Vehicles leaving the IAA Lexington yard load a short hop from I-20, with I-26 roughly 4 miles out and I-77 roughly 7 miles out. Those are the corridors a car hauler actually runs to reach this gate, and the yard sits west of Columbia.
Booking a pickup here
Carriers can only load while the gate is open, so a truck arriving after closing waits until the next business day — that is why we book a pickup window rather than just a date. If you have won vehicles at more than one yard in this area, say so on the quote: putting them on a single carrier is normally cheaper than booking separate pickups.
How far is IAA Lexington from major cities?
Driving distances from this yard: Columbia 10 mi (16 min), Augusta 75 mi (1 hr 33 min), Charlotte 101 mi (2 hr 4 min), North Charleston 104 mi (2 hr 1 min). Larger metros: Winston-Salem 179 mi (3 hr 35 min), Greensboro 192 mi (3 hr 46 min), Atlanta 204 mi (3 hr 46 min). Mileage is measured on the road network, not in a straight line, and the times shown are typical car drive times. A loaded carrier runs slower and works to a pickup window, so plan on 1-2 days of transit to those metros once a truck is dispatched.
