"Absolutely awesome driver! Communicated well. Car arrived as promised! It was fun, we placed an air tag in the vehicle and were able to watch our shipment from Peoria AZ to Fort Meyers FL! Highly recommend!"

"Delivered MA to AZ on time and at a great price. They were flexible on pickup and drop off time and worked with our constraints. Great service."

"Great experience in having a vehicle I bought in Idaho transported to Arizona. The only negative would be that the subcontractor didn’t use Roadrunner’s text update system, but the driver did keep me updated when he was close to our pick-up location. I would recommend."

"My experience with Roadrunner Transport was simply outstanding. I was able to pack some items in my car saving me shipping fees. The driver was professional, very personable and trustworthy."

Arizona Pricing
Data updated: September 2026

How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Car to or from Arizona?

As of September 2026, the average cost to ship a car to or from Arizona is about $1,066, with shipments typically running $350–$2,000 depending on the corridor, vehicle, and season. Open auto transport is the standard choice; enclosed transport adds weather and debris protection for about 50% more.

What Factors Affect the Cost to Ship a Car?

Distance sets the baseline: the average corridor from Arizona runs about 1,661 miles, and longer lanes cost more in total while costing less per mile. From there, vehicle size and weight, open versus enclosed carrier, exact pickup and delivery locations, fuel prices, and above all season and timing move the number. For the full breakdown, see our car shipping cost calculator.

Demand on Arizona corridors runs busiest from spring into midsummer and softest from late summer into fall. The seasonal swing is modest, so timing helps at the margins.

Pickup and Delivery Across Arizona

Most handoffs are straightforward door-to-door pickups. The exceptions, we handle routinely.

Sun City & the 55+ communities

Arizona’s retirement and winter-visitor communities — Sun City, Sun City West, Sun Lakes, Green Valley — are core carrier territory. Have the gate code or guard desk ready, or the driver arranges to meet at the clubhouse or community entrance.

Desert heat

From May through September, drivers across the Valley and the low desert favor early-morning handoffs — cooler for people, paperwork, and tires. During monsoon season a dust storm can pause a pickup for an hour or two; drivers replan the same day.

The I-10 & I-40 corridors

Two of the country’s busiest transport corridors cross Arizona: I-10 through Phoenix and Tucson, I-40 across the north. Carriers pass daily in both directions, so corridor pickups dispatch fast year-round.

High country winters

Flagstaff sits at 7,000 feet and gets real snow — chain controls on I-17 and I-40 can shift high-country pickups between December and March. Carriers sometimes meet at lower elevations during storms; the Valley is unaffected.

Types of Car Shipping Services in Arizona

With Arizona's growing population, the demand for auto transport services has significantly increased. The three most common types of car shipping services are open carrier transport, enclosed carrier transport, and specialty vehicle shipping. Let’s have a closer look at each one:

Arizona Open Carrier Car Shipping

Open Carrier Transport

Open carrier transport is the most common type of car shipping service. Your vehicle is loaded onto a shared, open trailer along with other cars. Despite being exposed to the elements, this method is deemed safe and reliable. At RoadRunner, we are renowned for our open car transport service, ensuring your car's safety during the entire transport process.

Blue Luxury Arizona Enclosed Car Shipping

Enclosed Auto Transport

Should you need an extra layer of protection for your vehicle, consider choosing enclosed carrier transport. In this shipping service, cars are transported in a fully enclosed trailer. This is ideal for high-end or classic cars. RoadRunner offers exquisite enclosed auto transport services, guaranteeing complete protection from weather, debris, and dust during transit.

Arizona Heavy Hauling

Specialty Vehicle Transport

Specialty vehicle shipping refers to the transportation of vehicles that are not typically shipped by standard car carriers. This includes vehicles such as motorcycles, RVs, boats, and construction equipment. Specialty vehicles often require special handling and transportation methods, which is why it is important to work with a reputable shipping company like RoadRunner that has experience with these types of vehicles.

How to Save on Car Shipping in Arizona

Securing value for your money while guaranteeing vehicle safety is a top concern for anyone seeking Arizona car shipping services. The good news is there are numerous ways you can keep your costs down without compromising service quality.

Tips For Arizona Auto Transport Services

Among crucial strategies aiding in the cost-saving process is choosing between two primary services: open carrier transport and enclosed carrier transport.

Open carrier transport services are generally cheaper, making them the best option for standard cars. On the other hand, brand-new and luxury vehicles might command the extra protection offered by enclosed carrier transport.

It's also essential to compare prices between different vehicle transport services. Choose an Arizona auto transport company that is transparent about their rates and can break down the cost for you. Confirm that there are no extra charges tied to their transportation services.

How to Prepare Your Vehicle for Auto Transportation in Arizona

Ensuring that your vehicle is ready for car transport can lower shipping costs and reduce potential risks. Here's how to do it.

Car Maintenance Checks

Avoid high fuel levels as it adds unnecessary weight, which might increase shipping costs. It's advisable to empty the gas tank to about a quarter full. Also, ensure your car battery is fully charged and tires properly inflated.

Clear Personal Items

Most car transport services don't accept responsibility for personal belongings left in the vehicle. It's in your best interest to clear out any valuables before the car is taken for shipping.

Car Inspection

Before the car transport company takes possession of your vehicle, a thorough inspection is recommended. Document existing dents or scratches for reference in case of any disputes after the car transport.

Companies like RoadRunner usually offer a checklist to guide you through the inspection process, enhancing auto shipping safety and cost-effectiveness.

Shipping your vehicle is an important task and requires the absolute best care. By using these tips and partnering with a reliable service, you can be sure of a smooth and cost-friendly transport process. Remember, auto transport isn't just about car shipping, but also ensuring the car arrives in excellent condition at your destination.

Receiving Your Vehicle in Arizona

After making use of the Arizona auto transport services, it is essential to understand what to do once your vehicle arrives at its destination. The procedure generally includes a few crucial steps.

Inspection for New Damage

Upon your vehicle's arrival offered by the car transport service, your initial task should be to inspect the car for any fresh damage incurred during transit. It's the perfect time to compare the condition of the vehicle before and after shipping.

Checking for Missing Accessories or Belongings

Check the automobile for any missing accessories or belongings. While most vehicle transport services suggest not keeping personal items in the car during vehicle transport, it is always preventive to cross-check in case anything is found missing or altered.

Signing Delivery Paperwork

You are required to sign the delivery paperwork once the inspection is complete and everything seems fine. This documentation acts as proof of satisfactory delivery from the auto shipping company.

Excellent communication, friendly driver, safe journey from NY to Arizona! Driver contacted me to let me know when he would pick up the car and he was on time. He let me know when the car was going to be delivered, and was on time. The car arrived safely with no damage. Reasonable price - much cheaper than driving with hotels, gas, and food. I would definitely use them again!
