El Paso is a tough market for auto transport. We ship cars to and from here, but it takes some patience. Even though it is a decent sized city with about 870,000 people, it is very isolated. The nearest major metro is San Antonio and that is 550 miles east on I-10. Phoenix is 430 miles west. That is a lot of empty road with not much in between. There are no major auto auctions like Manheim or ADESA in El Paso, and the dealership count is lower than you would expect for a city this size. Less dealer activity means fewer carriers have a reason to be in the area.
Pickups from El Paso usually take 5 to 10 days. Sometimes longer. The main challenge is that carriers running I-10 from LA to Houston pass right through El Paso, but they do not always want to stop. If they already have a full load they are going to keep driving. We usually need to catch a carrier who has an open spot and is already on the I-10 corridor, or find one willing to make the trip for the right price. Being flexible on your pickup date helps a lot in a market like this. The more flexible you are, the faster we can get someone there. Want to check availability?

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.
Shipping a standard sedan from El Paso to Phoenix on open carrier currently estimates between $375 and $675. That is based on the 422-mile distance and current market conditions.
El Paso almost always runs above the national average. Expect to pay a 15 to 30 percent premium compared to a similar distance from a major hub. The reason is simple. Carriers have to drive through a long stretch of empty highway to get here and there might not be a load waiting for them on the other end. That dead head mileage has to get paid for somehow. There is not much seasonal variation though. It is pretty consistently a premium market year round. If you want the best shot at a fair price, be flexible on your dates and give us as much lead time as you can. Get a quote to see exactly where your route falls.
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.
