How far is it, and How Long Does it take to ship a Car?

vehicles on a transporting truck

The distance between Alabama and Colorado is relatively short. The distance between the two states covers 1500 miles. That is almost the exact distance between Colorado and Kansas. Most carriers cover roughly 500 miles per day. Considering the possibility of unforeseen circumstances, transporting a vehicle from Alabama to Colorado will take 3-4 days.

Nevertheless, the service you choose will impact the duration of your vehicle's delivery. Express shipping makes the delivery faster, while regular shipping may take time.

Understanding Seasonal Price Variations

Shipping costs between Alabama and Colorado can fluctuate based on the time of year. During peak moving seasons, such as summer and early fall, increased demand can lead to higher prices and limited carrier availability. Conversely, winter months might offer lower rates but have potential weather-related delays. Planning your shipment during off-peak times can help you secure better rates and more flexible scheduling.

Choosing Between Open and Enclosed Transport

When deciding on a transport method, consider the type and value of your vehicle. Open transport is the most common and cost-effective option, suitable for standard cars. However, if you're transporting a luxury, classic, or high-value car, enclosed transport provides added protection from weather and road debris, albeit at a higher cost. Assess your vehicle's needs and your budget to make an informed choice.

Preparing Your Vehicle for Transport

Proper preparation ensures a smooth shipping process. Clean your vehicle inside and out to facilitate a thorough inspection. Remove personal items and any loose accessories to prevent damage during transit. Ensure the gas tank is about a quarter full, and check for any leaks or mechanical issues. Document the vehicle's condition with photos before pickup, providing a clear record in case of any disputes.

What are the Most Cost-Effective Means of Auto Transport?

truck transport vehicle

The use of an open-air truck or trailer has made shipping a vehicle affordable. Although it is one of the cheapest methods of transporting a vehicle, it has its adverse effects. Usually, the vehicle is placed on the truck or trailer, which exposes it to the weather, which may affect the car’s condition.

Bryce Mattingly
Smooth and Straightforward Truck Transport
★★★★★

I had a truck shipped from Tennessee to North Dakota, and the whole process was refreshingly simple. I just entered the details online, got a fair quote, and everything was set. Pick-up and drop-off happened exactly when scheduled, and the driver handled it all professionally. There is no barrage of broker calls, just one point of contact the whole way through. Definitely a service I’d come back to.

Stephen Weller
Reliable and Damage-Free Classic Car Delivery
★★★★★

Shipped two classic cars without a hitch. They arrived safely and right on time, just as promised. I appreciated getting photo updates at both the loading and unloading points; it showed they really took care. The vehicles were secured correctly, and there was no damage at all solid job from start to finish.

Gloria Menendez
Beware of Last-Minute Charges and Excuses
★★★★★

My first shipment from Illinois to El Paso went fine. It was a reasonable price, and there were no surprises. However, when I tried to bring the car back to Chicago several months later, the quote jumped significantly after waiting several days in the queue. Then came another charge for "excess weight," which made no sense since the car barely had fuel. The whole thing felt shady, especially after they warned me about other companies doing it in a disappointing second round.

Trevor Vance
Disorganized Booking, but Great Driver Communication
★★★★★

I was told I could pick exact shipping dates from Alabama to Colorado, but that wasn’t true. When the actual date shifted, I was out of town and couldn’t be there for pickup. It caused a lot of problems that could’ve been avoided with better upfront communication. The driver, however, was excellent very communicative and clear once the job was underway.
