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.

San Diego is a strong and active auto transport market with some unique advantages. I-5 runs straight through the city connecting it to Los Angeles 120 miles north and to the Mexican border at San Ysidro. I-15 heads inland and north toward Riverside and Las Vegas. Carriers running the LA to San Diego corridor are constant because there is always demand in both directions. Auction activity is real here. Manheim San Diego operates out of Oceanside at the north end of the county. ADESA San Diego is located near the border in Otay Ranch. Copart and IAA both have San Diego locations as well. Add in the military presence from Camp Pendleton, MCAS Miramar, and NAS Coronado and you have a steady drumbeat of military relocation shipments year round. This is a solid, dependable market.
Deliveries to San Diego are generally smooth. Carriers on I-5 from the north have a natural endpoint here, and many load up in LA to fill the last slots with San Diego cars. Neighborhoods with wide streets and good access are easiest. If you are in downtown or near the Gaslamp Quarter, carriers may ask to deliver nearby rather than navigate the parking situation. Hillcrest and North Park are manageable. The North County cities like Escondido, Vista, and Oceanside are easy delivers and often match up with carrier routes heading back north.
Shipping a standard sedan from Aurora to San Diego on open carrier currently estimates between $575 and $875. That is based on the 1,024-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.
San Diego runs close to the national average on most routes. The LA to San Diego lane is one of the most competitive short hauls in the country because carriers are constantly running it. Longer routes like San Diego to Phoenix, Las Vegas, or the Pacific Northwest are very active and priced well. Routes to the Midwest or East Coast price similarly to LA because carriers use I-5 or I-40 to get there and San Diego is a natural first or last stop. Military PCS season in the spring and summer can push prices up slightly as demand spikes. Get a quote to see your exact price.
