I-10 East through San Bernardino, the high desert, Blythe, and Quartzsite into Phoenix. No mountain passes, no weather complications. In summer, we load in the cool of the morning and arrive in Phoenix mid-afternoon before peak heat. If you're moving in July or August, we start loading at 7am and target Phoenix arrival before 2pm.
Arizona requires updating your driver's license within 30 days of establishing residency. Vehicle registration within 15 days. Arizona DMV: azdmv.com.

No emissions test required in most Arizona counties (Maricopa County requires it for vehicles over 5 years old).
Housing 40–50% less. Arizona income tax 2.5% flat (California 9.3%+). No California vehicle license fee surcharge ($1,800–$3,000/year on newer vehicles). Property taxes lower.
