Shipping from Aurora, CO

Aurora is the eastern suburbs of Denver and carriers treat it as part of the Denver metro. Manheim Denver is actually located in Aurora at 17500 East 32nd Avenue, which means this is where the carrier and dealer activity is concentrated for the whole region. That is a significant advantage. I-70 runs east through Aurora heading toward Kansas City and connects west into Denver toward the mountains. I-225 cuts through Aurora connecting I-70 to I-25 in the southern metro. The dealer market across Aurora, Centennial, Parker, and the southeast Denver suburbs is active and growing.

Pickups in Aurora typically run 2 to 4 days. Because Manheim Denver is physically located in Aurora, carriers are already staging in this part of the metro regularly. That is a real edge compared to other suburbs in the Denver area. I-70 eastbound is a major transcontinental carrier corridor and Aurora sits right at the on-ramp. Winter is the one caution. Snow storms in the Denver metro and ice on I-70 heading into the mountains can delay pickups by a day or two in January and February. Aurora itself at around 5,400 feet elevation does get weather.

Solid Market

Arriving in Tucson, AZ

Tucson benefits enormously from its position on I-10 between Phoenix and El Paso. Phoenix is only about 115 miles north and carriers running that corridor pass through Tucson constantly. Manheim Tucson is located at 7090 South Craycroft Road and keeps a consistent flow of dealer vehicles moving through the market. IAA also has a Tucson location. That auction activity, combined with the University of Arizona population and the steady stream of retirees moving in and out of Southern Arizona, makes this a more active market than you might expect for a city of this size. It is not Phoenix, but it is not El Paso either.

Delivering to Tucson is generally straightforward. The city has good arterial roads that accommodate car haulers. The main consideration is the Tucson Mountains and some of the residential areas in the Foothills, where streets get narrow and steep. Carriers delivering to those areas will typically request a meetup at a nearby flat street or parking lot. Most deliveries inside the metro go smoothly without any special coordination.

Pricing on This Route

Shipping a standard sedan from Aurora to Tucson on open carrier currently estimates between $500 and $800. That is based on the 759-mile distance and current market conditions.

Aurora prices are Denver prices. The mountain premium that affects the whole Front Range applies here too. Routes heading west over the Rockies on I-70 toward Salt Lake City and the Pacific Coast carry that elevation and pass risk premium. Routes east toward Kansas City and Chicago on I-70 are very well priced because carrier traffic in both directions is strong. Dallas, Phoenix, and Houston lanes are active and competitive. Summer is the peak season. Winter sees some pricing volatility tied to weather. Get a quote to see your exact price.

Tucson typically runs at or slightly above the national average. It is not as expensive as El Paso because of the Phoenix proximity, which gives carriers a logical two stop run. The Tucson to Phoenix lane and Tucson to Los Angeles lane via I-10 are both active and reasonably priced. Routes to the Southeast, Midwest, and Northwest cost more because they require carriers to route specifically through Southern Arizona rather than passing through on a natural corridor. Summer is the softest pricing season. Get a quote to see your exact price.
