Florida to Arizona Auto Transport
Shipping a Car From Florida to Arizona
Orlando to Phoenix is about 2,150 miles, west on I-10 across the Gulf Coast and Texas. Tucson actually comes first at about 2,035, and Pensacola cuts roughly 400 miles off the trip. It's four to five long days of driving.
Florida and Arizona are the country's two biggest retirement and snowbird states, and plenty of people try one and then move to the other. Many trade Florida's humidity and hurricanes for desert heat. We also ship for airmen moving from Eglin, Tyndall, and MacDill to Luke and Davis-Monthan, and soldiers heading to Fort Huachuca.

Timing
When to Ship Florida to Arizona
Snowbird season and summer heat set the timing here.
Spring Northbound Rush
March through May, trucks leaving Florida fill up fast. Book a couple of weeks ahead.
Fall Snowbird Season
October through December, Arizona-bound trucks are busy. Book early if you're heading out for the winter.
Summer Heat
Phoenix and Tucson regularly top 110°F, and West Texas isn't far behind. Make sure the battery and tires are in good shape.
Hurricane Season
June through November can delay pickups along the Florida and Gulf coasts. Keep a little slack in your dates.
Pricing
How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Car From Florida to Arizona?
Here's what moves the price between Florida and Arizona.
Distance
The Panhandle is about 1,700 miles from Phoenix. South Florida is closer to 2,365.
Season
Spring out of Florida and fall into Arizona are the busiest times. Summer is often the best value.
Delivery Area
Phoenix and Tucson suburbs are easy. Gated retirement communities may need a meeting spot.
Open or Enclosed
Open is the standard. Enclosed keeps sun and dust off a nicer car.
Vehicle Size
Pickups and full-size SUVs take more trailer space than sedans, so they cost more to ship.
Date Flexibility
A flexible window helps a lot during snowbird season.

Before You Ship & After You Arrive
A few Arizona-specific things worth knowing.
Registering in Arizona
New residents register with ADOT MVD. Out-of-state vehicles need a quick Level 1 inspection, and the Phoenix and Tucson areas require emissions testing for many vehicles. Check azdot.gov for current requirements.
Moving With the Military
We ship for airmen, soldiers, and families moving from Eglin, Hurlburt, Tyndall, and MacDill to Luke, Davis-Monthan, and Fort Huachuca.
Gated Communities
Sun City, Scottsdale, and many Tucson neighborhoods have gate rules for trucks. Share them when you book, or pick a nearby lot.
Florida Pickups
Gated communities, HOA truck rules, condo garages, and tight streets in places like Miami Beach and Key West can keep a carrier off your street. If so, the driver will set up a nearby meeting spot, usually a lot just off I-95, I-75, I-4, or the Turnpike.

Can you deliver to a gated retirement community in Arizona?
Usually, yes. Let us know the gate rules when you book. If trucks aren't allowed in, we'll pick a nearby meeting spot.
Does Arizona require an emissions test?
In the Phoenix and Tucson areas, many vehicles do. Out-of-state cars also need a quick Level 1 inspection when you register.
Is it cheaper to ship or drive from Florida to Arizona?
Driving 2,000 miles or more means four or five days, hotel nights, gas, and food. For most people, shipping costs about the same or less.
Can you ship a car from Arizona back to Florida?
Yes. Request a quote with your Arizona pickup address and your Florida delivery address. It's door-to-door either way.
Is my car insured during transport?
Yes. Every carrier we work with is required to carry active cargo insurance. Your car's condition is documented on the Bill of Lading at pickup and checked again at delivery. Personal items left in the vehicle aren't covered.
Do I have to pay upfront?
No. There's $0 due at booking. Once a carrier is assigned, you can pay a deposit and the rest to the driver at delivery by cash or check, or pay in full at that point.
