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 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.

I used Ship A Car Inc to transport my car from California to Wisconsin. After reading a few reviews, yes, the transport truck could be a double decker truck with several cars. Therefore, the driver will ask you to meet him/her at a location near your home...This was my first time shipping a car . How do you find a reputable company? Well, I prayed and read reviews.. I spoke with Bob at Ship A Car, I felt comfortable with the rate and transportation terms. I had no issues. There were no hidden fees, the car was delivered on time and no damages. Thanks Bob for beinging friendly and honest.

Ship A Car has been great. We've used them multiple times. We've shipped my cars back east multiple times for various trade shows, and then we've had them returned. They've been able to meet and exceed every shipment that we've had. So, I'm very pleased with them. Their communication was very precise and reactive. So, they had a quick response time.

Bob was fantastic. I was struggling with another company when I was referred to Bob. Working with him was a pleasure. When you called he answered his phone, he kept me informed every step of the way, and everything happened exactly as he said it would. He stayed in touch throughout the pickup and delivery to make sure there were no problems or issues. I would definitely use Bob again. He exceeded my expectations and that type of service is difficult to find today.

Riding my motorcycle cross-country from Florida, up to Jasper Canada, and down to California put a hurting on my hands. I was looking to cut out the San Francisco section of our trip and have the bike shipped to Carson City NV. I needed the bike there in two weeks; by the end of September. Two major shippers said they could not get the bike there until October. Then I had the good fortune of connecting with Ship a Car Inc. Steve Goodman handled my request and said they could do it. I was a bit nervous as Steve took a couple days to arrange transport and call me. But he came through and got the bike transported quicker than I would have expected. Since we were already in San Francisco, I called the shop in Eureka CA where I had left the bike for pick-up. As Steve had said, the bike was transported in an enclosed truck. The shop told me the driver was very professional and took a long time to make sure my bike was loaded and secured properly. I then called the shop in Carson City where the bike was to be delivered. They told me the bike was already there, that the driver had taken great care with my bike, and that he seemed very professional. This was a very difficult time-frame to deal with. This was not a pre-scheduled transportation issue. It was a last-minute decision on my part. The location of the pick-up shop in Eureka CA was only an every two-week area for the two other shippers I had tried. Steve Goodman and Ship a Car Inc came through. They saved our vacation and I am grateful, extremely grateful for the professionalism displayed. I would use their service again… in a heartbeat.

I needed to transport my car from Kentucky to Nevada. I requested a quote and received one via email. I then received a phone call from Bob M. Bob worked with me explaining the process for shipping a car and once I had sent in my paperwork he went to work finding a driver to transport my car. When the first driver's dispatcher called to let me know my driver's truck broke down, I immediately called Bob and explained the situation. He got to work finding a new driver for my car. Having Bob on my side, to arrange this transport was a huge relief to me and I was glad to know that things would be taken care of. My car arrived on time (actually it was there before I was expecting it) and l was very pleased with this company. I would highly recommend them and Bob M. to anyone looking to ship a vehicle safely and with no worries. Thank you.
