Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Stockton, California to El Paso, Texas

Shipping a car from California to Texas generally costs between $800 to $1,500+, depending heavily on whether you choose cheaper open transport (around $800-$1,300) or more expensive enclosed transport ($1,200-$1,800+), plus factors like vehicle size, time of year (summer is pricier), specific cities, and current fuel costs. Expect transit times of 3-8 days for this roughly 1,400-mile trip.

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.

Selecting an open transport carrier is the cheapest way to ship your car. It costs an average of $0.93 less per mile compared to a closed carrier. Booking at least two weeks in advance can help you get the best price because it allows more drivers to bid on your job.
