Louisiana Car Shipping

Looking to ship a car to or from Louisiana? There are two trucking corridors you'll want to stick to for the quickest and cheapest car shipments to or from the state. There are also a couple areas of Louisiana that you'll want to avoid. Let's take a look at the best car shipping locations in Louisiana first.

The best car shipping locations in Louisiana are going to be those locations along the I-10/I-12 corridor. This west/east trucking route runs through the whole state and gives car carriers the option to dip down into New Orleans on I-10 or skip the city and stay on I-12 to keep traveling eastward or westward. Along with New Orleans, this corridor passes through Baton Rouge and Lafayette. All of these locations are great car shipping locations in the state.

Other friendly car shipping locations in Louisiana, especially if you are shipping a car north from southern Louisiana, are those locations along the I-49 trucking corridor. I-49 connects Lafayette in the southern part of the state with the cities of Alexandria and Shreveport heading north in the state.

Now let's look at the more challenging car shipping locations in Louisiana. By challenging we mean auto transports from these locations will take more time and more money to complete because car carriers aren't traveling to or from these locations frequently. These are areas that are considered "out of the way" for car carriers.

With the exception of those locations along I-49, anything 100 miles north of I-10 are going to be challenging. Any location near the border of Louisiana and Texas is going to be challenging as it's considered a "dead zone." The northeast area of the state that borders Mississippi is also a very tough car shipping area because it is sparely populated.

Finally, any location on or near the Gulf of Mexico is going to be a challenge. If you're shipping a car to or from any location on or near the Gulf Coast, your best bet will be to meet a car carrier somewhere along the I-10/I-12 corridor if you can.
