Colorado Car Shipping Services

Open Auto Transport

Open transport is the most common and cost-effective way to ship a vehicle. Your car rides on an exposed multi-car carrier with other vehicles. It's safe, reliable, and the standard method used by dealerships and private owners across Colorado. For most vehicles on most routes, open transport is all you need.

Enclosed Auto Transport

Colorado's mountain routes can bring snow, ice, and debris even when the plains are clear. Enclosed transport keeps your vehicle in a covered trailer, fully protected from weather and road conditions. We recommend enclosed for luxury vehicles, classic cars, sports cars, and anything high-value making a mountain crossing.

Door-to-Door Service

We pick up and deliver at your address in most Colorado locations. Denver suburbs, Colorado Springs neighborhoods, and most Front Range communities are fully accessible for standard carriers. Mountain communities like Aspen, Telluride, Vail, and Breckenridge may require meeting the driver at a more accessible point nearby — we coordinate that with you in advance.

Expedited Car Shipping

Need faster service? Expedited transport moves your pickup window to 24–48 hours. Perfect for last-minute relocations, job start date deadlines, or auction pickups with tight timelines.

Snowbird and Seasonal Transport

Many Colorado residents head to Arizona, Florida, or Texas for the winter months. Shipping the car there in October and back in May is easier and less wear on the vehicle than two long drives. We coordinate seasonal moves both directions.

Classic and Collector Car Shipping

Colorado has an active collector car community, particularly in the Denver and Boulder areas. Enclosed transport with white-glove handling is available for vintage, exotic, and collector vehicles.

Dealer and Fleet Transport

We work with Colorado dealerships, auction buyers, and fleet companies to move inventory reliably. Whether you're shipping vehicles from Denver-area auctions to your lot or delivering sold units out of state, we handle the logistics.

Motorcycle Shipping

We ship motorcycles to and from Colorado using enclosed crating or soft-tie systems. All bike types welcome.

Colorado Car Shipping Transit Times

Mountain passes and winter weather can add a day to transit times on certain routes. We communicate any delays as soon as we know about them.

How the Car Shipping Process Works

We're reachable throughout the entire process. If your schedule changes or you need an update, just call us directly.

Call (832) 886-1321 or request online. Provide your pickup location, destination, vehicle type, and preferred dates.

We confirm your order and find a vetted carrier who services your exact route.

The driver arrives, walks around the car with you, completes the Bill of Lading, and loads the vehicle.

Your car arrives at the destination. You inspect it, sign the delivery report, and you're done.

Shipping a Car To or From Denver

Denver is Colorado's main auto transport hub. I-70, I-25, and I-76 all pass through or near the city, connecting it to Chicago, Kansas City, Albuquerque, and beyond. Carriers run through Denver constantly, which keeps availability strong and pricing competitive for most routes. The Denver metro includes a wide suburban footprint — Aurora, Lakewood, Arvada, Westminster, Thornton, and Englewood are all easily accessible for standard carriers. Getting a large carrier into certain downtown Denver streets can be a challenge, but we work with drivers to find the most convenient and accessible pickup point for you.

Shipping from Colorado Springs, Fort Collins, and Mountain Communities

Colorado Springs is well-served by carriers running I-25 between Denver and Albuquerque. Fort Carson generates significant military PCS demand and we handle those moves regularly. Fort Collins and Boulder, on the northern Front Range, have solid carrier coverage as well. Mountain resort communities like Aspen, Vail, Telluride, and Steamboat Springs present more of a logistical challenge. Roads are narrow, passes close in bad weather, and large carriers can't always access the most remote addresses. We work with you to arrange pickup at a point the driver can access — sometimes that means driving your vehicle to a lot in a nearby valley town. We're upfront about this from the start.

Preparing Your Car for Shipping in Colorado

Wash the car before pickup so pre-existing damage is easy to see and document
Photograph all four sides before the driver arrives
Remove all personal items from the interior and trunk — carriers aren't liable for them
Leave about a quarter tank of fuel
Disable toll transponders like CO Express Lane passes to avoid charges
Make sure the car starts and drives, or let us know in advance if it doesn't
Fold in side mirrors and retract antennas

Note and document any pre-existing damage on the Bill of Lading at pickup

Who Ships Cars to and from Colorado?

College Students

University of Colorado Boulder, Colorado State, University of Denver, and Air Force Academy all bring out-of-state students. Shipping a car to campus in August — or home to California or Texas in May — beats a long solo drive by a wide margin.

Military Families at Fort Carson and Peterson Space Force Base

Fort Carson in Colorado Springs and Peterson Space Force Base are two of the most active PCS locations in the Mountain West. We work with military families relocating to and from both installations on tight military timelines.

People Moving to the Denver Metro

Colorado's population growth is driven by remote workers, tech industry hires, outdoor enthusiasts, and young families looking for a different quality of life. Most of them are shipping a car from somewhere else. We handle those inbound moves constantly.

Skiers, Outdoor Enthusiasts, and Seasonal Residents

Some people come to Colorado for the ski season and go home in the spring. Others move their vehicle up from a warmer state for summer and back down for winter. We handle seasonal vehicle moves both directions, year after year.

Remote Workers and Lifestyle Movers

Colorado has seen a significant influx of remote workers from California, Texas, and the Northeast. Many ship their car as part of the move rather than driving through the mountains with a loaded-down vehicle.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to ship a car to or from Colorado?

Rates start around $450 for shorter regional routes and go up to $1,350 for coast-to-coast moves. Exact pricing depends on your route, vehicle type, and transport method. Call (832) 886-1321 for a quote.

How long does car shipping take to or from Colorado?

Regional hauls to Texas or Arizona take 1–3 days. Cross-country moves to the East or West Coast take 4–7 days. Mountain routes may add a day depending on season.

Is my vehicle covered by insurance during transport?

Yes. All carriers in our network carry cargo insurance as required by the FMCSA. Photograph your vehicle before pickup to document its condition.

Do I need to be present at pickup and delivery?

Yes, you or a designated contact must be present to sign the Bill of Lading at both ends.

Can you ship a non-running car in Colorado?

Yes, but please tell us upfront. Inoperable vehicles require special loading equipment and may cost more to ship.

Do mountain communities like Aspen or Vail have special requirements?

Yes. Some mountain roads and resort areas restrict large carrier access. We coordinate a convenient pickup location with you in advance — usually at a nearby accessible parking area.

What's the difference between open and enclosed transport?

Open uses an exposed carrier and is affordable and standard. Enclosed uses a covered trailer — better protection from mountain weather and road debris. Recommended for high-value vehicles on mountain routes.

Does winter weather affect Colorado car shipping?

Yes. Mountain passes like Vail Pass and Eisenhower Tunnel can close or slow in winter. We communicate any weather-related delays and work around them when possible.

Can I leave personal items in the car?

Carriers are not liable for personal belongings and may refuse them. We recommend removing everything before shipping.

How far in advance should I book?

One to two weeks gives you the best rates and carrier options. Expedited service is available for shorter notice.

Do you handle Fort Carson PCS moves?

Yes. We work with military families at Fort Carson and Peterson Space Force Base regularly and understand military relocation timelines.

Can dealerships use NexGen for inventory transport in Colorado?

Yes. We work with Colorado dealerships on a regular basis. Contact us to discuss volume pricing and logistics support.
