Across the Desert on I-10
I-10 ties Arizona and Texas together: Phoenix, Tucson, Las Cruces, El Paso, then on to San Antonio and Houston. For Dallas–Fort Worth, carriers split off onto I-20 in West Texas. It’s a long, open route with few delays outside the cities, and carriers heading between California and the Southeast use it constantly.
Who Ships This Lane
- Winter visitors. Texans and others who spend the winter in the Phoenix area. Snowbird car shipping.
- People relocating. Phoenix and the big Texas metros are among the fastest-growing in the country, with plenty of moves between them. Car shipping for movers.
- Military. Bases in Tucson, Glendale, El Paso and San Antonio mean regular PCS moves on this route. Military car shipping.
Open or Enclosed?
Open transport is the standard choice and the lower price. Desert sun, dust and blowing sand are hard on a show-quality finish, so collectors often choose enclosed transport, especially to and from Scottsdale.
Route Questions
How long does it take to ship a car from Arizona to Texas?
Phoenix to Dallas or Houston is about 1,100 miles, so it’s a multi-day trip for the carrier. Your exact pickup window and transit time come with your quote.
Does summer heat matter on this route?
Desert temperatures on I-10 can top 110°F in summer. Carriers run this lane year-round, but if you’re shipping a classic or a car with delicate paint, enclosed transport keeps it out of the sun.
Is it busier in winter?
Heading into Arizona, yes. October through December brings winter visitors to Phoenix, Tucson and Mesa, and March through May is busier heading back out. Book a few weeks ahead in those months.
How much does it cost to ship a car between Arizona and Texas?
It depends on the exact cities, the vehicle, open or enclosed, and the season. We don’t post made-up averages. Get an exact quote or call (424) 453-1800.
