Shipping a car from Montana to Texas
We do a fair amount of Montana to Texas auto transports. The bulk of our transports originate from the major cities in Montana – Billings, Bozeman, or Missoula – and they go to all areas throughout the state of Texas. Many of them go to Dallas and Austin but we’ve done transports to smaller cities such as Lubbock and Amarillo too. As a door-to-door auto transporter, we’ll pick a car up from any location in Montana and deliver it to any location in Texas!
The main shipping corridor from Montana to Texas is I-90/I-25/I-70/US-287. That shipping corridor is busy because carriers will travel through Casper, WY, Fort Collins, CO, and Denver, CO. These are all major shipping destinations for carriers to pick up and deliver cars along the way! If a carrier needs to swing east over to Kansas and Oklahoma on the way down to Texas, they will take the I-90/I-25/I-70/I-35 corridor from Montana to Texas. If the route is from Montana to El Paso, TX, carriers will usually take the I-90/I-25 corridor.
Shipping from Montana to Texas is a popular route all year long given the great weather Texas enjoys all year long. The demand for this transport route tends to go up in late fall as people head south to escape the cold and harsh Montana winters. In contrast, transports slow down going the opposite direction (Texas to Montana) during the winter months. Get an instant quote on your Montana to Texas transport today!

Montana Car Shipping
Shipping cars in and out of Montana is challenging for a couple reasons. First, take a look at the landscape of the state. The east side of the state is comprised of the Great Plains with sparsely populated towns and cities. Heading west from the Great Plains you run into the Rocky Mountains, and then you have the Cabinet Mountains and the Bitterroot Range in the west. Second, consider Montana’s weather. It has some of the harshest and longest winters in the country. You combine Montana’s challenging landscape and its weather, and you can understand why shipping cars to and from the state isn’t exactly a walk in the park.
The best car shipping locations in Montana are along the I-90 corridor from Billings to Bozeman, but most of the other cities along I-90, even up to Missoula aren't bad.
Other solid car shipping locations include those along I-15 from Helena down to the I-15 and I-90 junction.
Finally, those locations along I-94 from Billings to the North Dakota border are decent car shipping locations. This is a 250-mile trucking corridor that is heavily traveled by car carriers so locations along it such as Miles City and Glendive are all good locations to ship cars to or from.
The challenging car shipping locations in Montana are those locations 50 miles or more north or south of I-90 and I-94. The further away you get from those interstates, the more challenging the car shipments will be, meaning they will cost more money and will take more time to complete.
Other challenging car shipping locations in the state include those locations north of Helena and south of Dillon on I-15.
We are strategically based in Billings, MT. The two major trucking corridors in the state join and divide here, I-90 and I-94, so it is an ideal hub for car shipments to and from Montana. For the convenience of our customers, we provide free secured terminal shipping in Billings for pick ups and drop offs if needed.

Texas Car Shipping
Texas is the second most populated state in the country with over 29 million people spread out over 268,596 square miles! To say there is a demand for car shipping services in Texas is an understatement. The fastest and cheapest transports are going to be to and from the heavily populated cities of Fort Worth, Dallas, Arlington, Austin, San Antonio, and Houston. If you look at these cities on the map, they form a triangle. If you stay in that triangle, you'll be in great shape when shipping a car to or from Texas!
Other solid car shipping locations in the state are those cities along I-20, which is a major trucking corridor into the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex. Those cities include Odessa, Midland, and Abilene. These are all good car shipping locations in Texas.
As we look at the challenging car shipping locations in Texas, let's start with the least challenging. El Paso on the far western edge of the state, and Lubbock and Amarillo up in the panhandle, can all be challenging at times depending on the location of the other side of the transport route. We don't do a lot of transports to or from these locations, but when they do come up, they usually aren't too challenging but sometimes they can be. In short, these aren't the best locations, but they certainly aren't the worst either.
The most challenging car shipping locations in Texas are going to be those locations south of the I-10 corridor, especially those locations near the Texas/Mexico border. Those locations south of I-10 are the least travelled parts of the state for car carriers, especially the further south you get. These transports always take more time and money compared to other parts of the state. While certain carriers do run south of I-10 down into Corpus Christi and even further south along the Gulf Coast on the eastern side of Texas, there just aren't that many that do.
