Local notes

  • An auction area is associated with this city. Confirm the storage deadline and the release documents with the auction operator. Yard addresses are not listed here.
  • Winter moves here are part of ordinary migration into the state. This page does not publish a separate snowbird count.
  • A campus in this city can limit where a car-carrier truck stops. The driver often meets you off campus.

As of 2026-11-09. RideShipper estimate, updated 2026-11-09, based on 3,588 prices that customers reported paying in MoveAdvisor reviews, adjusted for U.S. diesel at $6.13 a gallon for that week (U.S. Energy Information Administration). In testing, the typical difference between an estimate and a reported price was about 20% of the estimate. This is an estimate, not a quote: the carrier sets the price. No pickup date was supplied, so this estimate uses November 2026. There is no seasonal direction adjustment for this route and month.

Checked facts

Yard, campus, and the winter page

IAA lists a Tucson branch with office hours Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mountain. That is the operator confirmed here. Start with the Tucson auction area. College Navigator lists the University of Arizona in Tucson with a Fall 2024 student population of 56,365. No out-of-state share is stated. The Tucson winter page is separate from the Phoenix page. Census ACS 2024 still measures winter-demand evidence at state level: 52,383 people now in Arizona lived in California a year earlier (margin of error 6,890). Illinois is 9,445 (margin of error 2,340). That is not a snowbird count.

City pairs on the route list

This site's list includes Tucson pairs with Dallas, Seattle, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and San Diego. Those are route-list rows, not Census city flows. The state lane with the largest inflow is California to Arizona. A campus or house may need a meeting point. A yard car needs a release while the office is open. Registration stays on the Arizona page.

Do not use the Phoenix yard by mistake

IAA also lists a Phoenix branch. A Tucson release is the Tucson branch, with its own office hours. The dust system between Eloy and Picacho is the highway segment a Phoenix-Tucson truck crosses. It is not a reason to quote the move as a ship. Both cities are on the interstate network. Only the weather changes the day.
