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.

Arriving in Austin, TX

Austin has become one of the fastest growing auto transport markets in the country over the last several years and the volume has followed. The tech industry boom brought tens of thousands of relocations from California, the Northeast, and the Pacific Northwest, and that created enormous shipping demand in both directions. I-35 is the main north to south corridor connecting Austin to Dallas and San Antonio. I-10 is accessible nearby heading east to Houston and west to the Hill Country. Dealer density has grown significantly and auction activity is solid. This market is active and getting more active every year.

Delivering to Austin is strong. The inbound relocation traffic means carriers frequently need to fill their trucks heading to Austin from both coasts. From California, the Southwest, and the Northeast carriers run to Austin regularly. It is a desirable delivery market because carriers know they can find a return load. Expect 2 to 4 days on most routes.

Pricing on This Route

Shipping a standard sedan from Aurora to Austin on open carrier currently estimates between $650 and $950. That is based on the 935-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.

Austin pricing runs close to the national average with a few notable corridors. The Austin to California route is competitive and often well priced. The Austin to Dallas and Austin to Houston lanes are very affordable because of the sheer volume. Long haul routes to the Northeast run at market rate. The relocation boom has actually kept prices reasonable because it brought more carrier supply to match the demand.
