Colorado to Indiana Auto Transport Challenges & Tips
Colorado to Indiana is a three- to five-day trip east on I-70. Wind and storms in Kansas, work zones in Missouri and traffic at the St. Louis river crossing cause most of the delays. Here's what to plan for.
Wind and Storms on I-70 in Kansas
I-70 across eastern Colorado and Kansas is long, flat and open. Strong crosswinds, spring storms and winter blizzards can slow trucks or close the road for hours.
Work Zones on I-70 in Missouri
Missouri is adding a third lane to much of I-70 across the state. The work zones can slow trucks between Kansas City and St. Louis, especially around Columbia.
Crossing the Mississippi at St. Louis
Routes east on I-70 and I-64 cross the Mississippi River at St. Louis, where several interstates meet near downtown. Rush-hour backups are common, so drivers try to cross at midday or in the evening.
Tip: Be Flexible on Pickup Dates
A pickup window of two or three days lets a carrier fit your car onto a full truck, which often lowers the price and firms up the schedule.
Tip: Title Within 60 Days in Indiana
Indiana gives new residents 60 days to apply for a title. Bring the car to a BMV branch so the VIN can be inspected, along with your Colorado title, proof of address and proof of insurance. If you live in Lake or Porter County, you will also need an emissions test.
Tip: Prepare Your Vehicle Properly
Clean your car and remove personal items before pickup. Take date-stamped photos from every side, keep the gas tank at a quarter full or less, and check tire pressure. For a full checklist, read our article on Preparing Your Car for Transport.

Yes. Carriers with a winch can load and unload a car that doesn't run, as long as it rolls, steers and brakes. Expect to pay about $150 to $300 more than for a running car, and tell us the car doesn't run when you request quotes so you are matched with the right carrier. Shipping an Inoperable Vehicle explains how it works.
