Pickup & delivery
Local considerations for Corpus Christi.
Base access
Civilian carriers usually can't drive onto Naval Air Station Corpus Christi. Plan to meet off-base in Corpus Christi, and line up dates with your report or departure date if you're on PCS orders.
Hurricane season
From June 1 through November 30, a storm along the Gulf coast can push pickups and deliveries back. Keep your dates a little flexible, and we'll reschedule as soon as roads reopen.
Street access
A full-size carrier often can't fit on residential streets in denser parts of Corpus Christi. Expect to meet at a nearby wide street or a large parking lot. We'll confirm the spot before pickup day.
Port deliveries
If the car is going to or coming from the Port of Corpus Christi, terminals usually need a booking reference and the title before they accept the vehicle. Send those with your quote request.
Off the interstate
With I-37 about 14 miles away, some carriers will ask to meet closer to the highway. Door-to-door pickup is still the default whenever the truck can reach you.

FAQ
Car shipping questions about Corpus Christi.
Do you offer door-to-door car shipping in Corpus Christi, TX?
Yes. We arrange door-to-door service in Corpus Christi wherever a carrier can safely stop. In denser neighborhoods, that may be a nearby wide street or parking lot. We'll confirm the exact spot before pickup.
How far ahead should I book car shipping in Corpus Christi?
Booking a week or two ahead usually gives you the most options. In Corpus Christi, summer is peak PCS season around NAS Corpus Christi.
Can you ship a car from Corpus Christi to Houston, TX?
Yes. Corpus Christi to Houston is about 177 miles in a straight line, and the road distance is longer. We'll quote the route both ways and give you a timing window before you book.
Can a carrier pick up at Naval Air Station Corpus Christi?
Usually not on the installation itself. Civilian carriers generally can't get on base, so pickup is set at an address or public lot off-base in Corpus Christi. Have your orders handy if your dates depend on a report date.
Can you deliver a car to the Port of Corpus Christi?
Yes, as long as the terminal has your booking. Port deliveries usually need the title and a booking or dock receipt number in advance, and export shipments have U.S. Customs paperwork deadlines. Share those details when you request a quote.
What happens if a hurricane is forecast near my pickup date?
Carriers won't drive into an active storm. If a hurricane threatens the area, we'll move your pickup or delivery to the first safe day and keep you posted.
Should I choose open or enclosed transport in Corpus Christi?
Open transport works well for most everyday cars and is the more affordable option. Enclosed transport protects luxury, classic or freshly detailed vehicles from salt air near the coast along the way.
