Shipping from Houston, TX

Houston is one of the easiest cities in the country for auto transport. We move cars in and out of here every single day. It sits right on I-10 and I-45 which are two of the busiest carrier corridors in the US. There are hundreds of dealerships across the metro, plus Manheim Houston, ADESA Houston, and multiple Copart and IAA locations. That means carriers are always running through here looking for loads. On top of that, the Port of Houston handles a ton of vehicle imports and exports, so there is never a shortage of trucks in the area.

Pickups in Houston are fast. Most of the time we get a carrier assigned within 1 to 3 days. Sometimes it happens same day if the timing lines up right. There are so many carriers running through the Houston metro that you are rarely waiting long. The only time things slow down a little is during hurricane season from August to October when some carriers avoid the Gulf Coast. Even then it is usually just a day or two longer than normal.

Arriving in Mesa, AZ

Mesa is the eastern anchor of the Phoenix metro and carriers treat it as Phoenix for all practical purposes. I-60 runs through Mesa heading east toward Globe and connects to the broader Phoenix freeway system at I-10 and the Loop 202. Manheim Phoenix is located in Tolleson on the west side of the metro at 201 North 83rd Avenue, and ADESA has a location in Chandler just south of Mesa. IAA and Copart both have Phoenix area facilities. The dealer market across Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert, and the East Valley is substantial. Carriers running the I-10 corridor between California and Texas, and the I-17 and I-40 corridors heading north, have constant business in this metro.

Delivering to Mesa is easy. Carriers coming off I-10 from California or Texas, or dropping down I-17 from Flagstaff and the north, route naturally through the East Valley. Large haulers prefer the freeway-adjacent staging areas and commercial zones, which are plentiful in Mesa. The city is well suited for car haulers compared to denser urban environments. Deliveries to residential neighborhoods go smoothly and meetups are rarely required.

Pricing on This Route

Shipping a standard sedan from Houston to Mesa on open carrier currently estimates between $700 and $1000. That is based on the 1,220-mile distance and current market conditions.

Houston almost always runs at or below the national average. High carrier volume means more competition for your load and that keeps prices down. The huge number of dealerships and auctions in the area means there is constant demand, but there are also plenty of carriers to meet it. The only time you might see prices bump up a little is during hurricane season when some trucks reroute away from the Gulf. But even then we are talking small increases, not anything crazy.

Mesa prices are essentially Phoenix prices. This is one of the most competitive auto transport markets in the country. Lanes to Los Angeles, San Diego, Dallas, and Denver are extremely active. Winter snowbird season from November through April keeps carrier volume high in both directions. Summer pricing can tick up slightly because some carriers avoid the desert heat runs, but the market stays competitive. You are not paying a suburb premium here the way you might in other metros.
