Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from San Antonio, Texas to Dayton, Ohio

Shipping a car from Texas to Ohio generally costs $700 to $1,400, depending on factors like carrier (open is cheaper), location, seasonality, and vehicle size, with averages often falling around $900-$1000 for open transport, taking 3-8 days. Expect closer to the higher end for enclosed carriers or during peak times and lower if booked in advance and on busy routes (like Dallas to Columbus).

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.

If you need to ship your car to the other side of the country – train shipping will be more economical. If you need fast delivery right to your place – shipping by truck will be your best option.
