Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from San Diego, California to Tucson, Arizona

Shipping a car from California to Arizona typically costs $500 to over $1,000, with most falling in the $800-$1000 range, depending on if you choose cheaper open transport ($500-$800) or pricier enclosed transport, your specific locations (e.g., Phoenix to LA is cheaper than Tucson to San Francisco), fuel costs, vehicle size, and booking time. Expect delivery in 1 to 6 days, as it's a relatively short, common route.

Budget: The shorter the distance, the more cost-effective it is to drive instead of ship your car. Regardless of the total distance, look at your total moving budget and how much you can afford to spend on car shipping services compared to a cross-country drive.

Selecting an open transport carrier is the cheapest way to ship your car. It costs an average of $0.93 less per mile compared to a closed carrier. Booking at least two weeks in advance can help you get the best price because it allows more drivers to bid on your job.
