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.

Arriving in Seattle, WA

Seattle is a solid auto transport market with a geographic reality that matters. It is in the top left corner of the continental US. That means carriers heading here are usually at the end of a run and need to turn around and head back south or east. The Port of Seattle handles vehicle imports and Manheim has a location in the area. The dealer market across Seattle, Bellevue, Tacoma, and the surrounding suburbs is healthy. I-5 is the main artery connecting Seattle to Portland and LA to the south, and I-90 is the primary eastern route heading toward Spokane and eventually the Midwest. It is an active market, just not quite the crossroads that cities further south and east enjoy.

Delivering to Seattle is active on the I-5 southbound to northbound return runs. Carriers who just dropped cars in Portland often pick up in Seattle before heading south again. Delivery from California is frequent and well serviced. Coming in from the east on I-90 takes a bit more coordination but it gets done regularly. Plan for 3 to 5 days on most routes.

Pricing on This Route

Shipping a standard sedan from Phoenix to Seattle on open carrier currently estimates between $800 and $1100. That is based on the 1,360-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.

Seattle runs slightly above the national average. The corner positioning means carriers are not passing through on their way somewhere else, they are specifically routing to or from the Pacific Northwest. That adds a small premium versus interior cities. The I-5 corridor to and from California is the most competitive lane. Routes to the Midwest run longer and slightly higher in cost because of the distance and mountain crossings. Get a quote for your specific route.
