Door-to-door Tempe car shipping on the academic clock, with move-in week planning, Rural Road and Apache hand-offs for campus, the football Saturday rule, and real bands.
Ship A Car, Inc. arranges door-to-door vehicle transport for Tempe, the city boxed into the exact middle of the metro by four freeways, where one of the largest campuses in the country moves students every August and May, Rural Road and Apache Boulevard run the edges of campus, the dammed river bed became Town Lake with a skyline of employers around it, the light rail threads campus and Mill Avenue to the airport, and football Saturdays fill Mill end to end. Your car rides with a licensed, insured carrier we vet before it is assigned.
Every carrier working Phoenix passes Tempe’s exits, and its car shipping runs on the academic clock. The lots along Rural Road at US 60 or at Tempe Marketplace take a 75-foot rig a minute off the ramp. Students shipping a car from home, faculty and Town Lake hires on a start date, and parents sending a car back at graduation are the shipments we see most, with August booking early and parents tracking the move end to end. The single-family streets south of campus take the truck to the door; a 75-foot hauler does not thread the campus blocks, so student cars meet at a planned wide spot near the edges on Rural Road or Apache Boulevard, agreed at booking, and no campus-side pickup gets booked on a home-game Saturday.

August and May book three weeks out with a Rural Road meeting point fixed, so the truck never tries a campus block during turnover.
Whoever books gets every detail in writing, and the driver calls the number on the order, so the student can meet the truck with an ID.
Enter your lane, vehicle, and dates in the instant calculator and dispatch books from that figure. One coordinator handles the move from booking to the delivery inspection.
Tempe prices on the Phoenix hub, boxed by four freeways in the metro’s exact middle. Five things move your number:
Price is the first question on every Tempe call. Arizona books enough orders on each of these lanes for a reliable middle, so the bands below are standard-sedan open-transport lanes into and out of Arizona that we have booked since 2023, shown as the middle of the market rather than the cheapest or the most expensive order.
Planning figures, not a quote. Enclosed adds about a third, move-in week and summer firm every lane, and a pickup or a non-running car prices above a sedan. For the real number on your route use the instant calculator or call (866) 821-4555. No deposit is taken until a carrier is assigned to your move.
One of the largest in the nation, and its calendar is the city’s.
The dammed river bed grew a skyline of the valley’s biggest employers.
Hemmed in by its neighbors, Tempe became the most walkable, transit-served city in the valley.
The flour mill’s silos still stand over Mill Avenue under the butte.
Please note: Estimates on this page are middle-of-the-market bands for standard sedans on open carriers from Arizona lanes booked since 2023. Season, fuel, route, and vehicle change the real number, and your calculator quote is the accurate figure.
