Choose Your Transport Method: Open vs. Enclosed
For the long haul from New York to Arizona, choosing the right transport method is key. Many of our customers on this route are seasonal travelers; learn more about Auto Transport for Snowbirds.
Open Carrier Transport
This is the most economical choice and is used for the vast majority of shipments. Your car will be transported on a multi-car trailer. While exposed to the elements, it is a safe and efficient way to move standard vehicles across the country.
Enclosed Carrier Transport
If you are shipping a high-value vehicle, antique, or convertible, enclosed transport offers superior protection. It shields your car from the dust, sand, and intense sun often encountered on the route to Arizona.
