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.
I'm really happy with the service!!! Fili is a really nice person and a professional.
Professional service and reasonable price considering they had to winch my car on the trailer.

For a car coming to Colorado, most of the planning happens after it’s delivered rather than before. Colorado taxes a car every year by its age and what it cost new, and the time you have to register it starts counting from your move, not from the day the truck arrives.
It depends mostly on how old the car is. The specific ownership tax is charged every year at registration, on 85% of what the car listed for new, and the rate drops as the car ages, so a car that listed at $40,000 pays about $500 in its second year and only $3 a year from its tenth. That’s why a nearly new car costs enough to register here to be worth budgeting for before you move, while on an older one the tax is small.
Colorado gives you 90 days to register, but the county clerks count them from the day you start work or start living in the county, not from the day the car is delivered, and a registration that comes later has its taxes charged back to when residency began. So if the car follows you by a few weeks, it’s worth booking it to arrive well inside the 90 days. An older gas car around Denver or Fort Collins needs its emissions test there in person, and the VIN check needs the car in front of the inspector too, unless it was done before the car left.
If the move makes you a Colorado resident, these are the state's rules for the car.

Shipping a car to or from Colorado typically runs $850 to $1,650 for open transport, depending on the corridor and the car. Texas, Arizona and California lanes run $850 to $1,350, Washington $1,000 to $1,450, and Florida, the longest of them, $1,300 to $1,650. Enclosed transport costs about 40 to 70% more, rising with distance.
A Colorado shipment takes an estimated 2 to 6 days on the truck. Cars to or from Texas usually take 2 to 4 days, Arizona 3 to 4, California and Washington 3 to 5, and Florida 4 to 6, because the driver is loading and unloading other cars along the way.
Yes, within 90 days of becoming a Colorado resident. Before the county clerk will register a car titled elsewhere, its VIN is checked in person by the police, a dealer or an emissions station, or by police in the state the car is leaving before it ships. A gas car more than seven years old needs an emissions test first if it will be registered in the Denver metro or the northern Front Range, though not in Colorado Springs. You'll also need a Colorado insurance policy on it.
The deposit is charged 7 days before your pickup window opens; for a pickup inside 7 days it is held on your card at booking and charged when your driver is confirmed. The remaining balance is paid to the driver at delivery.
