About this route

Why so many cars go from Florida to Colorado

About 12,675 people moved from Florida to Colorado in each of the last two years, according to the Census Bureau's American Community Survey (12,786 in 2023, 12,564 in 2024). That is 2.5% of everyone who left Florida for another state.

Traffic runs both ways — about 11,608 people a year move from Colorado back to Florida — so carriers run this lane year-round and quotes tend to be steady.

How the price compares

At a typical $1,400, shipping from Florida to Colorado costs more than sending a car to Minnesota ($1,325) and Maine ($1,275) but less than to Arizona ($1,525) and Nevada ($1,625). That works out to about 69¢ a mile — long hauls cost less per mile because loading and paperwork are spread over more distance.

Distance and transit time

At roughly 2,030 road miles, Miami to Denver is a cross-country haul. Federal hours-of-service rules cap truck drivers at 11 hours behind the wheel a day, so plan on 5–8 days in transit once the car is loaded. The car heads northwest and crosses 2 time zones — from Eastern to Mountain 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.
Hurricane season (June–November) occasionally delays Gulf and Atlantic coast deliveries; carriers will reschedule rather than drive into a storm.
