Arizona to Colorado Car Shipping

Heading north out of Arizona, the estimated price window is $590 to $900 for distances of roughly 739 to 962 miles. Phoenix-area pickups make up most of the demand, so costs are usually decided by how far north in Colorado the destination is: Pueblo and Colorado Springs are nearest, while Greeley and Boulder are farther.

• Gilbert to Colorado Springs (783 miles): $570–$814
• Phoenix to Thornton (828 miles): $591–$845
• Scottsdale to Greeley (914 miles): $633–$905
• Tucson to Boulder (927 miles): $642–$918

These are estimates only. Your price also reflects the car, the date and open versus enclosed transport. Heavier vehicles cost more, and a non-running car carries an extra fee.

Colorado destinations on our route pages include Arvada, Aurora, Boulder, Centennial, Colorado Springs, Fort Collins, Greeley, Lakewood and Pueblo, so most Front Range addresses can be priced online. Entering the exact cities gives you a closer estimate than the general range above.

A typical Arizona to Colorado delivery takes 2–3 days in transit. Before the drive starts, the truck is assigned and pickup falls within 1–3 business days of your booking.

Points that affect the schedule:

• The Arizona starting point. Tucson starts are farther from Colorado than Phoenix starts, which is reflected in the estimates.
• The Colorado destination. Denver-area addresses are on the main corridor; mountain towns and areas off the interstate may require a meeting point.
• Winter. Snow on I-25 and in the Denver metro area is the main risk between November and March.

A flexible pickup date is the easiest way to get the car on a truck sooner.

Dispatch confirms the expected pickup day with you, and the driver typically calls before delivery in Colorado so you can arrange to be there or to meet at a nearby lot.

Trucks leaving the Phoenix area go north on I-17 to Flagstaff, then follow I-40 east into New Mexico. From there carriers turn north on I-25 through Albuquerque, Santa Fe and over Raton Pass into Colorado, arriving at Pueblo and Colorado Springs before reaching Denver. Tucson loads join the route in Phoenix first.

Many Arizona residents spend summers in cooler Colorado, so late spring brings extra northbound requests, and autumn brings the opposite. Moves for school and work cluster around August.

When it comes to the final miles, Aurora, Thornton and Greeley are served from Denver, and Boulder is reached on US-36 or by highway north from the city. Boulder streets can be tight, so a drop-off at a larger nearby road is common.

A short note for northbound movers: carriers are used to Colorado conditions, but spring storms can still bring heavy snow to the Front Range, so a delivery in April or May is not automatically free of delays. If your car must arrive by a certain date, share it when you book and keep a spare day in the plan.

Most Arizona to Colorado cars go by open carrier. If your vehicle is a collectible, a convertible or a new purchase and you want it covered from the first sun-baked mile in Arizona to the last snowy one in Colorado, enclosed transport is the better fit. It costs more.

Whichever carrier you choose, take photos of the car before pickup and compare them at delivery against the inspection report.
