Tucson is laid out across dry washes that only run after rain, and plenty of its streets dip straight through them rather than crossing on a bridge. That matters for a pickup from mid June to the end of September and not at all for the rest of the year. Where the car is headed decides the road out, because a car bound for Texas, the South or Florida leaves east on I-10 without going near Phoenix, while one for the Midwest or the Northwest goes up through Phoenix first.
It can, if the way to your street runs through a wash. The monsoon lasts from June 15 to the end of September, and when a storm sends water down the washes, the city barricades the dip crossings that flood (it has about 150) and keeps them closed until the rain has stopped and crews have cleared the sand and debris off the road. A truck heading for an address beyond one of those crossings has to wait for it to open, so a summer pickup can run later than planned on a stormy day. Outside those months, or on a street that never crosses a wash, it doesn’t come up.
One percent of every booking goes to Clean Air Task Force, a nonprofit working on policy and technology to clean up transport and energy emissions.

Shipping a car from Tucson costs about $0.65 to $1.45 a mile on an open carrier, with the shorter runs costing more per mile. That's $1,200 to $1,500 to Denver, $1,050 to $1,250 to Houston, $1,550 to $1,900 to Chicago.
A car shipped from Tucson usually spends 3 to 8 days on the truck. Denver takes 3 to 4 days, Houston 3 to 5, Seattle 3 to 6, Minneapolis and Chicago 4 to 6, New York 5 to 7 and Boston 5 to 8. These are estimates, since the driver is picking up and delivering other cars along the way.
Usually, yes. Arizona wants the test passed before it registers a car brought in from another state, unless the car is still in its first five years of registration or was built in 1966 or earlier. Around Tucson most cars are then tested again at every yearly renewal, always at a Tucson-area station, because the Tucson and Phoenix areas run different tests and each area tests its own cars.
The deposit is charged 7 days before your pickup window opens; for a pickup inside 7 days it is held on your card at booking and charged when your driver is confirmed. The remaining balance is paid to the driver at delivery.
Every shipment is insured by the carrier under federal cargo liability requirements.
One to two weeks ahead is enough on most routes. Busy corridors handle shorter notice, and quieter lanes benefit from the full two weeks. Booking earlier does not lower the price; it settles your dates sooner, and the price holds for 28 days either way.
The truck waits until the road is safe to drive, and your pickup or delivery date moves with it. We'll confirm the driver's new window with you as soon as the road reopens. Snow on the mountain passes and in the northern states, and hurricanes along the Gulf and Atlantic coasts, are the usual causes.
To ship a car, request a quote with your origin, destination, and vehicle details. Sequoia matches you with a driver according to your pickup window, the driver picks up your vehicle, and delivers it at your destination.
