Licensed & bonded (DOT/MC). Every carrier is verified with active cargo insurance before accepting your shipment."Really great experience. Roadrunner contracted UZ Auto Transport out of Denver, to ship my sedan from Los Angeles to Colorado in late April 2026, for about $1100 (about the same number of miles if I had to drive myself). This was my first time ever shipping a car and it couldn't have been easier."

"Great experience in having a vehicle I bought in Idaho transported to Arizona. The only negative would be that the subcontractor didn’t use Roadrunner’s text update system, but the driver did keep me updated when he was close to our pick-up location. I would recommend."

"I recently moved from Denver, CO to Greensboro, NC. I got the car to them on a Saturday and got it that Wednesday. The car was well taken care of while it was in their possession. The transporter was readily available throughout the transport and communicated with me every step of the way."

"My car looks amazing and the driver got it all the way from Miami, FL to Denver, CO in a little over 3 days. The driver communicated direct with me. It was a great experience and a good price."

Open or Enclosed Transport for Colorado to Idaho?
Open car transport is the standard choice for most shipments and the most economical way to ship a daily driver, SUV, or truck. Your car rides with 8–10 others on a multi-vehicle trailer, driven on via built-in ramps and secured to the deck for the trip — the same way dealers move new inventory. See open auto transport for details.
Enclosed car shipping earns its premium of roughly 50% when the vehicle itself calls for it: luxury, classic, and exotic cars, a vehicle fresh off the dealer lot with no road miles, or anything you would not want exposed to weather and road debris. If you're weighing the two, our guide to the difference between enclosed and open auto transport covers it in detail.
Expedited shipping is also available when the calendar is not negotiable: guaranteed pickup windows and direct driver routes that get your vehicle there faster. It is the option time-sensitive moves lean on, from military relocations to students starting a new semester.

One factor that makes shipping a car from Colorado to Idaho easy is the well-maintained transportation infrastructure of both states. Colorado is home to several major highways, including I-70, I-25, and I-76, that connect it to Idaho and the rest of the country. Idaho, on the other hand, has a robust system of state highways and interstates, such as I-84 and I-15, that provide easy access to major cities and towns.
Another factor that makes this journey a breeze is the relatively short distance between the two states. With a distance of just over 600 miles, shipping a car from Colorado to Idaho typically takes anywhere from 1-3 days, depending on the specific route and carrier.
At RoadRunner Auto Transport, we understand that time is money, and we strive to make the shipping process as efficient and cost-effective as possible.

Prep and empty the vehicle
Wash the car, leave about a quarter tank of fuel, and remove personal items. Anything left inside is not protected against loss or damage in transit.
Inspect at pickup and delivery
Walk around the vehicle with the driver at both ends, photograph its condition, and note anything new on the Bill of Lading before signing.
