Timing
When to Ship Oregon to Texas
Mountain passes and Gulf weather set the timing.
Columbia River Gorge
Ice storms and high wind in the Gorge can close I-84 for a day in winter.
Raton Pass
Snow on I-25 over Raton Pass can hold a truck a day in winter.
Gulf Hurricane Season
From June through November, a storm can delay deliveries in Houston, Freeport, and along the coast.
Dallas and Houston Traffic
Rush hour on I-35E, I-45, and I-610 can add hours. Drivers time deliveries around it.
Pricing
How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Car From Oregon to Texas?
Here's what decides the price on a trip to Texas.
North Texas vs. the Coast
Dallas comes first. Houston adds about 240 miles, and Freeport about 300.
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.
Distance
At roughly 1,950 to 2,400 miles, this is a true cross-country haul.
Pickup Location
Bend is closest via US-20 to Boise. Portland adds about 110 miles.
Open or Enclosed
Enclosed keeps road grime off a nicer car.
Lead Time
Two to three weeks of notice gives us the best shot at your date.

Before You Ship & After You Arrive
What to know before your car heads to Texas.
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.
Texas Suburbs
Master-planned communities around Dallas, Austin, and Houston often restrict big trucks. The driver will meet you at the entrance or a nearby lot.
Bend and Central Oregon Pickups
Bend, Redmond, and Sisters are reached on US-97 and US-20 over the Cascades. Winter snow on the passes and gravel roads outside town usually mean meeting in town or near the highway.
