Colorado to Missouri Auto Transport
Shipping a Car From Colorado to Missouri
Denver to Kansas City is about 600 miles on I-70, and St. Louis is about 850 on the same interstate. Springfield and the Ozarks are around 765. Most of these moves are one long day or two easy ones.
I-70 ties Denver and Missouri together, and people move both ways constantly. We ship for soldiers going from Fort Carson to Fort Leonard Wood, airmen heading to Whiteman AFB, and professionals taking jobs in Kansas City and St. Louis. We also ship for students at Mizzou, WashU, and Missouri State, and families moving to Branson and the lake.

The Route
How Cars Get From Colorado to Missouri
This is a one-interstate route. Trucks take I-70 straight east across the Plains and Kansas into Kansas City, then on through Columbia to St. Louis. Whiteman AFB is just south of I-70 on US-50.
Springfield and Fort Leonard Wood are reached on I-44, and Joplin is often served through Wichita. Branson and the Lake of the Ozarks are on winding two-lane roads, so they take a little more planning.
Along the Way
- Denver → Limon~90 mi
- Limon → Salina~340 mi
- Salina → Kansas City~170 mi
- Kansas City → St. Louis~250 mi
Approximate distances. The exact route depends on the carrier's other stops.
Timing
When to Ship Colorado to Missouri
Plains weather and Army moves set the timing.
Winter on I-70
Blizzards in eastern Colorado and western Kansas often close I-70, and ice storms hit Missouri. Leave room from November through March.
Spring Storms
April through June is tornado season across Kansas and Missouri. Drivers wait out warnings.
Summer PCS Season
May through August is the peak for Fort Leonard Wood and Whiteman moves. Training dates there run all year, too.
Fall
Usually smooth. Chiefs and Mizzou home games make Kansas City and Columbia busy.
Pricing
How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Car From Colorado to Missouri?
This is a shorter route, so pricing works a little differently.
Distance
Kansas City is about 600 miles from Denver. St. Louis is closer to 850.
Short-Haul Pricing
Shorter trips cost more per mile than cross-country ones, since loading and unloading take the same time either way.
A Busy Lane
I-70 between Denver and Kansas City is a major truck corridor, which keeps prices competitive.
Open or Enclosed
Open is the standard. Enclosed keeps hail and road debris 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
Lots of trucks run I-70. A flexible day or two usually gets you the best price.

Before You Ship & After You Arrive
A few Missouri-specific things worth knowing.
Registering in Missouri
New residents have 30 days to title and register at a license office. Out-of-state vehicles need a VIN check, and the St. Louis area requires emissions testing. Check dor.mo.gov for current inspection rules.
Moving With the Military
We ship for soldiers, airmen, and families moving from Fort Carson, Peterson, Schriever, and Buckley to Fort Leonard Wood and Whiteman AFB.
Base Housing Pickups
Fort Carson has rules for commercial trucks. We'll work with you on a gate or a nearby meeting spot.
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.

FAQ
Colorado to Missouri Car Shipping FAQs
How long does it take to ship a car from Colorado to Missouri?
Usually 1 to 3 days after pickup. Kansas City is often next-day.
How much does it cost to ship a car from Colorado to Missouri?
It depends on your exact pickup and delivery locations, vehicle size, open or enclosed transport, and the season. Request a free quote and you'll get a final price, good for 7 days.
Do you ship cars for military moves from Fort Carson to Fort Leonard Wood?
Yes. We regularly ship for soldiers and families. Give us your report date when you request a quote.
Does Missouri require a vehicle inspection?
Out-of-state vehicles need a VIN check, and the St. Louis area requires emissions testing. Check with the Department of Revenue for current rules.
Why ship instead of driving from Colorado to Missouri?
It's one long day on I-70. If you're moving two cars, flying in, or crossing the Plains in winter, shipping is the easier choice.
Can you ship a car from Missouri back to Colorado?
Yes. Request a quote with your Missouri pickup address and your Colorado delivery address. It's door-to-door either way.
Is my car insured during transport?
Yes. Every carrier we work with is required to carry active cargo insurance. Your car's condition is documented on the Bill of Lading at pickup and checked again at delivery. Personal items left in the vehicle aren't covered.
Do I have to pay upfront?
No. There's $0 due at booking. Once a carrier is assigned, you can pay a deposit and the rest to the driver at delivery by cash or check, or pay in full at that point.
