Shipping from New York, NY

New York is one of the highest volume auto transport markets in the country. We move cars in and out of the metro constantly. The challenge here is not finding a carrier. It is navigating the logistics. The metro has three major vehicle import terminals through Port Newark and Port Elizabeth in New Jersey, and there are large Manheim and ADESA auction locations that keep carrier traffic flowing through the area year round. Dealership density is extremely high across the five boroughs and into Long Island, Westchester, and New Jersey. Volume is not the problem. Access is.

Pickups in New York typically happen within 2 to 4 days. But here is what most people do not know. Carriers prefer to pick up from suburbs and outer areas rather than deep inside Manhattan or Brooklyn. If your car is in the city you should expect to coordinate a meetup at a nearby parking lot or side street. Carriers simply cannot maneuver a multi-car hauler through midtown. If you are in Queens, Long Island, New Jersey, or Westchester, pickups are much smoother and usually faster. Let us know where the car is when you get your quote and we will tell you exactly what to expect.

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 New York to Phoenix on open carrier currently estimates between $1300 and $1600. That is based on the 2,611-mile distance and current market conditions.

New York is not cheap. Prices run 10 to 20 percent above the national average. Part of that is the access premium because carriers deal with tolls, traffic, and tight streets. Part of it is just demand. There is enormous competition for slots on cars moving to and from New York. Winter can slow things down slightly when carriers prefer warmer routes, and summer sees elevated demand from people relocating. But overall this is a year round active market.

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.

Shipping Something That Needs an Enclosed Trailer?

The estimate above is for open transport, which is how the large majority of vehicles on this route move. Enclosed transport runs $400 to $800 above the open rate and is the right call for classic, exotic, luxury and lowered vehicles — anything that should not meet weather or road debris between New York and Phoenix.
