"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."
Open or Enclosed Transport for Arizona to Rhode Island?
Open car transport is the standard choice for most shipments and the most economical way to ship a daily driver, SUV, or truck. Your car rides with 8–10 others on a multi-vehicle trailer, driven on via built-in ramps and secured to the deck for the trip — the same way dealers move new inventory. See open auto transport for details.
Enclosed car shipping earns its premium of roughly 50% when the vehicle itself calls for it: luxury, classic, and exotic cars, a vehicle fresh off the dealer lot with no road miles, or anything you would not want exposed to weather and road debris. If you're weighing the two, our guide to the difference between enclosed and open auto transport covers it in detail.
Expedited shipping is also available when the calendar is not negotiable: guaranteed pickup windows and direct driver routes that get your vehicle there faster. It is the option time-sensitive moves lean on, from military relocations to students starting a new semester.

RoadRunner auto transport carriers run the Arizona to Rhode Island corridor with open and enclosed equipment, door to door on both ends.
Arizona to Rhode Island Shipping Prices by Season
This is a reverse-snowbird corridor: northbound demand peaks in spring as winter residents head home, and softens from late summer into fall when most seasonal traffic runs the other way.
Monthly booking demand on the Arizona to Rhode Island corridor

Spring
Returning snowbirds drive the year's strongest northbound demand, and April is typically the tightest month for carrier space.

Early Summer
Relocation season keeps carriers moving in both directions; northbound demand eases gradually through midsummer.

Late Summer & Fall
Most seasonal traffic is heading south, so northbound carrier space is plentiful: the best pricing of the year.

Holidays & Winter
A moderate stretch with a small bump around the holidays; demand starts building toward the spring rush late in winter.
How Long Does Arizona to Rhode Island Car Shipping Take?

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.
