Understanding Colorado to Connecticut Car Shipping Rates
The cost to ship a car from Colorado to Connecticut is determined by several key factors. The size and weight of your vehicle are primary considerations—a large SUV will cost more than a compact sedan. The choice between an open carrier (more affordable) and an enclosed carrier (more protection from the elements) will impact your quote. Finally, seasonality plays a big role; shipping during the summer or around major holidays is typically more expensive than in the off-season due to higher demand on the East Coast routes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Bill of Lading?
The Bill of Lading (BOL) is the most important document in your auto transport. It serves as a receipt and an inspection report. You and the driver will sign it at both pickup and delivery after inspecting your vehicle for any pre-existing and new damage. Always keep your copy of the BOL.
How do I prepare my car for shipping?
You should clean your car inside and out, remove all personal items, ensure the gas tank is about 1/4 full, and check for any fluid leaks. Documenting the condition of your vehicle with photos is also a great idea. See our full car preparation checklist for more details.
Can I ship my car with stuff in it?
We recommend shipping your vehicle with no more than 100 lbs. of personal items in the trunk. Carriers are not licensed to transport household goods and their insurance does not cover personal items. Learn more about shipping a car with personal items.
What is door-to-door auto transport?
Door-to-door service means the carrier will pick up and deliver your vehicle as close to your specified addresses as legally and safely possible. If a large truck cannot access your street, you may need to meet the driver at a nearby large parking lot.
