Bold Auto Transport provides door-to-door car shipping service in Dallas, Texas. Our professionals ensure your vehicle is picked up from your home or business in the Dallas–Fort Worth area and delivered to the mentioned address on time. Pricing is clear, carriers are insured, and your vehicle is looked after the whole way, from the moment it’s loaded to the moment it arrives.
Many transport services operate from terminal to terminal: you drop off your car at one facility, and pick it up at another. In contrast, our door-to-door service means:
We pick up your vehicle directly from the address you choose in the Dallas area, whether it’s a home, business, or apartment complex, so you don’t have to drop it off at a terminal.
We deliver it directly to your chosen drop-off address, home, business, or other, no transfer required on your part.
You benefit from the highest level of convenience: simplified logistics, fewer interim moves, and minimal effort on your side.
You’ll receive full documentation, condition inspection, tracking updates, and support throughout the process.
The Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex (DFW) is a major transportation and logistics hub in Texas. With key interstate highways (I-20, I-30, I-35, US 75) and high carrier availability, origin or destination shipments in Dallas are efficient. Because many carriers operate out of or pass through Dallas, we can secure better scheduling flexibility and competitive pricing when pickup or delivery involves the Dallas region.
Whether you are relocating from Dallas, buying a car out of state and shipping it to Dallas, or simply want to transport a vehicle to/from Dallas, choosing a hub like Dallas helps streamline routing and minimize delays. We focus on the Dallas market, which means we know the ZIP codes, the usual residential access hurdles like gated communities and narrow streets, and the local logistics that come with them.
1. Free Instant Quote: Fill out our quick online form: vehicle make/model/year, approximate pickup address (Dallas area), destination address, and preferred timeframe. We look at details such as distance, your vehicle’s size, and the type of transport you want, then provide a clear quote.
2. Carrier Assignment & Confirmation: After you approve it, we match you with a licensed, insured carrier. You’ll get the pickup window, the driver’s contact info, and any notes you need before the handoff.
3. Vehicle Pickup: On the scheduled day, the driver arrives at your Dallas address within the agreed timeframe. A detailed inspection is performed: pre-existing damage is documented (photos), vehicle mileage noted, Bill of Lading (BOL) or transport contract signed. You can record your own images too.
4. In-Transit Monitoring & Updates: During transit, you’ll receive status updates. Some shipments may have live GPS tracking or regular check-in calls. Our carriers monitor for weather delays, route changes, and communicate proactively.
5. Delivery & Final Inspection: When the vehicle arrives at the destination, you inspect it (preferably in daylight), compare the condition with the pickup documentation, sign off on the delivery receipt, and the BOL. If there is damage, we assist with claim support.
6. Post-Delivery Follow-Up: After delivery, we conduct a customer check-in to confirm satisfaction, address any issues, and ensure follow-through on any warranty or support.
For standard sedans shipping to/from Dallas, costs usually fall somewhere between $500 and $1,500+, though longer routes or added services can push the price higher.
Distance & Route: Longer trips raise the total amount, but the price per mile often drops when the haul covers more miles.
Pickup / Delivery Accessibility: If your Dallas pickup or drop-off point is in a gated community, on a narrow street, or has restricted access for large carriers, additional fees or alternate drop-off points may apply.
Vehicle Type & Condition: Larger vehicles like SUVs, trucks, or modified cars, as well as cars that can’t start on their own, take more work and equipment to load, which pushes the price up.
Transport Type – Open vs Enclosed: An open trailer is the cheaper option and works for most cars. An enclosed trailer offers added protection, which makes it a better fit for luxury or classic vehicles, but it does cost more.
Seasonality & Demand: During busy times of year, such as peak moving seasons or snowbird travel months, prices can rise. Booking ahead and keeping your dates open can help keep the cost down.
Expedited pickup/delivery: if you need your vehicle moved on short notice.
Insurance upgrades are available for high-value or classic vehicles; standard carrier liability limits may apply.
Special handling: oversized, low-clearance, or remote locations.
Fuel surcharges and route deviations.
Most commonly used method.
Vehicles are loaded onto open-air car-carrier trailers alongside other vehicles.
Cost-effective and suitable for standard cars in normal condition.
Acceptable for most owners unless the vehicle value, condition, or access demands something special.
Your vehicle rides in a covered trailer, keeping it shielded from weather and away from road grit.
Recommended for luxory vehicles, classics, exotic cars, or vehicles with custom paint and expensive finishes.
Higher cost due to fewer vehicles per trailer and added handling requirements.
If you choose enclosed, ensure you verify the carrier’s experience with that method, and factor in the extra cost into your budget.

Our Dallas-based knowledge enables us to handle local nuances: address confirmation, residential pickup logistics, notification to the driver ahead of arrival in Dallas, and smooth hand-offs.
A little preparation can ensure your vehicle is ready for transport and helps avoid delays or complications:
Clean the vehicle: Check both the exterior and interior so any pre-existing marks are easy to note.
Remove personal belongings: Carriers usually won’t cover personal belongings, so take out loose items, valuables, and add-ons like bike racks or roof boxes before the pickup.
Vehicle condition check: Ensure fluid levels are topped off as required, the battery is charged, the tires are inflated, and there are no leaks. For non-running vehicles, please inform us in advance.
Fuel level: Keep tank to approx. ¼ full, which is enough for loading and unloading without excess weight.
Photograph your vehicle: Take clear photos of the car from all sides, including the interior, right before pickup. These shots come in handy if something happens along the way.
Provide accurate pickup & delivery addresses: Share any details the driver should know, such as gate codes, limited access hours, or a tight driveway, so they can plan the pickup without issues.
Prepare required documents: Ensure you or your authorised representative is available for inspection, the signing of the Bill of Lading (BOL), and the handover of keys.
Transparent pricing: Our rates are clear and don’t come with surprise add-ons. We provide clear quotes and explain all cost factors upfront.

A: It’s usually smart to book one to two weeks in advance. For busy seasons or special transport needs, booking earlier helps you get better rates and a confirmed carrier.
A: Transit time depends primarily on distance and route. For in-state moves around Texas: 1-3 days. Cross-country shipments may take 4-10 days or more, depending on route, stops, weather, and carrier scheduling.
A: Yes, that’s the “door-to-door” promise. If a large carrier can’t reach your exact address due to a narrow street, a steep driveway, or access restrictions, we may discuss a nearby accessible meeting point and coordinate accordingly.
A: Yes. Custom cars or vehicles that sit low or are oversized may require extra care due to limited trailer clearance or special loading requirements. We’ll evaluate during the quote stage and adjust the cost accordingly.
A: Enclosed transport is available as an upgrade if your vehicle needs added protection, such as high-end, classic, or collector cars. We'll provide separate pricing and explain the benefits so you can decide.
