OPEN car shipping

Most commonly used for Glendale vehicle shipping is open transport, due to its reliability and relatively lower cost. Your car will share space on an exposed multi-vehicle trailer, which actually speeds up the whole process—carriers can load and unload quickly without special procedures. The catch is that your automobile may collect some dust, bug splatter, or other surface-level debris along the way. A car wash should remove these easily. For most, open transport handles the job without unnecessary expense.

ENCLOSED car shipping

Have a vehicle that requires an extra level of protection? While open trailers are reliable, you don’t want to leave it to chance when transporting luxury, exotic, or vintage cars. Enclosed transport means your car is shielded from the harsh Arizona sun, as well as road debris and other extreme weather conditions. This option is also recommended for low clearance vehicles, as these need to be loaded and unloaded using a hydraulic lift system and ramp. Overall, enclosed transport provides peace of mind for high-value car owners.

4 things to consider when transporting a car to or from Glendale

  • Arizona residency requires either getting a state license or living here continuously for seven months. Visit the Glendale MVD office to get your license—don’t forget to bring two forms of proof of residency, like a lease, utility bill, or bank statement.
  • Arizona heat can be punishing, and Glendale may regularly hit 115°F in summer. That kind of temperature destroys car interiors, drains batteries overnight, and can literally crack your dashboard. Park in shade whenever possible, invest in a quality sunshade for your windshield, and consider ceramic window tinting (33% visible light transmission is the legal limit for front side windows).
  • If you’re military transferring to Luke Air Force Base, understand that base housing has specific vehicle delivery procedures. You’ll need to coordinate with base security, provide advance notice, and possibly meet your carrier at a designated area.
  • Arizona offers Mobile ID (mID), a digital driver’s license. Handy at times, but keep your physical license in your car as backup. Some places still don’t accept digital IDs, and if your phone dies at an inconvenient moment, you’re stuck without identification.

Glendale car shipping FAQs

Glendale car shipping costs will vary depending on several factors including shipment distance, pickup and dropoff locations, and vehicle size and weight. 

 

On average, auto transport to and from Glendale will cost approximately $1.85 per mile for shipments under 500 miles. Shipments between 500-1,500 miles cost $.91 per mile on average, and $.59 per mile for shipments over 1,500 miles.

 

Local or regional car shipments from Glendale, between 200 and 600 miles, generally take 2 to 4 days. You can expect about 4 to 6 days for moves between 1,000 and 1,500 miles, and 7 to 9 days when the vehicle relocation is over 2,400 miles. See Montway’s reference chart for more timeframes. Keep in mind that the vehicle type, time of year, and other factors go into determining transit time.

Yes, your vehicle will be covered by the carrier’s cargo insurance. Additionally, Montway has its own contingent cargo insurance which protects you for up to $250,000 should the trucker's policy fail to fully cover a valid claim.

A simple way to save money is by opting for open auto transport rather than enclosed. You can also save money by keeping your pickup date flexible, meeting your truck driver near a main route, and avoiding seasonal demand. Discover more car shipping tips to help keep money in your pocket.

With Montway you can have one piece of luggage in the trunk free of charge. This could be a box, suitcase, or bag, weighing no more than 100 lbs.

We suggest the car is clean so that any existing damage is fully visible. Also remove any personal items, especially anything of value. Remove any automatic toll devices and disable any kind of security system which could give the trucker trouble when loading or unloading the vehicle. Finally, try to leave a quarter tank of gas in the vehicle to be sure there is enough for loading and unloading but not so much to start adding extra weight.

Yes, a person must be present at both pick up and delivery to sign inspection reports, hand the keys over to the driver, and release and accept the vehicle. If you are unable to be there, you must find a person over the age of 18 that you trust to oversee the process.
