Major Hub

Shipping from Phoenix, AZ

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.

Regional Market

Arriving in Corpus Christi, TX

Corpus Christi is a regional market on the South Texas coast and I want to be honest with you about what that means for auto transport. I-37 is the main highway connecting Corpus Christi north to San Antonio, which is the nearest major hub. That is about a 2.5 hour drive with no major cities in between. There is a Manheim location in Corpus Christi and IAA has a facility on Agnes Street, but the auction density is much lower than San Antonio or Houston. America's Auto Auction also services this market. The port is active but not primarily a vehicle import hub. The dealer market in Corpus Christi is modest but active, with several franchise dealerships along South Padre Island Drive that move regular inventory. Carriers can and do reach Corpus Christi but they are making a dedicated run south, not passing through on the way somewhere else.

Delivery to Corpus Christi works the same way. Carriers leaving San Antonio with a load heading south to the coast will service this market. Most residential areas and neighborhoods near I-37 and the main commercial corridors are accessible. If you are near the marina or Padre Island, let us know your exact address because some areas near the water can be tight for large haulers and we may want to arrange a meetup nearby.

Pricing on This Route

Shipping a standard sedan from Phoenix to Corpus Christi on open carrier currently estimates between $675 and $975. That is based on the 1,165-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.

Corpus Christi runs 15 to 25 percent above the national average on most routes. The math is simple. A carrier runs 2.5 hours south from San Antonio with limited guarantee of a load heading back out. They need to get paid for that risk. Routes between Corpus Christi and San Antonio or Houston are the most competitive because carriers service those cities regularly. Routes to the coasts or Midwest carry a bigger premium. Get a quote to see your exact price.
