Denver is the auto transport hub of the Rocky Mountain region and it is the only true hub for hundreds of miles in any direction. That gives it real importance. I-70 runs east toward Kansas City and west into the Rockies toward Salt Lake City. I-25 runs north to south connecting Wyoming down through Colorado Springs to New Mexico. There is a Manheim location in Denver. The dealer market across the Front Range including Boulder, Fort Collins, Colorado Springs, and the suburbs is solid and growing. Carriers running the I-70 corridor make Denver a natural stop.
Pickups in Denver usually run 2 to 4 days. The city is active enough that carriers are moving through regularly, but it is not a mega hub with same day availability. The I-70 corridor heading east toward Kansas City is one of the more active lanes out of Denver. Heading west into the mountains adds a layer of complexity because mountain passes on I-70 close occasionally in winter and carriers plan routes around them. If you are shipping in winter, especially December through February, build in a little extra time for the mountain pass factor. Heading north and south on I-25 is generally smoother.
Chicago is the crossroads of American auto transport. Four major interstates converge here. I-90 and I-94 run east to west. I-55 drops south toward St. Louis. I-80 is one of the most heavily used carrier corridors in the country running straight across the middle of the US. Manheim Chicago is one of the largest and most active auto auctions in the Midwest. The dealer market across the metro and suburbs is deep. Carriers are always moving through Chicago because there is always another load waiting for them.
Chicago is a strong delivery market. Carriers on I-80 from the coasts, I-55 from Dallas and the south, and I-90 from the northeast are all natural fits for dropping cars off here. Deliver to the suburbs and it is simple. Deliver to downtown Chicago proper and it is manageable but expect the carrier to request a meetup point rather than pulling a full hauler through the Loop.
Shipping a standard sedan from Denver to Chicago on open carrier currently estimates between $625 and $925. That is based on the 1,120-mile distance and current market conditions.
Denver runs slightly above the national average, mostly because of the mountain premium that carriers factor in for routes crossing the Rockies, and because it is not on the flat carrier superhighways like I-10 or I-80. The Denver to Dallas lane and Denver to LA lane are very active and competitively priced. Routes to and from the Pacific Northwest and the Midwest are solid. Get a quote to see your specific lane.
Chicago runs right around the national average on most routes. Summer is busiest and prices edge up a little. Winter sees slightly more variability because of the weather factor. Routes to and from the South, Texas, and Florida are very active and competitively priced. Long haul routes to the West Coast are solid because carriers on I-80 fill up in both directions.
