Florida to Colorado Auto Transport
Shipping a Car From Florida to Colorado
Orlando to Denver is about 1,850 miles, up through Atlanta and Nashville and west on I-70 across Missouri and Kansas. From Pensacola, Colorado Springs is closer to 1,330 by way of Dallas. It's three to four long days of driving.
There's a strong Space Force link here. Guardians and contractors move between Patrick SFB and Cape Canaveral and the bases around Colorado Springs. We also ship for Floridians who want mountains, four seasons, and an escape from hurricane season, people taking jobs in Denver and Boulder, and families who keep a summer place in the Rockies.
Door-to-door, a final-price quote, and $0 due at booking.

The Route
How Cars Get From Florida to Colorado
Peninsula loads take I-75 to Atlanta, I-24 through Chattanooga and Nashville to St. Louis, and I-70 west across Missouri and Kansas into Denver. Colorado Springs is south on I-25.
Panhandle loads usually run west on I-10 and up through Dallas and the Texas Panhandle on US-287, which comes into Colorado from the south. Ski towns like Vail and Breckenridge are up I-70 in the mountains and take extra planning in winter.
Along the Way
- Orlando → Atlanta~440 mi
- Atlanta → Nashville~250 mi
- Nashville → St. Louis~310 mi
- St. Louis → Kansas City~250 mi
- Kansas City → Denver~600 mi
Approximate distances. The exact route depends on the carrier's other stops.
Timing
When to Ship Florida to Colorado
Mountain winters and Florida's seasons both play a part.
Spring Northbound Rush
March through May, trucks leaving Florida fill up fast. Book a week or two ahead.
Colorado Winter
Blizzards on I-70 in Kansas and eastern Colorado, plus mountain snow, can slow trucks from December through March.
Summer Escapes
Lots of Floridians head to Colorado for the summer. June is a busy month for westbound trucks.
Hurricane Season
June through November can delay pickups along the Florida coasts. Keep a little slack in your dates.
Pricing
How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Car From Florida to Colorado?
Here's what moves the price between Florida and Colorado.
Distance
The Panhandle is about 1,330 miles from Colorado Springs. South Florida is closer to 2,070 from Denver.
Season
Spring out of Florida is the busiest time. Fall is often the best value.
Delivery Area
Front Range suburbs are easy. Central Denver and ski towns usually need a meeting spot.
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 catch a truck already heading west.

Before You Ship & After You Arrive
A few Colorado-specific things worth knowing.
Registering in Colorado
New residents register with their county motor vehicle office. Out-of-state vehicles need a VIN verification, and the Denver and Boulder areas require emissions testing for many vehicles. Check dmv.colorado.gov for current requirements.
Moving With the Military
We ship for Guardians, airmen, soldiers, and families moving from Patrick SFB, Eglin, Hurlburt, and MacDill to Peterson, Schriever, Buckley, Fort Carson, and the Air Force Academy.
Get Winter-Ready
Coming from Florida? Colorado winters call for all-season or snow tires and a strong battery.
Florida Pickups
Gated communities, HOA truck rules, condo garages, and tight streets in places like Miami Beach and Key West can keep a carrier off your street. If so, the driver will set up a nearby meeting spot, usually a lot just off I-95, I-75, I-4, or the Turnpike.
