  1. 1

Getting Ready

Before the carrier arrives in McAllen

Three things to handle between booking and pickup day. They take an hour in total and make both handoffs smooth.

1

Schedule in advance

Book 7–14 days ahead for the best rates, and 2–3 weeks during peak season, when carrier space is tightest.

2

Prep and empty the vehicle

Wash the car, leave about a quarter tank of fuel, and remove personal items. Anything left inside is not protected against loss or damage in transit.

3

Inspect at pickup and delivery

Walk around the vehicle with the driver at both ends, photograph its condition, and note anything new on the Bill of Lading before signing.

McAllen pickups and deliveries

Shipping a car to McAllen

Inbound McAllen auto transport ends at your door in McAllen or in Mission, Pharr, Weslaco. The carrier comes in on the Rio Grande Valley & the Border lanes with a delivery window set once the truck is a day out, and the driver checks the vehicle with you against the condition recorded at pickup before you sign for it.

If you are moving in, the quote is the same whether the car rides ahead of you or after you; Texas registration comes afterwards, and the Texas DMV links in the pickup section above cover that paperwork.

Shipping a car from McAllen

Outbound, McAllen auto transport starts with one quote for the exact vehicle and dates. A transport coordinator assigns the carrier on the Rio Grande Valley & the Border runs, confirms the pickup date, and from then on the driver is your contact for timing.

Open transport is the standard choice for a daily driver leaving Texas; enclosed transport is there for a car that should arrive without weather or road debris on it. Either way the price you see is for your exact vehicle, not a class average.

Service Type

Open or Enclosed Transport for McAllen?

Open car transport is the standard choice for most shipments and the most economical way to ship a daily driver, SUV, or truck. Your car rides with 8–10 others on a multi-vehicle trailer, driven on via built-in ramps and secured to the deck for the trip — the same way dealers move new inventory. See open auto transport for details.

Enclosed car shipping earns its premium of roughly 50% when the vehicle itself calls for it: luxury, classic, and exotic cars, a vehicle fresh off the dealer lot with no road miles, or anything you would not want exposed to weather and road debris. If you're weighing the two, our guide to the difference between enclosed and open auto transport covers it in detail.

Expedited shipping is also available when the calendar is not negotiable: guaranteed pickup windows and direct driver routes that get your vehicle there faster. It is the option time-sensitive moves lean on, from military relocations to students starting a new semester.

Tips

Tips for shipping a car to or from McAllen

1

Keep the pickup window flexible

A two- to three-day window lets the dispatcher place your car on the first carrier passing through; a fixed single day is the most expensive way to book.

2

Name a second contact for the handoff

Someone over 18 has to release and accept the vehicle, hand over the keys and sign the inspection reports. If you cannot be at the McAllen address yourself, name a person you trust at booking.

3

Say so if the car does not run

Inoperable vehicles ship on a carrier with a winch, for an additional fee and usually a slightly longer wait for the right truck. Mention it at quote time so the assignment is right the first time.

I recently relocated from Los Angeles, CA to Dallas, TX. I found RoadRunner from Google and received excellent services from the quote to the service of picking my car and transporting across country. The driver Milan, was very thorough in communicating and providing accurate updates of where my car was located. If I ever needed my car transported again I would use RoadRunner!!!
