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.
Pickups in Tucson typically run 3 to 5 days. When carriers are running between Phoenix and the Texas border on I-10, Tucson fits naturally into that route and pickups can come together faster. Summer is actually slower here than you might think. The extreme heat from June through August pushes some carrier traffic to adjust schedules and some snowbirds leave, reducing outbound volume. Winter and spring are strong because of the retiree population and snowbirds heading back north. Get a quote to see what your specific route looks like.
Tampa is one of the best positioned markets in Florida for auto transport and that is saying something because Florida as a whole is extremely active. Manheim Tampa is on South 50th Street in the city. ADESA Tampa is right nearby on North 50th Street. Copart Tampa South is also in the market. That kind of auction density inside the city limits means carriers have real business reasons to be here. I-75 is the main north-south corridor, connecting Tampa straight to Atlanta and up to Detroit. I-4 runs east across the state to Orlando and Daytona Beach. The two highways meet near downtown Tampa and that convergence is what makes this market tick. Carriers running the Florida snowbird circuit treat Tampa as a reliable staging point.
Tampa receives cars well. Carriers on I-75 from Atlanta and further north are making this run constantly during the fall and winter months. The flip side is that in late spring and summer when snowbirds head back north, there can be a short window where northbound loads are so abundant that carriers snap them up fast, making deliveries from out of state slightly quicker to coordinate. Summer is slower overall for in-state Florida demand, but the interstate corridors stay active. One thing to know is that Tampa Bay traffic on I-4 and I-275 can affect carrier timing during rush hours. Drivers account for this and it is not a major issue.
Shipping a standard sedan from Tucson to Tampa on open carrier currently estimates between $1025 and $1325. That is based on the 2,105-mile distance and current market conditions.
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.
Tampa runs at or slightly below the national average depending on your route and the time of year. During peak snowbird season from November through February, southbound pricing into Tampa is competitive because carriers are actively filling loads heading to Florida. In May and June when snowbirds reverse course, northbound pricing from Tampa can actually be favorable for the same reason. Summer months are slower and carriers need a little more incentive to come down. Routes to Atlanta on I-75 and to Orlando on I-4 are consistently efficient. Routes to Texas are active. Long haul to the Northeast or West Coast will cost more. Get a quote to see your exact price.
