Shipping from Las Vegas, NV

Las Vegas is a surprisingly active auto transport market for a city its size. It sits at the intersection of I-15 which runs from LA to Salt Lake City and beyond, and US-95 which connects it to Phoenix and Reno. The Las Vegas metro has a large dealer market and significant auction activity. Copart Las Vegas is active. The transient nature of the Las Vegas population, with lots of people moving in and out regularly, keeps shipping demand elevated. And because I-15 between LA and Las Vegas is one of the most traveled routes in the West, carriers run this lane constantly.

Pickups from Las Vegas typically happen within 2 to 3 days. The LA to Las Vegas lane is one of the most active and competitive in the western US. Carriers run it constantly because there is always demand in both directions. Routes north toward Salt Lake City and east toward Phoenix and beyond are also well serviced. If you are shipping on a popular lane out of Las Vegas, carriers are already running it and your car fits naturally into the flow.

Arriving in Tampa, FL

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.

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.
