Shipping in Mission
What to know about moving a car in Mission.
Mission is one of the principal cities of the McAllen–Edinburg–Mission metro area, about 5 miles west of McAllen. It is in Hidalgo County. The Census Bureau estimated about 87,300 residents in 2023.
Mission is not on an interstate. The closest is I-35, about 116 miles away in a straight line, and US-83 is the main highway through town. Because of that, pickups here usually take a little more planning than in cities on a main truck route. Seasonal residents spend the winter in Mission, so the busiest shipping months are fall arrivals and spring departures.
Winters are fairly mild, so scheduling depends more on summer storms and holiday demand than on snow.
Houston, the largest city in Texas, is about 305 miles northeast in a straight line. Nearby places with their own guides include McAllen (5 mi), Edinburg (13 mi), and Weslaco (21 mi). The closest major out-of-state market is Oklahoma City, OK, about 642 miles away.
