About this route

Why so many cars go from Arizona to Oregon

About 7,169 people moved from Arizona to Oregon in each of the last two years, according to the Census Bureau's American Community Survey (7,144 in 2023, 7,194 in 2024). That is 3.8% of everyone who left Arizona for another state.

Traffic runs both ways — about 7,400 people a year move from Oregon back to Arizona — so carriers run this lane year-round and quotes tend to be steady.

How the price compares

At a typical $1,125, shipping from Arizona to Oregon costs more than sending a car to Texas ($1,075) and Colorado ($925) but less than to Missouri ($1,150) and Washington ($1,175). That works out to about 95¢ a mile.

Distance and transit time

Your car spends 3–5 days on the road for the roughly 1,180 miles from Phoenix to Portland, after a pickup window of a few days while the carrier assembles a full load. The car heads north-northwest and crosses one time zone — from Mountain to Pacific time — so confirm whether the delivery window you are given is in local time.

On the road

Winter storms in Oregon can slow pickups and deliveries in December through February — leave slack in your schedule.
