You can save a lot by choosing open transport rather than enclosed. Auto dealerships safely receive vehicles from open car carrier trailers daily. To save money we recommend this option unless of course you are transporting an irreplaceable luxury, high end sports car, or antique vehicle. Other important factors include the size, weight and type of your vehicle. The body style such as roadster car, off-road vehicle, sports car, compact car and crossover you are shipping may also impact your transport rate. Usually the larger the vehicle the higher the transport cost. If your auto has any non-standard accessories that have altered the width, height, or length of your car or truck this could also increase the cost of shipping. Below are some of the accessories that can impact cost.

• Camper trailers
• Side steps
• Running boards
• Running lights
• Nerf bars
• Trailer hitch
• Extended side mirrors
• Roof rack
• 4 wheel drive

Arizona auto transport rates are calculated by the mile and rates change dependent upon the cost of fuel. Often you can save money by driving your vehicle to a shipping terminal and picking the vehicle up at another shipping terminal near your delivery address. This method can save you a lot of money but if you need or prefer door to door auto transport make sure that your pick-up and delivery locations are accessible by a full-size tractor trailer. You must inform the shipping company if your auto is inoperable. If the auto you are transporting is not operational this will significantly raise your rate. The time of year also affects the rates of shipping a vehicle, summer is high season and the rates are increased. The method of payment you choose to use for your vehicle delivery can sometimes affect your rate. Many companies prefer COD, but most carriers will also accept credit cards. Please check with the company first if you desire to pay with a check.

The best way to avoid any problems with your Arizona car shipping is by careful preparation. Be sure that both your delivery and pick up addresses are correct. Remember that weight is a major factor in your rate. Do not use your vehicle as a method to ship other personal items and have only a quarter tank of gas or less in your vehicle at the time of pick up. You can ship an inoperable vehicle, but it will be more expensive. Vehicles that are not steerable and/or do not have operable brakes will cost significantly more. You MUST inform the carrier of the vehicles condition and be prepared to pay a higher rate. Many drivers will not transport an inoperable vehicle if they have not been first notified.

When your vehicle is picked up you will complete a bill of lading. It is extremely important to complete this document accurately. You and the driver will inspect your vehicle and document any damage to the vehicle, such as paint scratches, dents, broken windshields, etc. When your vehicle is delivered be sure that you or your authorized representative, carefully check the entire vehicle prior to signing the bill of lading. Failing to do this can make it very difficult if not impossible to process a claim against the driver or shipping company. We carefully choose the best auto shipping carriers in the business but should any unexpected issue or problems come up you should definitely report them to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.

Communication is critical to an easy auto transport. Our Arizona auto transport partners will attempt to keep you informed every step of the way. Our partners typically deliver on-time, however occasionally situations created by weather, road conditions, or other traffic problems are possible. Keeping an open line of communication to your carrier or driver can help eliminate a lot of stress.

When selecting door to door transport services, local road conditions can impact pickup and delivery times and locations. Most auto transport deliveries are completed by semi-trailers. Big rigs are difficult to maneuver on many roads and streets. Arizona has 144,393 miles of interstates, highways and streets with many rural roads and other road conditions that can prevent or limit access for large trucks. If the pickup and/or drop off addresses have any obstructions that could prevent a large truck from accessing either location, we recommend you choose a different location. This can easily be resolved by coordinating with the driver. Selecting a shopping plaza or other open area is usually the solution. Traffic can also impact pickup and/or drop-off schedules. We recommend you check road and traffic conditions for delays. Check here to find current traffic conditions in Arizona. Below are some of the road conditions to consider when selecting a pickup or drop-off location.

• Extreme grades
• Dead end streets
• Low hanging tree branches
• Limited Access Avenues
• Low overpasses
• Low hanging phone cables
• Weight restricted bridges
• Narrow bridges
• Road construction

With an average of 300 sunny days a year in Arizona, car shipping and delivery schedules are seldom impacted by weather. The weather is usually divided in two regions, the mountains and higher elevation of northern Arizona and the deserts of the southern areas. The northern mountainous area sees moderate snowfall each winter averaging 60 inches per year that can impact shipping schedules. The northern areas get 30 inches of rain annually while the southern desert areas only average 9 inches of rain and no snow. Traffic and dust storms can affect delivery and pick-up schedules in cities such as Phoenix. Auto shipping businesses are not often affected by weather events in the southern areas.
