About this route

Why so many cars go from Georgia to Colorado

About 5,209 people moved from Georgia to Colorado in each of the last two years, according to the Census Bureau's American Community Survey (6,522 in 2023, 3,896 in 2024). That is 2.2% of everyone who left Georgia for another state.

Traffic runs both ways — about 4,874 people a year move from Colorado back to Georgia — so carriers run this lane year-round and quotes tend to be steady.

How the price compares

At a typical $1,200, shipping from Georgia to Colorado costs more than sending a car to New York ($1,000) and Texas ($975) but less than to Arizona ($1,350) and California ($1,500). That works out to about 85¢ a mile.

Distance and transit time

Expect about 1,420 road miles from Atlanta to Denver — 3–6 days on the truck after pickup. Carriers usually load several cars before heading out, so the pickup window matters as much as transit time. The car heads west-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.
