Great experience! It was very personalized and attentive. I had an emergency move and they managed to pick up the car just the next day after booking.
It is a really professional company, and the service was great, and we also really value the environmental contributions they are doing. Thank you guys!! Will move my car again with you ❤️

A car bought from a California dealer can go from the lot straight onto the truck, and for a Colorado buyer that handover is worth arranging on purpose, because it decides which state taxes the sale. A car you already own raises none of this. Colorado charges no use tax on a car you owned before moving here, so one that’s coming with you owes nothing at the county beyond registration and the yearly ownership tax.
California sales tax doesn’t apply when the dealer hands the car to a carrier that takes it out of state. The carrier can even be one you hired yourself, because what counts is that the contract has the dealer ship the car and that you never take delivery of it in California.
Collecting it in person changes that. Once the car is handed to you at the dealer, California taxes the sale even if you drive it straight to the state line, because the rule looks at where you took delivery, not where the car ends up. So for a car bought in Los Angeles or the Bay Area, have it go from the lot onto the truck.
Colorado then collects its own tax when you register the car at the county, which is the state’s 2.9% plus any local tax where you live, less whatever sales tax you’ve already paid to another state. If California tax was charged anyway, keep the receipt. The credit rests on it.
If the move makes you a Colorado resident, these are the state's rules for the car.
