Transport services offered
Driving from one part of the country to the next may take several hours, days, or even weeks. You cannot afford to spend that much time behind the wheel if you only need to deliver the vehicle to a new destination. We have an affordable moving solution using the open-air standard.
The enclosed trucks guarantee better safety for classic, luxury, and high-performance race cars. Our fleet uses modern equipment to secure the loading and unloading process. The air-compressed suspension systems will help to give the vehicles a smooth ride on rough roads.
The following is a list of options available to vehicle owners when planning a move anywhere in the world.
- Roll-on/roll-off (RoRo) standard is the cheapest international hauling option. We use a high-volume vessel to move thousands of vehicles across the sea. RoRo describes how a team of handlers will drive the cars on and off the ship when loading and unloading.
- Containerized shipping: A container helps to secure the cargo in transit by shielding it from the elements and against contact with potential hazards. You can opt between a shared and an exclusive option. Sharing is a good idea to reduce shipping costs.
You can have a remarkable experience by choosing from any of our delivery options when shipping cars to or from Telluride.
- Door-to-door shipping will send our representative to fetch and deliver the vehicle at any convenient point that you choose, such as your residence.
- For the terminal moving option to work effectively, you should find it easy to reach a transportation depot in Colorado for the drop-off/pickup.
Types Of Vehicles That We Ship
We can deliver ordinary sedans and station wagons, SUVs, trucks, vans and minivans, tractors, farm machinery, boats, freight cargo and more.
How To Prepare An Auto For Hauling
Find out if you need to prepare any paperwork by visiting the relevant Directorate of Motor Vehicles (DMV). Get all the necessary information on vehicle registration, driver’s license, and state taxes.
Take out all the personal items, household goods, and valuables from the vehicle. The insurance policy will not protect such effects from possible losses or damage during transit.
Clean the vehicle so that you can have a thorough inspection process. The transporter should note all the pre-existing cosmetic damage to the car on the Bill of Lading. You can take photographs of all sides using a smartphone or dedicated camera. Remember to include date stamps on all the records.
Any damage to custom accessories like DVD players, GPS, spoilers, grills, and ground effects may not fall under insurance protection. We recommend that you take them out and make separate carrier arrangements.
Keeping the vehicle in running shape may help you avoid any extra charges. Try to run a working maintenance check on the engine oil, coolant, anti-freeze, transmission fluid, battery, and tires. Leave about a quarter of the gas in the tank, allowing the transporter to start and drive the car when necessary.
Fold in the side-view mirrors and retract the antenna. Cover all the loose parts on the exterior to protect them from damage. Prepare a spare set of keys for the truck driver at the collection.
Disable the alarm system and deactivate the toll tags and parking passes. Note the current odometer reading and confirm all the contact and delivery addresses before giving out the vehicle.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to ship a car to or from Telluride, CO?
As of September 4, 2026, Telluride car shipping on an open carrier is about $550-$900 under 500 miles and $700-$1,500 for 500-1,500 miles. Longer cross-country moves over 1,500 miles typically run $1,100-$1,800 for a standard operable vehicle. Larger vehicles, enclosed transport, seasonal demand, and difficult pickup access can move a quote toward the upper end. A1's car shipping rates guide explains the main pricing inputs for a route-specific estimate.
How long does car shipping take from Telluride, CO?
Car shipping to or from Telluride commonly takes 1-3 loaded transit days under 500 miles, 3-6 days for 500-1,500 miles, and about 7-10 days for longer cross-country moves. These windows begin after the vehicle is picked up; carrier assignment and pickup scheduling happen beforehand. Mountain weather, road work, or the need for a truck-accessible meeting point can add time near Telluride. Treat the delivery window as an estimate rather than a guaranteed arrival date.
Is open or enclosed car shipping better for Telluride?
Open transport is usually the practical choice for everyday cars and SUVs going to or from Telluride, while enclosed transport better suits high-value, classic, exotic, or collector vehicles. Open carriers are more widely available and generally cost less. Enclosed trailers reduce exposure to rain, snow, dirt, and road debris, but they carry fewer vehicles and cost more. If added protection matters more than price, review A1's enclosed auto transport options before booking.
What’s the best time of year to ship a car to Telluride, CO?
For easier local access, late spring through early fall is generally preferable to winter for Telluride car shipping, although conditions can affect any shipment. Winter service is still possible, but the Town of Telluride applies winter parking rules from November 1 through April 1 so crews can plow snow and clear ice. Those restrictions can limit where a large carrier can stop for pickup or delivery. For a winter shipment, allow schedule flexibility and follow the parking and snow-removal signs posted on your block.
Are there door-to-door delivery options in Telluride?
Yes, door-to-door car shipping is available in Telluride, with the driver getting as close to your requested address as safely and legally possible. A large carrier may need a nearby wide, level meeting point when street access, parking controls, snow, or road work limits safe stopping. CDOT still lists CO 145 just west of Society Turn Roundabout as active construction, with lane shifts and delays of up to five minutes scheduled through early September. A1's door-to-door auto transport service explains alternate meeting points.
