Difficult Market

Shipping from El Paso, TX

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?

Arriving in Anaheim, CA

Anaheim sits in the heart of Orange County and operates entirely within the LA metro carrier network. For practical purposes, getting a car to or from Anaheim is the same as getting one to or from Los Angeles. I-5 runs straight through Anaheim from LA to San Diego and is one of the most heavily traveled carrier corridors in the country. SR-91 connects Anaheim to the Inland Empire and Riverside. The auction market in Anaheim is significant. Manheim California Auction in Anaheim is one of the largest in the state, processing over 300 vehicles per sale. Copart and IAA both have Orange County locations nearby. The Orange County dealer market is one of the strongest in Southern California. Carriers are always in this area.

Anaheim is an easy delivery destination for the same reasons it is an easy pickup market. Carriers on I-5 pass through Orange County constantly moving between LA and San Diego. If your car is coming from the north or south, Anaheim is right on the route. If it is coming from the east on I-10 or through Riverside on SR-91, the connection is direct. Delivery is typically smooth and straightforward anywhere in the Orange County area.

Pricing on This Route

Shipping a standard sedan from El Paso to Anaheim on open carrier currently estimates between $550 and $850. That is based on the 828-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.

Anaheim prices run at or slightly below the national average, just like the broader LA market. You benefit from being in one of the most competitive auto transport markets in the country. Routes to Las Vegas, Phoenix, San Diego, and the Bay Area are very active and priced well. Long haul routes to Texas or the East Coast are competitive because carriers fill up in the LA metro and Anaheim is a natural loading point. Summer sees elevated demand. January through March is often the best window for pricing. Get a quote to see your exact price.
