Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Phoenix, Arizona to Flint, Michigan

Arizona to Michigan auto transport typically costs $1,100 to $1,600 for standard open carriers. Pricing is influenced by distance (about 1,900–2,100 miles), vehicle size, operability, fuel rates, and season.

It's usually cheaper to drive for shorter distances, but for long cross-country moves, shipping can become competitive or even cheaper when you factor in the "hidden" costs of driving (gas, hotels, food, wear-and-tear) versus the upfront shipping fee, especially if you're moving with others or have an unreliable car.

The cheapest way to ship a car to another state is usually open transport on a multi-car carrier, exposing your vehicle to the elements but costing significantly less than enclosed shipping. To save more, choose terminal-to-terminal service, be flexible with dates, book in advance, and compare quotes from multiple carriers like Montway Auto Transport, AmeriFreight, or Ship a Car Direct.
