Arkansas to New Mexico Auto Transport
Shipping a Car From Arkansas to New Mexico
Little Rock to Albuquerque is about 885 miles, and it's I-40 the whole way: Fort Smith, Oklahoma City, Amarillo, and over the Llano Estacado into the Rio Grande Valley. Most people drive it in two days.
A lot of our moves on this route are military. Little Rock AFB and Cannon AFB near Clovis both fly C-130s, so airmen and families move between them often. We also ship for people heading to Kirtland, Holloman, and White Sands, engineers taking jobs at Sandia and Los Alamos, and students at UNM and NMSU.
Door-to-door, a final-price quote, and $0 due at booking.

Timing
When to Ship Arkansas to New Mexico
Plains storms, high-desert snow, and one big balloon festival set the timing.
Summer PCS Season
May through August is the busiest time for moves to Cannon, Kirtland, and Holloman. Book as soon as you have orders.
Winter on I-40
Snow and ice between Amarillo and Albuquerque can close I-40 for a few hours. Leave some room from December through February.
Balloon Fiesta
Albuquerque fills up for the first two weeks of October. Deliveries on the north side go easier outside fiesta dates.
Spring
Wind season in New Mexico and storm season in Oklahoma. Expect the odd weather delay.
Pricing
How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Car From Arkansas to New Mexico?
Here's what moves the price on this route.
Distance
Eastern New Mexico is about 700 miles from Little Rock. Farmington is closer to 1,065.
A Busy Corridor
I-40 is one of the busiest truck routes in the country, which helps keep this route competitive.
Delivery Area
Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and Las Cruces are on main routes. Taos, the Four Corners, and rural towns take more planning.
Open or Enclosed
Open is the standard. Enclosed is worth it for classic cars and lowriders.
Vehicle Size
Pickups and full-size SUVs take more trailer space than sedans, so they cost more to ship.
Date Flexibility
A flexible window lets us catch a truck already heading west on I-40.

Before You Ship & After You Arrive
A few New Mexico-specific things worth knowing.
Registering in New Mexico
New residents have 30 days to register with the MVD. Out-of-state vehicles need a VIN inspection, and cars in Bernalillo County (Albuquerque) need an emissions test. Check mvd.newmexico.gov for current requirements.
Moving With the Military
We ship for airmen, soldiers, and families moving from Little Rock AFB to Cannon, Kirtland, and Holloman, and to White Sands Missile Range.
Tribal Land and Rural Deliveries
Many reservation and rural roads are tough for a big carrier. The driver may meet you in the nearest town.
Base Housing Pickups
Little Rock AFB housing has rules for commercial trucks. We'll work with you on a gate or a nearby meeting spot.
