About the Houston–Chicago route
Houston to Chicago is a long north–south lane of about 1,100 miles, and one of the routes we know best. On Houston–Chicago we sometimes have a set-week departure: when there's space, the quote form shows it as an option. From December to February, snow in the Midwest can add a day; carriers still run, and we keep you posted if the weather changes the plan.
How it works
- Get your price in the quote form: pickup and delivery ZIP codes, the vehicle, and whether it runs.
- Book online with nothing charged today. Your card is charged when a carrier is assigned.
- Before pickup you get the driver's name and phone number.
- At pickup and delivery the driver photographs the car on the Bill of Lading, so you sign knowing exactly how it arrived.
