About this route
Why so many cars go from Colorado to New York
About 6,548 people moved from Colorado to New York in each of the last two years, according to the Census Bureau's American Community Survey (5,110 in 2023, 7,985 in 2024). That is 3.1% of everyone who left Colorado for another state.
Traffic runs both ways — about 5,044 people a year move from New York back to Colorado — so carriers run this lane year-round and quotes tend to be steady.
How the price compares
At a typical $1,375, shipping from Colorado to New York costs more than sending a car to Virginia ($1,350) and North Carolina ($1,275) but less than to Florida ($1,400). That works out to about 72¢ a mile — long hauls cost less per mile because loading and paperwork are spread over more distance.
Distance and transit time
At roughly 1,920 road miles, Denver to New York is a cross-country haul. Federal hours-of-service rules cap truck drivers at 11 hours behind the wheel a day, so plan on 4–7 days in transit once the car is loaded. The car heads east-northeast and crosses 2 time zones — from Mountain to Eastern time — so confirm whether the delivery window you are given is in local time.
On the road
- The route crosses mountain passes in the West; from November to March, snow and chain laws can hold trucks for a day or two.
