About this route
Why so many cars go from Arizona to Wisconsin
About 3,230 people moved from Arizona to Wisconsin in each of the last two years, according to the Census Bureau's American Community Survey (3,304 in 2023, 3,156 in 2024). That is 1.7% of everyone who left Arizona for another state.
This is the lighter direction: about 4,516 people a year move Wisconsin to Arizona. Carriers that bring cars into Arizona need loads back toward Wisconsin, so it's worth asking for a backhaul price on this leg.
How the price compares
At a typical $1,300, shipping from Arizona to Wisconsin costs more than sending a car to Minnesota ($1,225) and Washington ($1,175) but less than to Ohio ($1,375) and Michigan ($1,400). That works out to about 76¢ a mile — long hauls cost less per mile because loading and paperwork are spread over more distance.
Distance and transit time
Expect about 1,720 road miles from Phoenix to Milwaukee — 4–7 days on the truck after pickup. Carriers usually load several cars before heading out, so the pickup window matters as much as transit time. The car heads northeast and crosses one time zone — from Mountain to Central time — so confirm whether the delivery window you are given is in local time.
On the road
- The route crosses mountain passes in the West; from November to March, snow and chain laws can hold trucks for a day or two.
- Winter storms in Wisconsin can slow pickups and deliveries in December through February — leave slack in your schedule.

FAQ
Arizona to Wisconsin car shipping: questions
Numbers on this page come from our price model, Census moving data and Wisconsin's DMV.
How much does it cost to ship a car from Arizona to Wisconsin?
