Colorado to Texas Car Shipping

Typical open-carrier cost: $650–$1,050 for a running sedan. Transit time: 2–4 days. A straightforward run down I-25 and I-35, and one of the cheaper lanes we handle.

Denver to Dallas and Houston is a well-worn path. Plenty of people relocate between Colorado and Texas, so carriers run it often and prices stay reasonable.

The route and one winter caveat

Most carriers run I-25 south out of Denver, then I-35 down through Oklahoma into Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin, San Antonio, or over to Houston. It is a simple corridor. The one thing to watch is winter weather on the Colorado end. A snowstorm along the Front Range or Raton Pass can delay a pickup by a day, so leave a little room in your schedule from December through March.
