2 J's Auto Transport

Arizona Auto Transport Company

2 J's Auto Transport is the top-rated car shipping company in Arizona, offering the fastest and easiest way to ship your vehicle to or from Arizona.

Step 1 of 3 - Destination

Welcome to 2 J’s Auto Transport, one of the leading auto transport companies serving Arizona. Whether you’re a snowbird shipping your vehicle to Scottsdale for the winter, relocating to the Phoenix metro, moving a car from Tucson, or coordinating a collector car shipment for Barrett-Jackson, we provide reliable, affordable, and fully insured auto transportation across Arizona and nationwide.

Arizona is the #2 snowbird auto transport destination after Florida, with hundreds of thousands of seasonal residents shipping vehicles from the Midwest and Northeast to the Phoenix metro every fall. The state’s highway network is built around I-10 (east-west: Phoenix to Tucson to LA and El Paso), I-17 (north-south: Phoenix to Flagstaff), and I-40 (east-west across northern AZ: Flagstaff to Albuquerque). The I-10/I-17 interchange in Phoenix is one of the busiest auto transport junctions in the Southwest.

As a federally licensed auto transport broker (MC# 799000, USDOT# 02349019), we dispatch from a vetted network of FMCSA-compliant carriers. We strictly follow USDOT and FMCSA guidelines, fully licensed and insured.

Shipping your car for the first time to or from Arizona? Here’s a complete guide on how to transport a car.

Shipping From Arizona - What You Should Know

Road Network & Carrier Routes

Arizona’s interstate system centers on Phoenix (5th largest US city). I-10 runs east through Tucson to El Paso and west to LA. I-17 connects Phoenix north to Flagstaff (1,100 ft to 7,000 ft elevation). I-40 crosses northern Arizona through Flagstaff. I-19 runs Tucson to Mexican border (Nogales). Loop 101/202/303 serve Phoenix metro’s massive sprawl.
Carrier availability is excellent in Phoenix metro and along I-10. Northern AZ (Flagstaff, Prescott, Sedona) has moderate traffic. Rural AZ (eastern highlands, western desert, Navajo Nation) has very limited access.

Common Pickup & Delivery Areas

Phoenix metro (Scottsdale, Mesa, Tempe, Chandler, Gilbert, Glendale, Peoria, Surprise, Goodyear, Buckeye) Primary hub. 60+ mile sprawl. Excellent interstate access. ASU (Tempe) drives student demand. Scottsdale/Paradise Valley = luxury/exotic market.

Scottsdale / Paradise Valley Epicenter of AZ luxury and collector car market. Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale (January), world’s largest collector car auction. Year-round enclosed transport demand.

Tucson metro (Marana, Oro Valley, Sahuarita, Green Valley) I-10/I-19 access. University of Arizona student demand. Green Valley, major snowbird community. Davis-Monthan AFB, military PCS.

Flagstaff / Northern AZ I-40/I-17 junction at 7,000 ft. Snow November-March (unlike Phoenix). NAU student demand. Grand Canyon gateway, RV/fifth wheel demand.

Prescott / Sedona / Payson Mountain communities. Not on interstates (SR-69/179/87). 24-48 hours extra vs Phoenix.

Yuma Far southwest, CA border. I-8 access. MCAS Yuma Yuma Proving Ground, military PCS. Winter snowbird community.

Sierra Vista / Fort Huachuca Southeastern AZ. SR-90 access. Army installation = PCS traffic. 24-48 hours extra.

Navajo Nation / Northeast AZ Largest US reservation. Very limited carrier access. Unpaved roads common. 72+ hours extra. Meeting point on I-40 or US-191.

Typical Shipping Costs

  • Arizona → California (LA): $400–$600
  • Arizona → Nevada (Las Vegas): $300–$450
  • Arizona → Texas (Dallas): $650–$900
  • Arizona → Colorado (Denver): $550–$750
  • Arizona → New Mexico (ABQ): $350–$500
  • Arizona → Florida (Miami): $900–$1,200
  • Arizona → Illinois (Chicago): $850–$1,100
  • Arizona → New York (NYC): $1,100–$1,450
  • Arizona → Washington (Seattle): $800–$1,050\
  • Arizona → Georgia (Atlanta): $900–$1,150

Enclosed 30-40% higher. Snowbird season (Oct-Apr) = 15-25% spikes on Midwest/NE→AZ routes.

Arizona Vehicle Regulations

Registration: 15 days one of the shortest in the US.

Vehicle License Tax (VLT): AZ does NOT charge traditional sales tax on vehicles. Instead charges VLT based on assessed value, paid annually with registration.

No annual safety inspection. No front plate required (rear only).

Emissions: Eliminated in most areas. Only certain Maricopa/Pima County ZIPs still require testing check AZ MVD.

Plates during transport: Not needed. We ship with no plates, expired plates, or out-of-state plates.

Arizona-Specific Transport Considerations

Extreme summer heat (Jun-Sep): Phoenix regularly exceeds 110-115°F. Battery failure risk increases dramatically. Interior temps on open carrier in direct desert sun can exceed 160°F.

Enclosed transport strongly recommended for high-value vehicles during summer.

