Phoenix is one of the most important auto transport hubs in the western United States. It sits right on I-10 which is the primary east to west corridor connecting LA to Houston. I-17 runs north to Vegas and I-40 catches the northern route across the country. Manheim Phoenix is a large and very active auction. The dealer market across Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa, Chandler, and Gilbert is deep. Phoenix is also one of the top snowbird destinations in the country, which means the transport demand in and out of this market is massive and consistent. Carriers love Phoenix because there is always a load.
Pickups in Phoenix are fast. Most of the time we get a carrier assigned within 1 to 2 days. The I-10 corridor is one of the busiest carrier lanes in America and Phoenix sits right in the middle of it. During snowbird season from October through April the demand from retirees moving cars back and forth to the Midwest and Northeast creates enormous carrier volume. Even in the summer when residents head north to escape the heat the market stays active. Give us a call or get a quote and we can usually lock in a carrier quickly.
Tucson benefits enormously from its position on I-10 between Phoenix and El Paso. Phoenix is only about 115 miles north and carriers running that corridor pass through Tucson constantly. Manheim Tucson is located at 7090 South Craycroft Road and keeps a consistent flow of dealer vehicles moving through the market. IAA also has a Tucson location. That auction activity, combined with the University of Arizona population and the steady stream of retirees moving in and out of Southern Arizona, makes this a more active market than you might expect for a city of this size. It is not Phoenix, but it is not El Paso either.
Delivering to Tucson is generally straightforward. The city has good arterial roads that accommodate car haulers. The main consideration is the Tucson Mountains and some of the residential areas in the Foothills, where streets get narrow and steep. Carriers delivering to those areas will typically request a meetup at a nearby flat street or parking lot. Most deliveries inside the metro go smoothly without any special coordination.
Shipping a standard sedan from Phoenix to Tucson on open carrier currently estimates between $250 and $550. That is based on the 129-mile distance and current market conditions.
Phoenix runs at or below the national average for auto transport on most routes. The snowbird lanes to and from the Midwest and Great Lakes region see the most pricing fluctuation, with October through November and March through April being peak demand periods. Prices on those lanes can run 10 to 20 percent above the off season equivalent. The I-10 corridor to LA and Houston is extremely competitive year round. Get a quote to see where your route falls.
Tucson typically runs at or slightly above the national average. It is not as expensive as El Paso because of the Phoenix proximity, which gives carriers a logical two stop run. The Tucson to Phoenix lane and Tucson to Los Angeles lane via I-10 are both active and reasonably priced. Routes to the Southeast, Midwest, and Northwest cost more because they require carriers to route specifically through Southern Arizona rather than passing through on a natural corridor. Summer is the softest pricing season. Get a quote to see your exact price.
