Colorado to Nevada Auto Transport Challenges & Tips
Colorado to Nevada is a two- to five-day trip west over the Rockies or across Wyoming. Mountain snow on I-70 and I-80, desert heat and big convention weeks in Las Vegas cause most of the delays. Here's what to plan for.
I-70 Through the Rockies
West of Denver, I-70 climbs to more than 11,000 feet at the Eisenhower Tunnel and crosses Vail Pass. Winter storms bring chain laws and closures, and rockslides can close Glenwood Canyon.
Wind and Snow in Wyoming
I-80 across southern Wyoming is high, open and known for strong winds. In winter, snow and wind can close long stretches of it, and carriers have to wait for it to reopen.
Summer Heat in Las Vegas
Las Vegas summers often top 110 degrees. Heat is hard on weak batteries and old tires, so check both before pickup, and plan to meet the driver in the morning if you can.
Tip: Watch for Big Convention Weeks
Big conventions like CES in January bring huge crowds to Las Vegas and fill the roads around the Strip. If your delivery is near the Strip, ask your driver to avoid those weeks or meet you away from the busiest areas.
Tip: Get Nevada Insurance Before You Register
Nevada gives new residents 30 days to register their cars, and out-of-state insurance is not accepted. You need a policy from a Nevada-licensed insurer first. Cars coming from Colorado also need a VIN inspection at the DMV, and most gas and diesel cars in the Las Vegas and Reno areas need a smog check.
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.

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.
