Shipping
Shipping a car can be a daunting time even for those that have shipped numerous vehicles over the years. When you start contacting transporters to move the car for you, be sure to have the weight and height of the vehicle as they will need this information to schedule the right carrier. You also need to know what type of carrier you need to ship the car.
Types of Carriers
- Open Carrier - An open carrier is generally the fastest as well as the least expensive carrier to use for auto transport. This mode of transport is open on all sides and on top and up to ten or more vehicles can be hauled at one time. While this type of carrier is suitable for all types of motor vehicles, owners of expensive luxury cars or classic cars may want to request their vehicles be top loaded when using open carriers so the car will not be underneath other vehicles where fluids may possibly leak on them and where the car will not chance to scrape into another vehicle during shipment. Open carriers will expose the vehicle to the elements along the way but they are safe and prevent the car from racking up unnecessary mileage and extra maintenance fees.
- Enclosed Carrier - An enclosed carrier is perfect for classics, luxury, sports and collectible cars. Enclosed carriers are sealed on all sides and some even come with climate controlled or padded interiors to maintain stability at all times during shipment. Most enclosed carriers, however, are not climate controlled or padded but they are much safer than open carriers when shipping an extremely expensive vehicle. Enclosed carriers are generally up to 50% more costly than open carriers but the expense is trivial when you have a valuable automobile that needs a secure environment during shipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does car shipping to or from Tombstone, Arizona work?
Tombstone car shipping starts with a quote based on the pickup and delivery ZIP codes, vehicle details, running condition, and trailer type. After booking, a carrier is assigned, the driver inspects the vehicle at pickup, loads it, transports it, and completes another inspection at delivery. Door-to-door service brings the carrier as close to each address as safe truck access allows; tight access may require a nearby meeting point. Keep pickup scheduling separate from loaded transit when planning your move.
How much does it cost to ship a car to Tombstone AZ?
As of September 2, 2026, Tombstone, AZ car shipping on an open carrier typically runs $500-$900 under 500 miles for a running standard car. For 500-1,500 miles, budget about $750-$1,300; for 1,500-2,500 miles, about $1,100-$1,600. Vehicle size, operability, enclosed service, and exact pickup access can move the final quote. A1's car shipping rates guide explains the main pricing inputs.
Where can a car carrier pick up in Tombstone if my street is hard to access?
Tombstone's main state-highway access is State Route 80, known locally as Fremont Street through town, and SR 82 meets SR 80 just north of Tombstone. If a full-size carrier cannot safely stop at your exact address, the driver may arrange a nearby meeting point with enough room to load and turn. That could be a wide street or parking area where stopping is permitted. Confirm the meeting point with the carrier before pickup rather than choosing one on your own.
What transport options are available for Tombstone car shipping?
Open auto transport is usually the lower-cost and more widely available choice for a daily driver going to or from Tombstone. Enclosed transport uses a covered trailer and reduces exposure to weather and road debris, so it is often chosen for classic, exotic, restored, or low-clearance cars. Enclosed service generally costs more and may have fewer available carriers. A1's enclosed auto transport guide explains the trailer type and added protection.
How long does car shipping to or from Tombstone take?
Tombstone vehicle shipping typically takes 1-3 loaded transit days under 500 miles, 3-6 days for 500-1,500 miles, and about 5-9 days for 1,500-2,500 miles. These ranges begin after the vehicle is loaded; carrier assignment and pickup scheduling occur beforehand. Distance accounts for most of the difference, while traffic, weather, required driver rest, and scheduled vehicle stops can move delivery within the quoted window. Treat the arrival date as an estimate unless guaranteed service is specifically stated in writing.
Can I ship a non-running car to or from Tombstone?
Yes, a non-running car can be shipped to or from Tombstone when you disclose its condition before carrier assignment. If the vehicle still rolls, steers, and brakes, a winch-equipped carrier can often load it; locked wheels, seized steering, missing tires, or severe collision damage may require different equipment. Those requirements can raise the price and reduce the number of suitable carriers. A1's inoperable auto transport guide explains the condition details to provide before dispatch.
