Galveston drivers ship vehicles for a wide range of reasons tied to the island's economy and lifestyle. Port workers, cruise travelers, and seasonal residents often need vehicles moved in and out of the area. Many relocations connect Galveston with Houston, League City, Texas City, and mainland communities, while others involve longer moves to Florida, California, or the Midwest. College students attending Texas A&M University at Galveston and maritime academy programs also create steady demand for car shipping.
The Galveston auto transport market is shaped by its coastal location and connection to the Houston metro area. While the island itself has limited carrier access points, its proximity to major transport corridors like I-45 ensures strong carrier availability. AmeriFreight Auto Transport helps Galveston residents navigate this unique market by coordinating pickups efficiently between the island and nearby mainland hubs.
Common shipping routes from Galveston move west toward California, north toward Galveston and beyond, and east along the Gulf Coast to Florida. Open transport typically ranges from $700 to $1,400 depending on distance and timing, while enclosed transport runs higher for added protection.
Estimate ranges are provided for general planning purposes. Your AmeriFreight Auto Transport agent will provide a current estimate based on your specific vehicle, dates, and destination.
Whether you're shipping out of Galveston or moving a vehicle into the area, we've got the service to match your needs.
Galveston is primarily connected via Interstate 45, which runs directly from the island to Houston, making it a critical corridor for auto transport. State Highway 87 and Broadway Avenue also play key roles in local access and routing. This direct connection to I-45 allows carriers to efficiently move vehicles between Galveston and major national shipping lanes.
