Colorado to Kansas Auto Transport Challenges & Tips
Colorado to Kansas is a two- to four-day trip east on I-70. Wind and blizzards on the plains, spring storms and Front Range snowstorms at pickup 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.
Spring Storms in Kansas
From April through June, Kansas gets strong storms with hail, high winds and tornadoes. Carriers pull over and wait out the worst of it, which can add a few hours or a day.
Kansas Turnpike Tolls
I-70 between Topeka and Kansas City is part of the Kansas Turnpike, a toll road, and truck tolls are part of what carriers charge.
Winter Pickups on the Front Range
Snowstorms along the Front Range can close I-25 and the highways east of Denver, sometimes for a day. A big storm on pickup day can push the truck back, so a flexible pickup date helps from November through April.
Tip: Get the Inspection Before You Title in Kansas
Kansas requires title and registration for a car kept in the state 90 days or more. Before you title, take the car and your Colorado title to a Kansas motor vehicle inspection station for an inspection form, then bring that form, the title and proof of insurance to your county treasurer's motor vehicle office.
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.
