High Volume

Shipping from Baltimore, MD

Baltimore has something most cities do not: a major vehicle import port. The Port of Baltimore processes a huge volume of vehicle cargo every year through Fairfield and Masonville terminals plus the Chesapeake and Atlantic auto terminals. That port activity alone draws carriers to this market. On the road side, I-95 is the backbone, connecting Baltimore directly to Washington DC to the south and Philadelphia and New York to the north. I-83 runs north into Pennsylvania. I-70 connects westward toward Frederick and the Midwest. Manheim Baltimore-Washington is located in Elkridge, just west of the city off I-95. IAA has a Baltimore-area location too. This is a high volume market with real infrastructure behind it.

Pickups in Baltimore run 2 to 4 days in most cases. Suburban areas like Elkridge, Towson, and the counties south and west of the city are easier for carrier access than the tight rowhouse streets in city neighborhoods. Carriers running I-95 between New York and the South pass through Baltimore constantly, so your car fits naturally into existing lanes. The Port activity means there is always a steady flow of carrier traffic. Snowbird season from October through April adds volume on the I-95 Florida corridor.

Major Hub

Arriving in 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.

Delivering to Phoenix is just as easy. Carriers running I-10 from LA are headed this direction constantly. Trucks coming up from Tucson and Nogales, or across I-40 from Albuquerque and beyond, all funnel through the Phoenix metro. It is a natural delivery point on most major western routes. Expect smooth delivery with minimal wait time.

Pricing on This Route

Shipping a standard sedan from Baltimore to Phoenix on open carrier currently estimates between $1225 and $1525. That is based on the 2,441-mile distance and current market conditions.

Baltimore runs slightly above the national average. The port activity and dense I-95 corridor keep volume high, but the DC metro market nearby creates competition for carrier slots. Routes to and from New York, Philadelphia, and DC are very competitive. Routes south on I-95 toward the Carolinas and Florida are among the most active carrier lanes in the country and priced well. Heading west or into rural Maryland costs more because you are leaving a dense corridor. Get a quote to see your exact price.

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.
