Shipping from Tucson, AZ

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.

Arriving in Nashville, TN

Nashville is a really solid city for auto transport. We move cars through here pretty regularly and it is one of the easier mid-size markets in the country. Three major interstates cross through Nashville. I-40 runs east to west, I-65 runs north to south, and I-24 cuts southeast toward Atlanta. That puts Nashville right in the middle of a bunch of busy carrier routes. Manheim Nashville is active and draws carriers through on a regular basis. There are plenty of dealerships in the metro too, so there is good truck traffic year round.

Getting a car delivered to Nashville is pretty smooth. Carriers like delivering here because they know they can pick up another load on the way out. The Manheim auction alone keeps a steady flow of trucks coming in and out of the area. If you are shipping from a major city like Atlanta, Chicago, or Dallas, your car is probably riding with a carrier who was already heading this direction. That makes it easy and keeps the price fair.

Pricing on This Route

Shipping a standard sedan from Tucson to Nashville on open carrier currently estimates between $925 and $1225. That is based on the 1,715-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.

Nashville usually runs right around the national average. Sometimes a little below it. You are not going to see the rock bottom prices that come out of mega hubs like Houston or LA, but you are also not paying any kind of premium. The I-65 corridor to Florida sees some seasonal swings during snowbird season from October to March, so if you are shipping between Nashville and South Florida keep that in mind. Prices on that lane can bump up 10 to 15 percent during peak months. For most other routes it stays pretty steady. Get a quote to see your exact price.
