About this route
Why so many cars go from New York to Colorado
About 5,044 people moved from New York to Colorado in each of the last two years, according to the Census Bureau's American Community Survey (6,295 in 2023, 3,792 in 2024). That is 1.1% of everyone who left New York for another state.
Traffic runs both ways — about 6,548 people a year move from Colorado back to New York — so carriers run this lane year-round and quotes tend to be steady.
How the price compares
At a typical $1,375, shipping from New York to Colorado costs more than sending a car to Texas ($1,275) and Florida ($1,175) but less than to Arizona ($1,600) and California ($1,725). 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
Count on 4–7 days on the truck for the 1,920 road miles from New York to Denver — federal rules cap drivers at 11 hours a day behind the wheel, and a full carrier makes several stops on the way. The car heads west 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.
