Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Alexandria to Arlington, Texas

Shipping a car from Virginia to Texas generally costs $1,000 to $1,500 for open transport, but can range from $1,035 to over $1,700, depending on carrier choice (open vs. enclosed), vehicle size, time of year, fuel prices, and booking time, with enclosed carriers costing significantly more. Expect prices around $0.50-$1.00+ per mile, with longer distances decreasing per-mile rates.

Budget: The shorter the distance, the more cost-effective it is to drive instead of ship your car. Regardless of the total distance, look at your total moving budget and how much you can afford to spend on car shipping services compared to a cross-country drive.

Shipping your car via train is the cheapest way to do cross-country car shipping, although this is limited only to certain areas.
