"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."

Open or Enclosed Transport for Rhode Island to Arizona?
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.

This corridor follows the snowbird calendar: southbound demand builds through late summer, peaks from early fall into the holidays, and is quietest in spring when the seasonal flow runs north.

Fall & Early Winter
The fall snowbird migration drives the strongest southbound demand of the year, and carrier space stays tight from early fall through the holidays.
Winter
Demand tapers after the holidays; pricing eases back toward the annual average with steady availability.
Spring
The quietest stretch southbound: most seasonal traffic is running the other way, so carrier space is easy and pricing is the best of the year.
Summer
Relocation season keeps demand building steadily through summer toward the fall rush.
