Kyle is a city located in Hays County, in the U.S. state of Texas. Home to over 30,800 residents, Kyle is considered one of the fastest-growing cities in the state. Kyle was founded in 1881 by Captain Ferguson Kyle, and was established along the then-popular International-Great Northern Railroad line, and sits just south of Austin, the third-largest city in Texas.

Auto Transport Tips to and from Kyle
Kyle sits just south of Austin, within the Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos Metropolitan Statistical Area, which usually bodes well for you when trying to find transportation services into and out of the city. Its proximity to Austin generally means there are going to be more carriers willing to pick your vehicle up, since you’re shipping into or out of one of the largest cities in the state of Texas. It also helps that Kyle sits right along Interstate 35, a major north-south interstate highway that connects Austin with other major cities in Texas and further north.
At the same time, though, Kyle is small and kind of out of the way when it comes to auto transport services to or from there. This can make it more difficult to find a carrier at a price that you are looking to pay, so if you’re shipping on a budget you may be better off shipping into or out of Austin proper, or perhaps another city in the metropolitan area. What this will do is give you more options in terms of who you ship with and how much you will have to pay, and works well if you’re tight on money or if you’re pressed for time.
