Door-to-door car shipping with fully insured carriers. No upfront payment.
Texas Tech University drives a significant share of Lubbock auto transport demand, with students shipping vehicles at the start and end of each academic semester. The city's role as a regional healthcare hub and center of West Texas agriculture also generates relocation-related shipments, as medical professionals and agricultural workers move to and from the area.
Lubbock sits well outside the I-35 and I-10 corridors that carry most carrier traffic through Texas. The nearest high-volume route is I-20, accessible via US-87 south through Big Spring—roughly 100 miles away. This isolation means fewer carriers pass through regularly, and those that do often serve Lubbock as an add-on stop rather than a primary destination. Flexible scheduling and early booking help match shipments with available car shipping companies Lubbock routes.
West Texas weather adds a seasonal layer to auto shipping Lubbock logistics. Severe thunderstorms and dust storms between April and June can delay pickups, while the June-through-November hurricane season across the Texas Gulf Coast can disrupt carrier schedules statewide, reducing the pool of trucks available for detour routes into Lubbock.

Lubbock's distance from major interstate corridors is the primary cost driver. Carriers factor in the detour mileage from I-20 or I-27, and the limited number of loads originating in West Texas can affect pricing. Vehicle type, season, and route direction also influence rates. Request a quote for your specific route.
Transit times from Lubbock reflect the city's position roughly 100 miles from I-20 and far from Texas's major metro hubs. Fewer carriers serve this route regularly, so matching a shipment can take longer than in higher-volume markets like Dallas or Houston. Select your route above for timing details.
Yes on paved roads. Much of Lubbock's residential grid is accessible to standard car haulers. However, properties on unpaved county roads outside city limits or in surrounding rural communities may require meeting the carrier at a nearby paved location such as a commercial parking area along US-87 or US-82.
Open transport works well for most vehicles shipped to or from Lubbock and matches the majority of available carrier capacity on West Texas routes. Enclosed transport is worth considering for high-value, classic, or luxury vehicles—especially given the region's dust storms and hail risk. Enclosed availability is more limited than open transport and pricing is typically higher, so plan ahead when booking car shipping Lubbock tx with enclosed service.
Late summer and early fall see increased demand as Texas Tech students ship vehicles for the academic year. Scheduling outside those peaks—mid-spring or early winter—can improve options. Gulf Coast hurricane season from June through November can also tighten statewide carrier supply, so booking well in advance during those months helps when you ship a car to Lubbock.
Someone 18 or older must be present at both ends to authorize the shipment and sign the Bill of Lading. If you cannot attend personally, designate a trusted representative — a friend, family member, or dealership contact — to handle the vehicle inspection and paperwork on your behalf.

Wash the exterior so scratches and dents are visible during inspection. Remove toll transponders, parking passes, and loose interior items. Leave roughly a quarter tank of fuel. Disable aftermarket alarms. Take dated photos of all sides, roof, and odometer before the carrier arrives for your records.
Most carriers allow personal belongings in the trunk or cargo area up to about 100 pounds. Items must stay below the window line and cannot be fragile or high-value. Personal items are not covered under carrier cargo insurance, so keep the vehicle as empty as practical.
