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.
We had to send the car back to the dealership in Georgia and Sequoia did a really great job for us. Highly recommended!!!
Professional service and reasonable price considering they had to winch my car on the trailer.

In Denver the weather has more say over a shipment than the streets do, and which weather depends on the month and on the way the car leaves town. More people leave Colorado for Texas, California and Arizona than for anywhere else, so plenty of Denver cars head south on I-25 or west over the mountains on I-70, while the plains to the east have storms of their own and the whole metro gets hail in summer.
It can, and in winter the direction decides how. Heading west, the car crosses the mountains on I-70, where winter runs long enough that Colorado makes trucks carry chains from September through May, so a storm up there can cost the driver some hours. Heading east or north, it’s the plains instead. When a blizzard comes across them, usually in November or March, the state closes eastbound I-70 at the edge of the metro, sometimes I-76 toward Nebraska as well, and keeps it shut until the storm has passed, which tends to be a day or so. A loaded truck waits like everyone else, so a delivery in Kansas City or Chicago moves back by that day too.
Not necessarily, which matters if you’re buying a Denver car from somewhere else. Hail an inch across or bigger is reported somewhere in the metro on about a dozen days a year, almost all of them between May and August, and Colorado’s salvage law leaves hail out, so a car an insurer wrote off after a hailstorm can still carry a clean title. Flood damage would be branded; hail only shows on the car itself. Dents are easiest to see in low, raking light, so that’s the kind of photo to ask the seller for, and if the car is worth it, have a body shop in Denver look it over before you book the truck.

Shipping a car from Denver costs about $0.75 to $1.20 a mile on an open carrier. That comes to $850 to $1,050 for Dallas, $1,000 to $1,250 for Atlanta.
A car shipped out of Denver usually spends 2 to 6 days on the truck. Dallas takes 2 to 4 days and Phoenix 3 to 4, Los Angeles, Seattle and Atlanta 3 to 5, and New York and Orlando 4 to 6. These are estimates, because the driver is picking up and dropping off other cars along the way.
A car moving to Denver from another state needs a VIN verification before it can be registered, and an emissions test first if it runs on gas and is more than seven years old. Both are done with the car in front of the inspector. The emissions test waits until it's delivered, but police where the car is now can sign the VIN form before it ships, and Colorado gives you 90 days from becoming a resident to finish registering. Denver's motor vehicle branches do the VIN check for $25, but not when it's below freezing, so on a cold winter day a dealer, the police or an emissions station is the way to get it done.
Wash the car so its condition is easy to record, photograph it from each corner, and leave about a quarter tank of fuel. Take out anything above the 100 pound personal item allowance, and take your toll transponder such as FasTrak, E-ZPass or SunPass off the windshield, because toll gantries can read it while the car rides the truck. Have a working key ready for the driver.
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.
The truck waits until the road is safe to drive, and your pickup or delivery date moves with it. We'll confirm the driver's new window with you as soon as the road reopens. Snow on the mountain passes and in the northern states, and hurricanes along the Gulf and Atlantic coasts, are the usual causes.
Every shipment is insured by the carrier under federal cargo liability requirements.
To ship a car, request a quote with your origin, destination, and vehicle details. Sequoia matches you with a driver according to your pickup window, the driver picks up your vehicle, and delivers it at your destination.
