Upfront pricing
What a move from Denver costs
Published market ranges rather than a Denver rate card — the price follows the lane, and nothing in our data prices a lane by its city end. Distance, vehicle size, open or enclosed and the direction of the lane move them. We do not quote transport: the carrier sets the price and confirms it with you before pickup.
| Service | Typical range | What is included |
|---|---|---|
| Open carrier, under 500 miles | $1.25 – $2per mile | Short hauls carry the highest rate per mile because loading, paperwork and the driver day cost the same whether the trip is 300 miles or 3,000. |
| Open carrier, 500 to 1,500 miles | $0.65 – $1.2per mile | The middle band, and where most one-off household moves land. |
| Open carrier, over 1,500 miles | $0.55 – $0.95per mile | Cross-country lanes are the cheapest per mile and the most expensive in total. |
| Enclosed carrier instead of open | $30 – $60percent added to the open rate | An enclosed trailer carries fewer cars, runs fewer lanes and takes longer to load, so each slot on it costs more. |
| Vehicle that does not run | $150 – $300flat, added to the quote | Covers winch loading and the constrained trailer position a non-running car has to occupy. It still has to roll, steer and brake. |
Estimates only. Final price confirmed by the local operator before dispatch.

Questions about Car shipping in Denver
Can a carrier pick up or deliver in Denver?
Carriers run loads through Denver in both directions, and whether one has a slot for your dates depends on the lane and the week. Send your route and vehicle details and we pass them to the carriers running that corridor; they quote you and contract with you directly.
How much does Car shipping cost from Denver?
It follows the lane rather than the city. The per-mile rate falls as the trip gets longer, so a move from Denver to the next state costs more per mile and far less in total than a cross-country one. Vehicle size, open or enclosed, whether it runs and how far each address sits off the corridor all move it. The ranges on this page are published market data rather than an offer: the carrier sets the price and confirms it with you before pickup.
Which routes do carriers run through Denver?
The corridors that carry the freight: I-25, I-70, I-225, I-270, I-76, US-6, and US-285. A carrier builds its route around them, so a pickup or delivery near one is easier to fit into a load than an address well off them. Give the ZIP code at both ends, and say if the street is narrow, gated, has low branches or bans commercial vehicles, so a meeting point is planned rather than discovered on the day.
Can a carrier collect a vehicle at the airport in Denver?
Denver International Airport (DEN) sit in this area, and a driver can usually meet you near one. A full car carrier is about the length of a semi with a low ramp, so it cannot use most terminal decks or garages; the meeting point is normally a nearby lot with room to load. Say which terminal or lot you will be at when you send the route.
What does the weather in Denver do to vehicles?
Heavy wet snow arrives as late as spring, and the altitude means the temperature can swing dramatically within a single day. Cold starts, buried cars and slide-offs on the ramps around I-25 and I-70 drive most of the winter call volume.
Do you book the transport or take payment for it?
No. InterCar Group holds no FMCSA operating authority, so we never quote a firm price, never take a deposit and never put a truck on your lane. We pass your route and vehicle details to licensed carriers. They quote you, they contract with you and they are paid by you, directly. Everything on this page is information about how carrier pricing and paperwork work, so that you can judge the quotes you receive.
