Colorado to Nevada Auto Transport
Shipping a Car From Colorado to Nevada
Denver to Las Vegas is about 750 miles, west on I-70 through the Rockies and the canyons of Utah and down I-15. Reno is around 1,040 by way of Wyoming and I-80. Plan on one or two days of driving.
Nevada's no state income tax and warm winters pull a lot of Coloradans to Las Vegas and Henderson, and Reno draws people who want mountains and Tahoe without Colorado prices. We also ship for airmen moving to Nellis and Creech, Navy aviators going to NAS Fallon, and hospitality and tech workers taking jobs on both ends of the state.
Door-to-door, a final-price quote, and $0 due at booking.

The Route
How Cars Get From Colorado to Nevada
Las Vegas loads take I-70 west through the Eisenhower Tunnel, Vail Pass, and Glenwood Canyon to Grand Junction, cross Utah's San Rafael Swell, and join I-15 south through St. George and the Virgin River Gorge.
Northern Nevada is a different trip. Reno and Carson City loads head north to Cheyenne and take I-80 across Wyoming, Utah, and the Nevada desert through Elko. Lake Tahoe and Fallon are short hops from Reno.
Along the Way
- Denver → Grand Junction~245 mi
- Grand Junction → I-15 at Cove Fort~270 mi
- Cove Fort → St. George~115 mi
- St. George → Las Vegas~120 mi
Approximate distances. The exact route depends on the carrier's other stops.
Timing
When to Ship Colorado to Nevada
Mountain passes and desert heat set the timing here.
Rockies Winter
Snow on I-70 over the Eisenhower Tunnel and Vail Pass can close the road for hours. Colorado's traction law applies from September through May.
Wyoming I-80
Reno loads cross southern Wyoming, where wind and snow close I-80 often in winter.
Summer Heat
Las Vegas regularly tops 110°F. Make sure the battery and tires are in good shape.
Spring & Fall
Usually the easiest time to ship.
Pricing
How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Car From Colorado to Nevada?
Here's what affects the price on this route.
Distance
Las Vegas is about 750 miles from Denver. Reno is closer to 1,040.
Delivery Area
Las Vegas, Henderson, and Reno are easy. Tahoe and rural Nevada take more planning.
Season
Winter can add time over the passes. Spring and fall are usually the best value.
Open or Enclosed
Open is the standard. Enclosed keeps gravel, road salt, and desert sun 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 catch a truck already heading west on I-70.

Get My Colorado to Nevada QuoteGood to Know
Before You Ship & After You Arrive
A few Nevada-specific things worth knowing.
Registering in Nevada
New residents have 30 days to register with the Nevada DMV. Out-of-state vehicles need a VIN inspection, and the Las Vegas and Reno areas require emissions testing for many vehicles. Check dmv.nv.gov for current requirements.
Moving With the Military
We ship for airmen, sailors, and families moving from Peterson, Schriever, Buckley, and the Air Force Academy to Nellis, Creech, and NAS Fallon.
HOA and Gated Communities
Many Las Vegas and Henderson neighborhoods have gate rules for trucks. Share them when you book, or pick a nearby lot.
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 Nevada Car Shipping FAQs
How long does it take to ship a car from Colorado to Nevada?
Usually 2 to 4 days after pickup. Las Vegas is on the faster end.
How much does it cost to ship a car from Colorado to Nevada?
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 to Nellis AFB?
Yes. We regularly ship for airmen and families. Give us your report date when you request a quote.
Does Nevada require an emissions test?
In the Las Vegas and Reno areas, many vehicles do. Out-of-state cars also need a VIN inspection when you register.
Why ship instead of driving from Colorado to Nevada?
It's one or two days over the Rockies and through the desert. If it's winter or you're moving two cars, shipping is the easier choice.
Can you ship a car from Nevada back to Colorado?
Yes. Request a quote with your Nevada pickup address and your Colorado delivery address. Every shipment is door-to-door.
Is my car insured during transport?
Yes. Every carrier we work with must carry active cargo insurance. Your car's condition is recorded on the Bill of Lading at pickup and checked again at delivery. Personal items left in the car 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 balance to the driver at delivery by cash or check, or pay in full at that point.
