Colorado to Delaware Auto Transport
Shipping a Car From Colorado to Delaware
Denver to Wilmington is about 1,720 miles, east on I-70 through Kansas City, St. Louis, Indianapolis, and Columbus, then across Pennsylvania. Dover is a little farther, and the beach towns are closer to 1,820. It's four days of driving.
A good share of our Colorado-to-Delaware moves are military. C-17 and C-5 crews and their families move from Colorado Springs to Dover AFB. We also ship for people taking banking and chemical jobs in Wilmington, students at the University of Delaware, and retirees settling near Rehoboth and Lewes, where there's no sales tax and low property taxes.
Door-to-door, a final-price quote, and $0 due at booking.

The Route
How Cars Get From Colorado to Delaware
Most carriers run I-70 almost the whole way: Kansas City, St. Louis, Indianapolis, Columbus, and into Pennsylvania. From there, trucks take the Pennsylvania Turnpike (I-76) east and come down I-95 into Wilmington.
Dover and southern Delaware are reached on US-13 and DE-1. The beach towns get very crowded in summer, so deliveries there are easier on weekdays.
Along the Way
- Denver → Kansas City~600 mi
- Kansas City → St. Louis~250 mi
- St. Louis → Columbus~415 mi
- Columbus → Wilmington~455 mi
Approximate distances. The exact route depends on the carrier's other stops.
Timing
When to Ship Colorado to Delaware
Military moves and the beach season shape this route.
Summer PCS Season
Summer is the busiest time for Dover AFB moves. Book as soon as you have orders.
Beach Season
Rehoboth and Lewes are packed on summer weekends. Weekday deliveries go much smoother.
Winter
Blizzards on eastern Colorado's I-70 and ice in Pennsylvania can slow trucks from December through March.
Spring & Fall
Usually the smoothest time to ship.
Pricing
How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Car From Colorado to Delaware?
Here's what affects the price on this route.
Distance
Northern Delaware is about 1,720 miles from Denver. The beaches are closer to 1,820.
Delivery Area
Wilmington suburbs and Dover are easy. Beach-town streets in summer usually need a meeting spot.
Season
Summer is busiest. Fall and winter are often cheaper.
Open or Enclosed
Open is the standard. Enclosed keeps hail and road salt off a nicer car.
Vehicle Size
Pickups and full-size SUVs take more trailer space than sedans, so they cost more to ship.
Date Flexibility
A flexible window lets us pair your car with other Mid-Atlantic stops.
Your Quote Is Your Final Price
Your quote is your final price. It's good for 7 days, with no surprise fees and $0 due at booking.

Before You Ship & After You Arrive
A few Delaware-specific things worth knowing.
Registering in Delaware
New residents have 60 days to title and register with the Delaware DMV, and the car is inspected at the DMV lane when you register. Check dmv.de.gov for current requirements.
Moving With the Military
We ship for airmen and families moving from Peterson, Schriever, Buckley, and the Air Force Academy to Dover AFB.
No Sales Tax
Delaware has no sales tax, though there's a document fee when you title a vehicle. Check with the DMV for current rates.
Colorado Pickups
Tight streets in central Denver and steep, narrow roads in mountain towns can keep a carrier off your block. If so, the driver will set up a nearby meeting spot, often a lot just off the highway.
