Colorado’s diverse landscapes range from high desert plateaus to alpine peaks. This unique environment shapes the types of vehicles people ship to and from the state. Due to its strong outdoor and adventure culture, SUVs, pickup trucks, and all-wheel-drive vehicles like Subaru are commonly shipped because they are well-suited for rugged terrain and seasonal weather.
Environmentally conscious Coloradans are driving electric and hybrid cars, too, such as Teslas, Toyota Priuses, and Ford Mustang Mach-Es. Luxury cars and classic cars, such as Porsche, Audi, and BMW models, are often shipped to areas like Denver and Boulder. The demand for auto transportation is high in the state, with many schools and colleges, as students are either going to or coming from their studies.

This is the most common and budget-friendly method. Your vehicle is securely transported on an open, multi-car carrier, making it an excellent option for standard vehicles.
For added protection from Colorado’s road debris and weather, we provide enclosed transport options. These carriers have solid walls and a roof, offering maximum security for luxury, classic, exotic, and race cars.

No matter how remote or urban your location is, we'll figure out how to get your vehicle there safely.
Follow this simple checklist to keep your car shipping experience to or from Colorado smooth and stress-free:
1. Wash your vehicle (inside-out). A clean car helps spot and keep a record of any scratches, dents, or damages present before transportation.
2. Remove any personal belongings. Take out any personal belongings; this includes all such items as chargers, electronics, and toll tags that may be kept inside the vehicle. Carriers cannot be held responsible for such personal belongings they may come across.
3. Document any pre-existing damage. Take clear photos of your vehicles from all angles, and notes on any damage. This will give you a record to use should you need to file a claim after transport.
4. Check the fuel level. Your car will require just about a quarter of the tank for loading and unloading. Don't fill it up but don't leave the tank empty, either.

If you want to save money and avoid extra charges, here are several helpful tips:
Book Early. Try to book your car transport at least three weeks ahead of when you need it. We know life doesn't always work that way, but when you can plan ahead, you'll almost always get a better deal.
Choose Open Carrier Transport. Unless you're shipping something really special or valuable, open carrier transport is your friend. Your car will be perfectly safe, and you'll save quite a bit compared to enclosed shipping.
Ship During Spring and Fall. Summer and the holidays are when everyone wants to move their cars, which means higher prices. If you can swing it, spring and fall are much easier on your wallet.
Here is a quick overview of the documents you will need to ship a car:
Original Vehicle Title. You'll need the original title that shows you actually own the vehicle. No copies here – they need to see the real deal.
The Bill of Lading. This is basically your contract and receipt rolled into one. You and the driver will both sign it when they pick up your car and again when they deliver it. Keep your copy safe – you'll want it for your records.
Vehicle Registration. Registration Papers. Just a copy of your current registration to prove your car is legit and legally on the road.
Photo Identification. Bring a valid photo ID (driver's license works great). If someone else is handling the pickup or delivery for you, they'll need their ID too.
From the eastern plains to the rugged Rocky Mountains, Colorado has a uniquely diverse landscape. Each region and city presents its logistical challenges and advantages, which influence the types of shipping services used.
Denver is where most of our Colorado car shipping happens, and for good reason. When we talk about the Denver metro area, we're including not just the city itself, but all those surrounding communities you probably know – Aurora out east, Lakewood to the west, Boulder up northwest, plus places like Arvada, Westminster, and Thornton. What makes Denver so great for car shipping? It's right in the middle of everything, all the major highways run through it, and we've got trucks heading in and out regularly. That means more options and often better prices for you.
Head south and you'll hit Colorado Springs, a bustling city that's home to some major military installations like Fort Carson, Peterson Air Force Base, and Cheyenne Mountain. We ship a lot of cars here because of all the military families moving in and out, plus tons of people are drawn to the area for those amazing mountain views, great outdoor activities, and the growing job market. It's become a really popular place to relocate.
Northern Colorado’s Front Range is centered around Fort Collins, a vibrant university town and major northern hub. Boulder, known for its thriving tech corridor, attracts many relocations tied to the booming technology sector. The region also sees a lot of student moves for the University of Colorado and Colorado State University.
Places like Aspen, Vail, and Breckenridge – you know, the fancy ski destinations – are in a category all their own. We ship a lot of cars to and from these towns for people who have vacation homes or spend part of their year living the mountain life. Come winter, we're moving SUVs and trucks loaded with ski gear so folks can hit the slopes without worrying about driving mountain roads. It's seasonal work, but it keeps us busy during ski season.
