Shipping in Denver

What to know about moving a car in Denver.

Denver is the largest city in the Denver–Aurora–Centennial metro area and the largest city in Colorado. Its 2023 Census estimate is roughly 717,000 people.

I-70, I-270, and I-225 run within a few miles of Denver, and US-40 also serves the area.

At about 5,300 feet above sea level, winter weather can arrive early and stay late.

Nearby places with their own guides include Aurora (9 mi), Commerce City (10 mi), and Thornton (11 mi). The closest major out-of-state market is Albuquerque, NM, about 336 miles away. Large metros like this one get carrier traffic almost every day, so pickup windows tend to be shorter than in smaller towns.

Pickup & delivery

Local considerations for Denver.

Street access

A full-size carrier often can't fit on residential streets in denser parts of Denver. Expect to meet at a nearby wide street or a large parking lot. We'll confirm the spot before pickup day.

Mountain weather

At about 5,300 feet, storms can close passes into Denver for a day at a time. Open carriers wait them out, and enclosed transport is worth considering for low-clearance cars.

Highway handoff

If your street is hard to reach, a large lot near I-70 is often the quickest handoff point in Denver.

FAQ

Car shipping questions about Denver.

Do you offer door-to-door car shipping in Denver, CO?

Yes. We arrange door-to-door service in Denver wherever a carrier can safely stop. In denser neighborhoods, that may be a nearby wide street or parking lot. We'll confirm the exact spot before pickup.

How far ahead should I book car shipping in Denver?

Booking a week or two ahead usually gives you the most options. Holiday weeks and month-end moving days book up first.

Can you ship a car from Denver to Albuquerque, NM?

Yes. Denver to Albuquerque is about 336 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 you ship a car out of Denver in winter?

Yes. Snow can push a pickup back by a day, but carriers run all winter. If the car is a classic or low-clearance model, enclosed transport keeps it away from salt and slush.

Should I choose open or enclosed transport in Denver?

Open transport works well for most everyday cars and is the more affordable option. Enclosed transport protects luxury, classic or freshly detailed vehicles from road salt and winter grime along the way.

Which highways do carriers use to reach Denver?

Carriers usually reach Denver on I-70, I-270, and I-225, with US-40 handling local access.
