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.

How To Prepare An Auto For Hauling

truck carrying eight vehicle

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?

The average cost to ship a vehicle to or from Telluride, Colorado ranges between $700 and $1,300, depending on the distance, vehicle size, carrier type, and season. Shorter routes within Colorado are on the lower end, while cross-country shipments to the East Coast can exceed $1,200.

To compare rates and book a carrier, see our detailed car shipping cost guide.

How long does car shipping take from Telluride, CO?

Car shipping from or to Telluride typically takes 3–7 days for regional transport and up to 9 days for coast-to-coast routes. Factors like weather in the San Juan Mountains, carrier route availability, and your chosen service type (open vs. enclosed) all affect timing.

Can I ship my Kia Telluride or SUV safely to Colorado?

Yes. Large SUVs like the Kia Telluride are routinely shipped using enclosed or open carriers. Enclosed transport offers protection from road debris and weather, ideal for new or high-value vehicles. Open carriers are more budget-friendly but still safe for most SUVs. Learn more about protective options in our enclosed auto transport guide.

What’s the best time of year to ship a car to Telluride, CO?

The most reliable months for auto transport in Telluride are May through October, when mountain passes are clear and carrier availability is higher. Winter shipping is possible, but expect delays due to snow or icy conditions on US-550 and other access roads. Booking early during winter helps secure reliable carriers familiar with Colorado’s alpine routes.

Are there door-to-door delivery options in Telluride?

Yes, most carriers offer door-to-door car delivery in and around Telluride, as long as local roads can safely accommodate transport trucks. If access is limited by narrow or snow-covered roads, pickup may occur at a nearby major intersection or flat parking area. You can learn more about convenient delivery setups with our door-to-door auto transport service.
