat can stress cooling systems, so confirm there are no active warning lights. Carriers regulated by FMCSA require operable brakes and steering for loading.
Can I ship a non-running car from Texas to Washington?
Yes, non-operational vehicles can be transported, but they require winch-equipped carriers and additional labor. Expect costs to increase $150 to $400 depending on weight and accessibility. The vehicle must roll, steer, and brake unless special equipment is arranged. Rural pickups in parts of Washington may require transfer to smaller trucks.
