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 called up Ship A Car and they were very courteous on the phone. They were understanding that at my age, I'm not quick on the computer and on a whole bunch of things. But I knew what I wanted. They said they would find somebody. They said, "Give us a day." They came back and gave me a basic price. Then they came back and said, "We found somebody who will do it for $50 less. It's enclosed. Everything is perfect. We've had a lot of good feedback with them." So I gave them my credit card and they took their money. I also paid for the extra insurance because it was a specialty car.
Ship A Car reduced the amount that they would get in their pocket by $50 when carrier number one could not pick up the car timely and they had to go to carrier number two, which was the fellow I ended up with. It was perfect. The guys were personable and it was a nice experience. The only thing was that I didn't know when the driver was going to show up. They said, "We'll pick it up Friday or Tuesday or Wednesday or whatever." They couldn't give me a time. So the gentleman called me and said that they were stuck at the car dealership so instead of getting here at 10 in the morning, they were going to arrive at 2:00 or 3:00. He kept me posted along the way telling me when he was going to arrive. So it was a pleasant experience.
When the driver pulled up, he had a Porsche in there, which he pulled out and then put my car in the middle because of the way it was going to be dropped off at the other location. They strapped it all down. He took pictures before it left. Then it was in Nebraska from Long Island in a couple of days. They said it could take anywhere from four to six days, but it only took two and a half days. I was very pleased. My son looked at the car when it arrived and it arrived just the way it left.

I worked with Paul Sinclair.
He provided exceptional customer service and valuable knowledge for shipping my Toyota Corolla. The transporter who picked up my vehicle was courteous throughout the process as well. I would recommend asking for Paul S. as he was spot on with the communication , quote and customer expectations.
Thank you,

Service was great! Great communications between me, the customer, and both Ship a Car and Mikelson and Sons the actual shipper. First time I've shipped and it was easy. Mikelson and Sons coordinated with me for a pick up from a difficult rural location and actually delivered ahead of time. Thanks to Steve Hungness and driver Mike.

Contacted Ship-A-Car in early May 2018 and spoke with Steve G. He answered almost all of my questions immediately about shipping my new BMW to east coast. Those he couldn't answer he got back to me in less than a day with all the information I needed. A few weeks later my car was at the port on Maui and in less than one month it was safely sitting in my garage in North Carolina and in the exact same, excellent condition. I will ship other cars in the future and I will use Ship-A-Car and Steve.

I've shipped my vehicles across the country 4 times. I was in a bind when the company I normally ship with didn't show up on the agreed pick up date. I called ship a car inc and spoke with Bob asking for the impossible with two days notice. Bob found a way to get it done for me and was in touch from start to finish. Great company and even better customer service.
