Reliable & Save Auto Transport for 25+ Years
Transparency in pricing is important to us. Several factors influence the final cost of shipping a car over the significant distance from Phoenix to Philadelphia. Here's what contributes to your quote:
Distance: The approximately 2,400-mile journey is a primary cost driver.
Vehicle Size and Type: Larger or heavier vehicles (SUVs, trucks) cost more to ship than standard sedans.
Vehicle Condition: Operable vehicles are generally cheaper to ship than non-running vehicles, which require special equipment.
Transport Type: Open transport is the standard, more affordable option. Enclosed transport offers greater protection from weather and road debris but comes at a higher price (recommended for classic, luxury, or specialty vehicles).
Season and Demand: Shipping costs can fluctuate based on seasonal demand (e.g., snowbird season, holidays) and fuel prices. The intense Arizona heat, particularly in summer, can sometimes impact scheduling and carrier availability, potentially influencing cost.
Pickup/Delivery Locations: Extremely rural or difficult-to-access locations might incur additional fees compared to major metro areas.
While we might not always offer the rock-bottom cheapest quote, our focus is on delivering true value through trustworthy service, transparent pricing, and consistent updates throughout the long journey.
