Everything You Need to Know About the State of Arizona (AZ)
Arizona was originally part of New Mexico; however, the land was yielded to the United States in 1848 and became a separate territory in 1863. On February 14, 1912, Arizona became the last of the 48 contiguous United States to be admitted to the union.
Arizona is located in the southwestern region of the United States. It is also part of the Western and the Mountain states. Arizona is the 6th largest and the 14th most populous of the 50 states. Arizona shares the Four Corners region with Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico; its other neighboring states are Nevada and California to the west and the Mexican states of Sonora and Baja California to the south and southwest. Both the capital city and the largest city is Phoenix.
Arizona is nicknamed “The Grand Canyon State”. It is also well-known as “The Copper State” and “The Valentine State”. The state tree is the Palo Verde, the state bird is the Cactus Wren and the state flower is the Saguaro Cactus Blossom. The state motto is “God Enriches” (Latin: Ditat Deus).
Arizona’s Grand Canyon, which was formed by the Colorado River over a period of 3 to 6 million years, is 277 miles long, up to 18 miles wide and one mile deep. Almost 5 million people visit the Grand Canyon National Park each year.
Arizona has the greatest percentage of its acreage designated as Indian tribal land in the United States.
Oraibi, a Hopi Indian village dating back to at least 1150 AD, is believed to be the oldest continuously inhabited settlement in the United States.
The official state flower is the Saguaro Cactus Blossom. The flower blooms in May and June in the middle of the night and closes the next day—surviving only 18 hours for pollination by nocturnal animals like bats and moths. The blossom grows on the Saguaro Cactus, which can reach more than 50 feet tall and live for over 200 years.
Navajo Indians from Arizona were enlisted to transmit secret communications for the U.S. Marines after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor in 1941. Known as Navajo Code Talkers, these young men created an oral code the enemy was unable to decipher, fulfilling a crucial role during World War II and saving countless lives.
Arizona is one of only two U.S. states that do not observe Daylight Saving Time. The one exception is the area occupied by the Navajo Nation in the northeast region of the state.
Arizona’s diverse climate and geography can yield both the highest and lowest temperatures in the country within the same day.
Arizona’s flag features a copper-colored star, acknowledging the state’s role as the leading copper producer in the United States.
Arizona Vehicle Shipping
Are you thinking about moving to Arizona or do just need a change of environment for a short time? Whether you are moving to Arizona for business or pleasure, it would be a good idea to transport your vehicle. You should use the services of a reliable auto transport company to safely ship your car.
Type of Auto Transport Carriers
There are two major types of carriers: open carrier transport and closed carrier transport
Open Carrier Transport
In open carrier transport, your car would be mounted on the back of an open trailer and tightly secured for safety. In this kind of carrier, there is no shield protecting your car from the elements and unpredictably of bad weather. However, this method is cheaper and several cars can be transported at once.
Enclosed Carrier Transport
Your vehicle would be placed inside an enclosed container and it would be protected from bad weather and road debris. If you are shipping an expensive car or a classic, this method is the better option. The added protection comes with extra cost and that’s why it costs more to ship your car this way.
Cost of Shipping
Several factors affect how much it will cost to ship your car to Arizona. Here are the major factors:
Type of Vehicle
The kind of vehicle will influence the cost of shipping. Let’s take the size of your vehicle for instance; it would cost more to transport a truck than a smaller car. The size and weight of the vehicle affect the fuel consumption of the auto carrier. Also, larger vehicles take up more space; you should inform the shipping company about the kind of vehicle you want to transport.
Whether your car is operable or not also affects the cost of shipping. An operable vehicle can easily be loaded unto an auto carrier. On the other hand, inoperable cars require special types of equipment to load the car onto the carrier, which is why it costs a bit more to ship inoperable cars.
Distance
Distance is one of the major factors that affect the cost of shipping a car. The longer the journey the more it’ll cost to ship your vehicle due to an increase in fuel consumption and mileage. The distance also affects how long your delivery would take.
Type of Carrier Used and Delivery Type
Transporting your vehicle in an open carrier is cheaper than using an enclosed carrier. The location of delivery also affects the cost of transportation. Your vehicle can be delivered to a terminal in Arizona and it could also be delivered directly to your home or office. It costs more to deliver your vehicle to a particular address than to the terminal.
Time of the Year
A lot of people schedule their travel for summertime; auto transport companies are busiest during this period. It is more expensive to ship a car during summer. Also, weather conditions affect the cost of shipping because some areas are more susceptible to bad weather, and the shipping company might charge you more to ship your car. Having a flexible delivery schedule can help you get better quotes.
Qualities of a Good Transport Company
They Provide you with Free Online Quotes
Visit the company’s website to check if you can get free quotes easily online. Most auto transport companies have this feature on their website where you would be asked to supply the origin of the car and the location you want it delivered to get your quote. It is always a good idea to compare the cost of shipping of different companies to have an estimate of how much it would cost you to ship your car to Arizona. Also, have in mind that cheaper does not always mean better. Pick a company based on competence to ensure your vehicle is in safe hands.
They Must be Legitimate
Check if the company has all the necessary permits and licenses to operate. The company must be registered and it should possess all necessary verification documents. Also, make sure the company has experience delivering vehicles to Arizona; they should be familiar with the routes as well as the regulations of the area.
They Should Come up During an Online Search
The company should come up on various online platforms. You should research online to find the best companies. Various search engines have a way of bringing up the most visited sites on a particular subject matter. You can check online for reviews about companies, this is a good way of knowing how they operate. During your research, you should check their success rate and if they have any unresolved issues from previous clients.
Good Insurance Policy
Check the insurance coverage of the company. Sometimes unplanned events are encountered on the way, and the auto transport company often cannot be responsible for such uncontrollable events. You can get additional insurance to give you that extra sense of security in the event of certain unpleasant events.
We at SAC are reliable and have all the necessary qualities of a good transport company to provide you with all vehicle transport solutions required to deliver your vehicle safely to Arizona. You can always give us a call at (866) 821-4555 to get a free quote.

