OPEN car shipping

With open transport, your car rides exposed on a multi-vehicle hauler, resulting in cost savings and more flexible scheduling. This is the most cost-effective method for Boulder car shipping; the trade off is that you might find some highway dirt or weather residue along the way. This is only cosmetic and won’t cause mechanical damage to your vehicle.

ENCLOSED car shipping

Enclosed trailers make sense for specific vehicles like luxury or exotic sports cars, or anything where pristine condition matters. This method comes at a higher price, but provides added protection. Your car is fully covered, shielded from unpredictable weather, road debris, and UV exposure. Hydraulic loading equipment handles lowered cars without scraping risks.

5 things to consider when transporting a car to or from Boulder

  • Colorado gives residents 90 days to register out-of-state vehicles. Visit a local DMV and bring your title, proof of insurance, and residency documents. You’ll also get a state park pass with your registration, offering free access to mountain parks and other recreation areas.
  • Boulder County requires emissions testing as part of Colorado’s Front Range air quality program. Gas vehicles from 1982 or newer need testing every other year; older vehicles need annual inspections.
  • Colorado requires auto insurance minimums: $25,000 per person for bodily injury, $50,000 per accident, and $15,000 for property damage.
  • Mountain weather affects Boulder transport schedules. Canyon road closures, surprise snowstorms in spring and fall, and winter conditions can delay shipments. Build flexibility into your vehicle shipping timeline. Our tracking links keep you updated on your vehicle’s location and any weather-related delays.
  • Boulder’s bike-friendly culture means cyclists everywhere—Pearl Street, CU campus, mountain access roads. Drive carefully and watch for bikes in traffic, especially during nice weather when Boulder’s extensive bike lane network sees heavy use.
