SAFE, RELIABLE VEHICLE TRANSPORT TO & FROM PHOENIX
Phoenix is one of the busiest auto transport markets in the Southwest, driven by a unique mix of factors: massive population growth pulling residents in from California and across the country, a huge seasonal snowbird population, and a position right on I-10 connecting it to Los Angeles in one direction and Texas in the other. NexGen Auto Transport has been shipping vehicles to and from Phoenix since 2021, and we know the Valley’s sprawling layout and seasonal rhythms well.

Whether you're relocating to Phoenix for the lifestyle, shipping a car for the winter season in Scottsdale, buying a vehicle at the Barrett-Jackson auction, or moving out of the Valley entirely, we make the process simple.

Phoenix Car Shipping Services
Open Auto Transport
Open transport is the standard, most affordable way to ship a vehicle. Your car rides on an
exposed multi-car carrier alongside other vehicles. With Phoenix's position on major Southwest
corridors, open transport here is well-served and competitively priced year-round.
Enclosed Auto Transport
Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, and the broader Phoenix area have a significant concentration of
classic car collectors and high-end vehicle owners. Enclosed transport keeps your car in a fully
covered trailer, protected from desert dust, intense sun, and road debris — especially valuable
on long desert highway hauls.
Door-to-Door Car Shipping
We pick up and deliver at your address in most Phoenix-area locations. The Valley's sprawling,
suburban-style layout actually makes door-to-door service easier here than in denser cities.
Gated communities and certain HOA-restricted neighborhoods may require a pickup spot just
outside the property, which we coordinate with you in advance.
Expedited Car Shipping
Need fast service? Our expedited option moves pickup to within 24 to 48 hours. Useful for last-
minute relocations, dealer transfers, or auction purchases with tight pickup deadlines.
Snowbird Vehicle Transport
Every year, thousands of snowbirds ship their cars to the Phoenix area for the winter and back
home in the spring. We handle this cycle constantly — if you're heading to Scottsdale or
Phoenix from the Midwest or Northeast in the fall, or returning home in April, we can ship your
vehicle both directions.
Collector and Classic Car Shipping
The Barrett-Jackson Auction in Scottsdale is one of the most famous classic car events in the
world. We work with buyers, sellers, and collectors shipping vehicles to and from this event and
other Valley car shows every year.

Shipping a Car In and Around the Phoenix Metro
Phoenix, Scottsdale, Mesa, Tempe, Chandler, Gilbert, and Glendale are all part of one of the
most active auto transport markets in the Southwest. The Valley sits directly on I-10 and I-17,
and carriers pass through constantly heading east toward Texas, west toward California, and
north toward Utah and Colorado.
Most Phoenix-area neighborhoods are accessible for standard car carriers given the suburban,
grid-style layout common throughout the Valley. If you live in a gated community or a
neighborhood with particularly narrow streets, we'll coordinate the pickup location when the
carrier is assigned.
- Nexgen Auto Transport
Shipping from Scottsdale, Mesa, and Surrounding Areas
Scottsdale, known for its golf courses, resorts, and classic car culture, has excellent carrier
access. Mesa, Tempe, and Chandler in the East Valley benefit from US-60 and the 101 Loop.
Glendale and Peoria in the West Valley are well-served via I-17 and the 101.
Surprise, Buckeye, and other rapidly growing West Valley communities can be serviced as well,
with pickup windows generally comparable to the rest of the metro given the Valley's overall
accessibility.

Preparing Your Car for Shipping in Portland
- Wash the car thoroughly before pickup — Phoenix dust makes it hard to see existing
marks otherwise - Take photos of all four sides of the vehicle before the driver arrives
- Remove all personal items from the interior and trunk
- Leave about a quarter tank of fuel
- Disable any toll transponders to avoid charges during transport
- Confirm the car starts and runs, or let us know in advance if it doesn't
- Fold in side mirrors and retract antennas where possible
- Review and sign the Bill of Lading carefully, noting any pre-existing damage

Who Ships Cars to and from Phoenix?
Classic Car Buyers and Auction Attendees
The Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale auction draws buyers from across the country. If you purchased
a vehicle there and need it shipped home, or if you're consigning a vehicle to the auction, we
handle these pickups regularly.
Snowbirds and Seasonal Residents
Scottsdale, Sun City, and the broader Phoenix area draw retirees and seasonal residents from
the Midwest and Northeast every fall. Shipping your car down in October and back in April is
cheaper and easier than driving both ways.
People Relocating to the Valley
Phoenix is one of the top relocation destinations in the country, drawing residents from
California and across the nation. Shipping the car so you can fly or drive separately makes the
move far less stressful.
College Students
Arizona State University, with its massive Tempe campus, draws students from across the
country. Shipping a car to campus rather than making a cross-country drive is a practical choice
for many families.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to ship a car to or from Phoenix?
Rates start around $380 for short Southwest hauls and go up to $1,400 for cross-country routes.
Your exact price depends on the origin and destination, vehicle size, and transport type. Call
(832) 886-1321 for a quote.
How long does it take to ship a car to Phoenix?
Las Vegas or San Diego can be done in 1–2 days. Cross-country to New York typically takes
6–8 days. We provide an estimated delivery window when you book.
Is my vehicle covered by insurance during shipping?
Yes. All carriers in our network are required by the FMCSA to carry cargo insurance. We also
recommend photographing your vehicle before pickup.
Do you handle Barrett-Jackson auction pickups in Scottsdale?
Yes. We work with buyers and consignors shipping vehicles to and from the Barrett-Jackson
Scottsdale auction every year. Enclosed transport is available for high-value lots.
Do I need to be at the pickup and delivery?
Yes, someone must be present to sign the Bill of Lading at both ends. You can designate
someone else if you can't be there yourself.
Can you ship a non-running car from Phoenix?
Yes. Inoperable vehicles require special equipment and usually cost a bit more. Just let us know
upfront when you request your quote.
What's the difference between open and enclosed shipping?
Open transport uses an exposed multi-car trailer — it's affordable and the most common
method. Enclosed uses a covered trailer, protecting your vehicle from dust, sun, and road
debris.
Can I leave items in the car when it ships?
Carriers are not liable for personal belongings, and some will refuse to carry vehicles with items
inside. We recommend removing everything before shipping.
How far in advance should I book Phoenix car shipping?
Book at least 1–2 weeks in advance. For snowbird season (October through March), consider
booking even earlier as carrier availability tightens.
What happens if my car arrives with damage?
Note any damage on the delivery paperwork immediately. The carrier's insurance covers
transport-related damage. NexGen helps you work through the claims process.
Do you service Scottsdale, Mesa, and the rest of the Valley?
Yes. We cover the entire Phoenix metro, including Scottsdale, Mesa, Tempe, Chandler, Gilbert,
and Glendale.
Can Phoenix dealerships use NexGen for inventory transport?
Yes. We work with dealerships and remarketing companies throughout the Phoenix area.
What's the cheapest way to ship a car from Phoenix?
Open transport with flexible pickup dates is the most affordable option. Avoiding peak snowbird
season (November through February) can also help with pricing.
Is NexGen licensed to operate in Phoenix?
Yes. We are FMCSA licensed (MC# 1482694, USDOT# 3969190), bonded, insured, and BBB
Accredited with an A+ rating.
