Great experience! It was very personalized and attentive. I had an emergency move and they managed to pick up the car just the next day after booking.
Professional service and reasonable price considering they had to winch my car on the trailer.
I'm really happy with the service!!! Fili is a really nice person and a professional.

More people move between Arkansas and Texas than between Arkansas and any other state. It comes to about 10,000 a year in each direction, though Texas is next door, and the long runs go to Florida, Chicago and New York, and west to Phoenix and Los Angeles. Whichever direction a car arrives from, its owner’s first stop is the county assessor rather than the revenue office.
Arkansas issues plates only once the county assessor has the car on the year’s assessment, so the assessor comes first, inside the 60 days.
Counties tax cars as personal property, which is why the assessor has to have yours on the books before the revenue office will register it. Depending on the county that can be done online, by phone or at the office, and the assessment it produces, with the car listed, is what the revenue office asks to see. Proof of insurance goes with it.
From then on it’s a yearly errand. Every car is assessed again between January 1 and May 31, and a late assessment costs a 10% penalty. Plates are renewed only once the county’s personal property tax on the car has been paid, so that bill comes before each renewal as well, and it is worth paying before the tag runs out.
If the move makes you a Arkansas resident, these are the state's rules for the car.
Checked October 2026 against Arkansas General Assembly. Rules change; the state's own site has the final word.

Open transport to or from Arkansas runs $850 to $2,250. Chicago comes to $850 to $1,350 and Florida to $950 to $1,450, while California, the longest of these runs, spans $1,600 to $2,250.
An Arkansas shipment usually spends 2 to 6 days between pickup and delivery. Chicago is a 2 to 4 day run, Florida, Arizona and New York take 3 to 5, and California 4 to 6.
Arkansas gives a new resident 60 calendar days to register their car, counted from the move rather than from the car's arrival. The county assessor has to have the car on the year's assessment before the revenue office will register it. The limit was 30 days until a 2023 change in the law, so older guides may still say 30.
The deposit is charged 7 days before your pickup window opens; for a pickup inside 7 days it is held on your card at booking and charged when your driver is confirmed. The remaining balance is paid to the driver at delivery.
You can leave up to 100 pounds of personal items in one piece of luggage, placed in the trunk or cargo area. Some carriers will accept additional weight for an added fee; we can arrange this for you after booking.
You can cancel for free up to 7 days before pickup. After that, the deposit is non-refundable.
One to two weeks ahead is enough on most routes. Busy corridors handle shorter notice, and quieter lanes benefit from the full two weeks. Booking earlier does not lower the price; it settles your dates sooner, and the price holds for 28 days either way.
Every shipment is insured by the carrier under federal cargo liability requirements.