Desert remoteness: 100+ miles between services on some routes. Rural/off-highway pickups require careful planning.

Elevation change: Phoenix 1,100 ft → Flagstaff 7,000 ft. Weather can go from 110°F desert to snowstorm in a few hours’ drive. Carriers on I-17 experience this daily.

Barrett-Jackson & collector culture: Scottsdale is a top US luxury/collector car market. Barrett-Jackson, Bonhams, RM Sotheby’s, Mecum all hold AZ auctions. Year-round enclosed demand.

Military PCS: Luke AFB (Glendale), Davis-Monthan AFB (Tucson), Fort Huachuca (Sierra Vista), Yuma Proving Ground, MCAS Yuma. Consistent PCS volume.

Navajo Nation: Largest US reservation covering northeast AZ. Unpaved roads, very limited carrier access. Meeting points on I-40 or US-191 standard.

Joyce was amazing to work with from start to finish . My daughter was moving alone from Las Vegas to Chicago and the dates were constantly fluctuating. Joyce was so patient with me , understanding and empathetic to our needs . She made us feel like family . We used Sherpa years ago , and her customer service and communication was way beyond Sherpas ( and they gave excellent service as well, but Joyce blew them out of the water ) The price was competitive with the other carriers , but it really was her personality and customer service that sealed the deal . I would highly recommend using 2 Js auto transport over any of the more popular auto transporters. I spoke to atleast 5 other carriers before choosing 2js transport ( they were highly recommended by my brother , he used in past to get a car from California to Florida ) and I’m so glad we decided to use them . It was seamless and again the open line of communication was exceptional ! I can’t say enough great things about the whole process other than I would pick them hands down over any other carrier !

Joyce and John are such a pleasure to work with. There are a lot of scams in this industry and thankfully this is a family owned company where they actually take care of you like you’re part of their own family. I would highly recommend using their services. Vehicle was picked up and delivered when they said it was, and it was delivered in perfect condition.

This company is very professional and had great communication. I was a little nervous about transporting my vehicle for the first time but they stood behind everything they said they would and followed through from beginning to end. They were very fairly priced amongst competitors, readily available anytime I called or had questions and they were extremely helpful. I would use them again in a heartbeat. Much thanks to 2Js!

What our other platform clients are saying about us

Devon B

I recently used 2 J’s Auto Transport to transport my car across the country, and I couldn’t be happier with the service! From the very beginning, the team was professional and responsive, answering all my questions and providing a detailed quote with no hidden fees. The pickup was smooth, and they kept me updated throughout the entire process. My car arrived in perfect condition and even ahead of schedule! The driver was friendly and handled everything with care. I highly recommend Joyce and John for anyone looking for reliable and efficient auto transport services. They truly exceeded my expectations!

I buy and sell construction equipment all over the US and always go to 2 J’s for long distance transport. They are able to find excellent rates on partial loads within a day or two. The drivers they send are always very professional and helpful. I’ve received quotes from other dispatchers and sometimes drivers offer their services directly, but they can rarely offer compete with 2 J’s pricing or timely service.

You guys were awesome. Picked up on time, dropped off on time as promised. I was returning customer. I had used their service a year and a half back. They were good at that time and this time too they were fantastic. I was fortunate to have got an enclosed truck for the price of open. Seems they had a truck passing on my dates and they gladly put me there. Thank you, John. Thank you, ​Joyce. I would highly recommend their services.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is the cheapest way to ship a car in Arizona?

Open-carrier transport is the most affordable option. At 2 J’s Auto Transport, we reduce costs by grouping vehicles heading the same way. No hidden fees, just reliable service.

Can I ship a non-running car from Arizona?

Yes! 2 J’s Auto Transport can safely ship non-running (inoperable) vehicles from Arizona. Just let us know in advance (special equipment like winches or liftgates may be required). We’ll handle the rest.

Is my vehicle insured during transport?

Yes, your vehicle will be covered by insurance during transport. All licensed auto transport carriers are required to carry liability and cargo insurance to protect your vehicle while it’s in transit. However, coverage limits can vary, so it’s a good idea to ask the carrier for a copy of their insurance certificate and review what’s included. Keep in mind that personal items left in the car are typically not covered. For added protection, you can also check with your personal auto insurance provider.

Can I ship my car if I’m not available in person?

Yes. You can designate a representative (friend, neighbor, agent) to handle pickup and delivery paperwork, must be 18-years or older and have government issued ID.

Do mountain routes affect shipping times?

Yes, mountain routes can impact shipping times due to slower driving speeds and challenging road conditions. 2 J’s Auto Transport plans routes carefully to minimize delays and keep your vehicle on schedule.

Do you offer auto transport service to all U.S. states and cities?

Yes, we provide auto shipping services across all 50 U.S. states and almost every U.S. city. Pricing may vary based on distance, shipping method, season, weather conditions, pickup and delivery locations, fuel costs, and whether the car is operable or not.

To make things even easier, we’ve also gathered some helpful tips and information that can guide you through the process and help you avoid common issues. Whether you’re shipping for the first time or you’ve done it before, this resource is here to make sure you’re prepared and confident whenever you’re ready to ship your vehicle.
