The Route
How Cars Get From Vermont to Arizona
Phoenix loads leave Burlington for Albany and run the New York Thruway west to Buffalo, then I-90 along Lake Erie to Cleveland, I-71 and I-70 across Ohio and Indiana to St. Louis, and I-44 and I-40 southwest through Tulsa, Oklahoma City, Amarillo, and Albuquerque to Flagstaff. From Flagstaff, I-17 drops off the rim into Phoenix.
Sedona is just off I-17, Mesa and Scottsdale are east of Phoenix, and Tucson is reached on I-25 and I-10 through Las Cruces.

Before You Ship & After You Arrive
What to know before your car heads to Arizona.
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.
Retirement Community Gates
Many Mesa, Sun City, and Green Valley communities keep car haulers out. The driver will meet you at the gate or clubhouse lot.
Salt to Sun
A car leaving a Vermont winter carries road salt. A wash on arrival keeps it from baking on in the desert sun.
Burlington Pickups
Burlington, Williston, Essex, and Shelburne are reached on I-89 and US-7, so carriers pass through regularly. Narrow streets in the Old North End and the Hill Section usually mean meeting at a lot near I-89.
