Kansas to Colorado Auto Transport
Shipping a Car From Kansas to Colorado
Wichita to Denver is about 520 miles, and Colorado Springs is closer to 460. From Overland Park, Denver is about 600 miles straight west on I-70, and from Hays it's only around 330. Most moves are one long day of driving.
Colorado is the number-one move for young Kansans, and the mountains are where Kansas families have been skiing for generations. We ship for KU and K-State grads starting jobs in Denver and Boulder, families with condos in Breckenridge and Winter Park, and retirees settling in Colorado Springs. We also ship cars for students at CSU and CU.

The Route
How Cars Get From Kansas to Colorado
Kansas City, Lawrence, Topeka, and Salina loads run straight out I-70 across the plains into Denver. Wichita pickups take I-135 to Salina to join I-70, or US-50 and US-287 toward Colorado Springs.
Fort Collins and Boulder are north on I-25. Ski towns are west on I-70 through the Eisenhower Tunnel.
Along the Way
- Kansas City → Salina~175 mi
- Salina → Colby~185 mi
- Colby → Denver~240 mi
Approximate distances. The exact route depends on the carrier's other stops.
Timing
When to Ship Kansas to Colorado
Plains wind and mountain snow drive the timing.
High Plains Winter
Blizzards can close I-70 between Colby and Limon for a day or more. Leave a little slack.
Ski Season
I-70 into the mountains gets snow and weekend traffic from December through March. Mountain deliveries take more planning.
Summer Moving Season
June through August is busiest for relocations to the Front Range. Book a week or two ahead.
Fall
Usually the smoothest time to ship.
Pricing
How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Car From Kansas to Colorado?
Here's what affects the price between Kansas and Colorado.
Distance
The Front Range is about 330 to 600 miles from most of Kansas.
A Straight Shot
I-70 is a major truck route, which keeps prices competitive.
Mountain Deliveries
Ski towns and steep driveways cost more and often need a meeting spot in town.
Open or Enclosed
Open is the standard. Enclosed is popular for nicer cars headed to the mountains.
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.

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.
Ski Condo Deliveries
Shipping a car to Breckenridge, Keystone, or Winter Park? The driver may meet you at a lot in town when roads are snowy.
Front Range Relocations
Starting a job in Denver, Boulder, or Colorado Springs? We'll time the delivery to your start date.
Kansas Pickups
HOA truck rules in Overland Park, Olathe, and Leawood subdivisions, game-day traffic in Lawrence and Manhattan, tight older streets in Wichita's College Hill and Riverside, and long gravel section roads out west can keep a big carrier off your street. If so, the driver will set up a nearby meeting spot, usually a lot just off I-35, I-70, I-135, I-435, or the Kansas Turnpike.

Can you deliver to a ski town in winter?

Does Colorado require an emissions test?
In the Denver and Boulder area, yes. Out-of-state vehicles also need a VIN verification when you register.
Is it cheaper to ship or drive from Kansas to Colorado?
It's a long day of driving. If you're moving two cars or flying, shipping saves the trip.

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.
