Door-to-door Lafayette, Louisiana car shipping where I-10 meets I-49, with oilfield and UL semester timing and Johnston Street or Ambassador Caffery hand-offs.
Ship A Car, Inc. arranges door-to-door vehicle transport for Lafayette, the capital of Cajun country where I-10 and I-49 cross on the north side, the University of Louisiana fills the blocks off Johnston Street, the oil and gas offices line the Oil Center, Ambassador Caffery Parkway carries the retail strip around the south and west, and Festival International fills downtown every April. The carrier that moves your car in or out of Acadiana is licensed and insured, and it has passed our vetting before we assign it.
Car shipping here follows the oilfield and the university. Oil and gas transfers to and from Houston move all year, and the UL campus fills the third week of August and empties in mid-May, so those weeks should be booked about three weeks ahead. Houston-to-Florida trucks cross town on I-10, Shreveport trucks come down I-49, and the Ambassador Caffery and Evangeline Thruway lots fit a 75-foot rig a minute off the ramp. South-side subdivisions usually have driveways the truck can use; the campus blocks, the Saint Streets and downtown are tighter and meet it on Johnston Street or at an Ambassador Caffery lot agreed at booking.

For the rest of Acadiana and the state beyond it, our Louisiana car shipping guide lays out routes, seasons, and price ranges.
I-10 brings the Texas and Florida trucks through town and I-49 brings the Shreveport ones south, so a car here can join a load that is already on the road.
August and May campus moves book three weeks out; oilfield transfers get a window that fits a start date in Houston or Midland.
Your route, vehicle and dates go into the quote calculator, which emails a Lafayette estimate before a specialist calls with the final price. From the first call to the inspection at delivery, one coordinator handles the move, Houston transfer or semester start.
In Cajun country, Lafayette has I-10 and I-49 meeting on its north side, while Ambassador Caffery Parkway loops the retail strip around the south and west. Five things move your number:
Oilfield transfers and UL semesters share one Lafayette table, priced entirely by distance. The Austin, Birmingham, Fort Myers, Detroit and San Francisco rows rest on the middle half of what customers paid for open-carrier moves of matching length in our bookings between September 2025 and August 2026.
These are open-trailer sedan ranges; pickups, SUVs and non-running cars cost more, and enclosed transport is about a third higher. For a Lafayette quote on your exact route, use the online quote calculator or call (866) 821-4555. No deposit is taken until a carrier is assigned to your move.
Acadiana’s hub for music, food, and French still spoken at the table.
Downtown closes for the free music festival every April.
The offices built for the offshore industry still anchor the economy.
The university fills the blocks off Johnston Street.
Please note: Lafayette bands for Austin, Birmingham, Fort Myers, Detroit and San Francisco are based on what customers paid for comparable distances from September 2025 to August 2026, for sedans on open carriers. The exact route, the time of year, fuel and the vehicle shape a real quote, which a specialist confirms by phone once the calculator has emailed a Lafayette estimate.
