Kansas to Texas Auto Transport
Shipping a Car From Kansas to Texas
Wichita to Dallas is about 365 miles, straight down I-35. Fort Worth is about the same, Austin is closer to 550, and Houston is around 610. From Overland Park, Dallas is about 500. Most moves are one long day or two easy ones.
We're a Texas-based broker, and Kansas to Texas is one of our busiest lanes. Textron builds Cessna and Beechcraft planes in Wichita and Bell helicopters in Fort Worth, so aviation staff move between them, and Wichita-based Koch runs a big refinery in Corpus Christi. Texas also draws Kansas families with booming job markets. And we can store your vehicle at our lot in Freeport, Texas, and get it ready to go to Port Freeport if it's being shipped overseas.

The Route
How Cars Get From Kansas to Texas
Nearly every load rides I-35 south through Oklahoma City into Dallas–Fort Worth, then on to Austin and San Antonio. Houston is reached on I-45 from Dallas, and Freeport and Port Freeport are about an hour south of Houston on TX-288.
Corpus Christi is reached from San Antonio on I-37. Kansas City pickups join I-35 right in town.
Along the Way
- Wichita → Oklahoma City~160 mi
- Oklahoma City → Dallas~205 mi
- Dallas → Houston~240 mi
Approximate distances. The exact route depends on the carrier's other stops.
Timing
When to Ship Kansas to Texas
Plains storms and Gulf weather both play a part.
Spring Storms
March through June brings hail and tornado warnings along I-35. Drivers wait out the worst of it.
Hurricane Season
June through November can affect Houston, Freeport, and Corpus Christi. Keep a little slack for coastal deliveries.
Summer Moving Season
June through August is busiest for relocations to DFW and Austin. Book a week or two ahead.
Winter Ice
An ice storm in Kansas or Oklahoma can push a pickup back a day.
Pricing
How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Car From Kansas to Texas?
Here's what moves the price between Kansas and Texas.
Distance
Dallas–Fort Worth is about 365 miles from Wichita. Houston and Austin are closer to 550 to 610.
A Busy Lane
I-35 is one of the busiest truck corridors in the country, which keeps prices competitive.
Delivery Area
Major metros are easy. The Rio Grande Valley and rural West Texas take more planning.
Open or Enclosed
Open is the standard. Enclosed keeps hail and heat off a nicer car.
Vehicle Size
Pickups and full-size SUVs take more trailer space than sedans, so they cost more to ship.
Storage or Port Prep
Need your car held at our Freeport lot before it ships out of Port Freeport? We'll quote the storage along with the transport.
Your Quote Is Your Final Price
We know Texas routes well, and we price them to move. What we quote is what you pay, with $0 due at booking.

Before You Ship & After You Arrive
A few Texas-specific things worth knowing.
Registering in Texas
New residents have 30 days to register with their county tax office. Texas ended safety inspections for most passenger vehicles in 2025, but emissions testing still applies in the major metro counties. Check txdmv.gov for current requirements.
Vehicle Storage & Port Freeport
Need somewhere to keep your car, or shipping it overseas? We can store vehicles at our lot in Freeport, Texas, and get them ready to go to Port Freeport to be shipped.
Aviation and Energy Moves
Moving between Wichita and Fort Worth for an aviation job, or to a Corpus Christi refinery? We'll time the delivery to your start date.
Kansas Pickups
HOA truck rules in Overland Park, Olathe, and Leawood subdivisions, game-day traffic in Lawrence and Manhattan, tight older streets in Wichita's College Hill and Riverside, and long gravel section roads out west can keep a big carrier off your street. If so, the driver will set up a nearby meeting spot, usually a lot just off I-35, I-70, I-135, I-435, or the Kansas Turnpike.
