Pickup & delivery
Local considerations for Glendale.
Base access
Civilian carriers usually can't drive onto Luke Air Force Base. Plan to meet off-base in Glendale, and line up dates with your report or departure date if you're on PCS orders.
Neighborhood rules
If your street in Glendale is narrow or has HOA restrictions, a store lot or wide road nearby makes the handoff quick.
Heat
In summer, leave a quarter tank or less, take sunshades and electronics out of the cabin, and check the battery. Heat is hard on weak batteries.
Highway handoff
If your street is hard to reach, a large lot near I-17 is often the quickest handoff point in Glendale.

FAQ
Car shipping questions about Glendale.
Do you offer door-to-door car shipping in Glendale, AZ?
Yes. Most addresses in Glendale can be served door to door. If HOA rules or narrow streets get in the way, we'll set a nearby meeting point instead.
How far ahead should I book car shipping in Glendale?
Booking a week or two ahead usually gives you the most options. In Glendale, summer is peak PCS season around Luke AFB.
Can you ship a car from Glendale to Phoenix, AZ?
Yes. Glendale to Phoenix is about 6 miles in a straight line, and the road distance is longer. We'll quote the route both ways and give you a timing window before you book.
Can a carrier pick up at Luke Air Force Base?
Usually not on the installation itself. Civilian carriers generally can't get on base, so pickup is set at an address or public lot off-base in Glendale. Have your orders handy if your dates depend on a report date.
Is summer heat a problem for shipping a car from Glendale?
Not for the car itself. Check the battery, keep fuel at a quarter tank or less, and take heat-sensitive items out of the cabin.
Should I choose open or enclosed transport in Glendale?
Open transport works well for most everyday cars and is the more affordable option. Enclosed transport protects luxury, classic or freshly detailed vehicles from strong sun and dust along the way.
