Why Choose Cross Country Valet?
Your Schedule, Your Dates
We work around your schedule, not ours. Tell us when you need your car delivered and we’ll make it happen — many clients fly to their destination in Arizona and have their car waiting at the airport when they arrive.
No Weight Limits
With Cross Country Valet, there are no limits on what you can pack in your car. Moving boxes, luggage, golf clubs, personal belongings — fill it up. Most trucking companies cap additional cargo at 100 lbs. Not us.
Trusted, Vetted Drivers
We don’t hire strangers from online forums like some other driveaway services. We work with the same team of professional drivers for each and every job, all of whom have been thoroughly screened and vetted.
Faster Than a Truck
Our driveaway service is almost always cheaper and faster than sending your car on a truck. A typical turnaround is just 2-3 days with us, versus a week or more on a truck — more time with your car, more money in your pocket.
How Does Driveaway Work?
A driveaway service means that your vehicle is driven personally from your pickup address in Canada to your destination address in Arizona by an experienced, professional driver. Compared to shipping your vehicle on a transport truck, a driveaway service is:
- Quicker
- Lower-Cost
- More Customizable
- Less Restrictive
When you work with Cross Country Valet, we will handle all the required paperwork to temporarily import your vehicle into the United States without your presence. As a registered carrier with U.S. Customs & Border Control, we are familiar with the various laws and procedures. Your vehicle will be fully insured during the duration of the trip under your existing insurance policy.
Common Destinations We SerVe
Phoenix Car Transport
Phoenix is a dream destination for those who love a dry desert climate and year-round outdoor activities. With world-class golf, hiking, and dining, the Phoenix metro area has grown into one of the most popular Canadian snowbird destinations.
Tucson Car Transport
Tucson offers all the climate benefits of Phoenix with a more relaxed pace. Surrounded by five mountain ranges and home to world-class hiking, and cycling, Tucson is increasingly popular with Canadians looking for an active winter getaway.
Scottsdale Car Transport
Boasting more than 200 golf courses in the surrounding area, Scottsdale is a paradise for golfers, not to mention its many other amenities. No weight restrictions mean you can load up your car with all your clubs and gear.
Sedona Car Transport
Famous for its towering red rock formations and spiritual energy, Sedona attracts visitors from around the world. Its higher elevation means cooler temperatures than Phoenix — ideal for Canadians who want sunshine without the desert heat.
We Take Care of the Return Journey Too
While our service is for anyone needing a car moved between Canada and Arizona, the majority of our clients are snowbirds who head to Arizona for the winter and return to Canada in the spring. The good news is, our Arizona to Canada car transport service works exactly the same way in reverse — a professional driver picks up your vehicle at your Arizona address and personally delivers it to your door back home in Canada, while you fly in comfort.
Many of our clients use us for both legs of their snowbird journey. Once you’ve experienced the convenience of having your car waiting for you when you land, it’s hard to go back to making the drive yourself.
What Our Customers Are Saying
“Cross Country Valet exceeded my expectations. My car was driven from Arizona to Alberta and had no issues at all. Matthew was both great to communicate and facilitate this service and very accommodating to make the plan work for what I needed. The driver Jeff sent daily updates, was extremely kind and took great care of my vehicle. Would definitely recommend!”

“First time I’ve used this service and boy, was it stress-free. I drove it to the airport and they picked it up from me at the time agreed. The couple who drove the car down, kept in contact and I knew exactly when it was arriving. They even put it through a car wash before they brought it to my door! I think that’s top notch service. I highly recommend Cross Country Valet, and I would definitely use them again.”

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does the Arizona vehicle delivery service cost?
The cost of the service to deliver a vehicle from Canada to Arizona (or vice versa) is custom for each trip and depends on many factors including the specific date, the pick-up address, and the drop-off address. Reach out to us with your details to obtain an exact quote.
How long does it take to drive a car from Canada to Arizona?
Most Canada to Arizona trips take approximately 3-4 days depending on the pickup and drop-off locations. From Ontario, the drive to Phoenix or Scottsdale is roughly 3,500 km. From the Prairie provinces, the distance is shorter — Alberta to Arizona is approximately 2,500 km, which typically takes 2-3 days.
Are you authorized to transport vehicles across the border without my presence?
Yes, all we require from you is a letter indicating that you have given us your permission to transport your vehicle into the United States. As a registered commercial vehicle carrier with U.S. Customs & Border Control, we handle all the required paperwork and work with a customs broker when required to ensure a smooth transaction.
What is your cancellation / refund policy?
A client may cancel their reservation at any time for any reason before their vehicle is in our possession. If cancelled before 21:00 EST two calendar days prior to pickup, you will not owe any further payments. If cancelled at or after 21:00 EST two calendar days prior to pickup, 50% of the total amount will be due. Deposits are retained in either scenario to cover costs associated with the reservation.
What about insurance?
The vast majority of Canadian car insurance policies come with permissive use insurance coverage. This means that you still have coverage if another driver operates your vehicle, as long as you have given them permission to do so. In the unlikely event that an at-fault insurance claim occurs while we are in possession of your vehicle, we will pay the deductible.
Can you pick my car up from anywhere in Canada or the United States?
As a Canadian company, we can deliver vehicles to and from anywhere within Canada. At this time, however, trips must either start or finish at a Canadian address. This means we can deliver a vehicle from an address in Canada to an address in Arizona, or vice versa, but we are unable to deliver a vehicle between Arizona and another U.S. address.
Are you able to transport any type of vehicle?
We transport almost every vehicle type, as long as it has four wheels and requires a standard driver’s license to operate. The car has to be in drivable condition. We can also tow a small trailer upon request.
