About Shipping in Austin
Austin, Texas is one of the fastest-growing cities in the United States, serving as both the state capital and a booming technology hub. Massive population influx has made Austin one of the highest-demand vehicle shipping markets in the country. The city's position on the I-35 corridor connects it efficiently to Dallas, San Antonio, and beyond.
I-35 is the primary carrier route but experiences severe congestion through central Austin. Rapid population growth means high demand and generally favorable carrier pricing. Flash flooding during heavy rain events can temporarily disrupt local transport schedules.

RV Shipping FAQ — Austin
Common questions about shipping rvs in the Austin area.
How much does it cost to ship an RV?
RV shipping costs typically range from $1,000 to $5,000+ depending on the RV type, size, distance, and transport method. Towable units on shorter routes start around $1,000-$2,000, while large Class A motorhomes on cross-country moves can cost $3,000-$5,000 or more. Drive-away service is often the most cost-effective option for drivable RVs.
How long does RV shipping take?
Transit times depend on distance and transport method. Regional moves (under 500 miles) typically take 3-5 days, mid-range routes average 5-8 days, and cross-country transport usually takes 8-14 days. Drive-away service may be faster since it doesn't require carrier scheduling.
Is my RV insured during shipping?
Yes, every RV shipment includes comprehensive cargo insurance. For drive-away service, our drivers carry full liability coverage. We recommend documenting your RV's condition with interior and exterior photos before pickup. Supplemental coverage is available for high-value units.
What types of RVs can you ship?
We transport all types of RVs including Class A, B, and C motorhomes, travel trailers, fifth wheels, toy haulers, pop-up campers, and truck campers. Our carrier network includes specialists for every RV category and size.
Should I choose drive-away or tow-away service?
Drive-away is ideal for drivable motorhomes and is often more affordable for long distances. Tow-away is required for travel trailers and fifth wheels, and is also a good option if you prefer your motorhome not to accumulate road miles. We'll recommend the best option based on your RV type and route.