I contracted with Ship a Car to pick up and deliver a motorcycle. Steve was great to work with. They arranged for the motorcycle to be picked up on a Saturday and it was delivered to me 900 miles away, the next day (as Sunday). I was amazed. Price was reasonable and they far exceeded my expectations. I have used other motorcycle shippers in the past but this was the best experience by far. I will definitely use them again.

Excellent communication from Ship-A-Car Direct (Stefan and others). They lined up ARK Transport, who made an uneventful trip from Colorado to Ohio. Car was delivered at 10:30 PM (No problem for me, but I was unable to take good receiving inspection photos. Driver was very careful unloading car. No damage during transit.

We used this broker, after getting rid of another who was not straight with us. Ship A Car, called us, gave us a date, the trucker (Exit-15) picked up the car that day, and delivered the car half way cross the country in 3-4 days. All worked out according to plan. The driver of the truck was a cool hard working guy. There were 10 cars on his rig, we were lucky to be the last car on and the first car off. We have read email reviews and saw all the tales out there. I am sure there are good and bad stories. We are a good story, it all worked on time, we got the car to a place where the driver could pick it up. This rig is too big for some small roads. And he called us 8 hours a head of drop of time, and met us in front of the hotel where he unloaded our 2007 Camry.

I used Ship A Car when I moved across the country. Their service was wonderful. They communicated well with me, they were friendly, and they kept me in the loop on what was going on. The only problem was that the company they ended up hiring for shipping my vehicle was a problem. But when I told them about the problem they were very nice about it, and they handled it very well. I highly recommend them.

Using Ship A Car was a great experience. A real professional team. Cost was reasonable. Communication was great. Danny the coordinator was a great rep for the company and easily accommodated a continuing string of schedule changes I needed. The transport team, Sander and Val, gave me several calls to keep me posted of timing and location. A great service that I honestly would recommended.

I was transporting a car I bought from an elderly lady as a surprise for my husband. Steve H at Ship a car made this whole experience really simple and easy, no stress. He is a great communicator and friendly to deal with. The transport guy Bruno was of a similiar mindset and we had the car delivered in perfect condition. I didn't make the call until Thursday afternoon and received the car on Saturday morning. Fantastic service, I couldn't be happier!

I cannot say enough good things about this company! A+ service. A+ pricing. A+ speed. After realizing that my deployment to Texas who is going to last longer than four weeks, I was tired of using Lyft and I knew I couldn’t be without my motorcycle. I requested a quote from their webpage along with five or six other companies. Paul Murphy responded quickly to that email with the second to lowest cost to get my bike 1,230 miles from Ocala, Florida to Pharr, Texas and then followed up the next day with a voicemail. After comparing prices and reading the reviews, I knew this was the company for me. They did not disappoint! I spoke with Paul at the end of the business day on Thursday and within 15 minutes he was calling me to inform me that he had already placed my order with driver Eric Andrews of Andrews Transportation LLC to be delivered 3 days later on Monday. I spoke with Eric on Saturday to confirm where my bike would need to be left. He too was very professional and easy to work with. To my surprise, Eric delivered my bike a day early on Sunday morning. Thats right, my bike was delivered from call to drop in 2.5 days!!! Both Paul & Eric’s professionalism may me feel comfortable that my prize possession was in good hands. I would 100% recommend this company to anyone wanting to move theirs. Thanks guys.

I was looking for a way to send my car from Minnesota to Denver and contacted several transport companies. I was very nervous about sending a car that was one year old and I had taken very good care of with someone/company that I had not ever met and or had any previous experience with. This was the first time that I had ever done something like this so I read all the reviews from each company. I called Ship a Car Inc. and got a real person by the name of Tynesha Jenkins who was a breath of fresh air she was professional at all times took the time to make sure that all my questions and or concerns were addressed. Her follow-up was excellent and I really like that this company has structure in selecting the actual transporter, pick-up and delivery process. I’m a very detail oriented person and I was impressed when the person came to pick my car up. Ivan from IV Auto LLC was dispatched to pick my car up he called an hour ahead of time to let me know when he would be arriving. He was very nice and professional and completed a very detail car inspection report that we both signed off on so there would not be any surprises when the car was received on the other end. My family in Denver received the car in the same condition that it was in before the transport and they echoed the same thing that Ivan is a good man that cares. I will in the future without a doubt call only Ship a Car Inc. to handle my cars and recommend them to my family and friends.
