Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Nashville, Tennessee to El Paso, Texas

Car shipping from Tennessee to Texas — a 916-mile trip — generally costs $804 to $1,209. Factors like distance, timing, and fuel all influence the quote. See our pricing resource for details. To get the best price, try to book in advance and compare multiple quotes.

Driving is usually cheaper for shorter distances, but shipping can become comparable or even better for very long trips when factoring in hidden driving costs like hotels, food, tolls, and significant wear & tear/depreciation, especially if you value your time or have an unreliable car. The cost-benefit ratio shifts with distance, so compare actual quotes for shipping versus estimated expenses for gas, lodging, tolls, food, and lost time/value if driving yourself.

The cheapest way to ship a car to another state is by using an open transport carrier, which hauls your vehicle on a large, multi-car trailer exposed to the elements, similar to how you'd see them on highways. To save even more, choose terminal-to-terminal service, book during the off-season, be flexible with dates, and get multiple quotes from companies like Montway or uShip, as this spreads costs and reduces carrier time.
