Denver ↔ Chicago Shipping FAQ

Transit time is approximately 3 days door-to-door once the carrier has your vehicle on the truck. Pickup typically happens within 1-3 business days of booking. Total time from booking to delivery: 5-7 days in the standard window. Express pickup (next-day) is available for a fee.
Off-peak windows for this corridor are usually late spring (April-May) and early fall (September-October), when carrier supply outpaces demand. Avoid major holidays (Thanksgiving, Christmas/New Year, July 4th) — rates climb 15-25% in those weeks. Booking 7-10 days ahead consistently saves 5-10% vs. same-week pickup.
Yes. Every carrier we work with maintains a minimum $750,000-$1,000,000 in cargo liability insurance. Super AutoHaul adds gap coverage up to $250,000 on every shipment at no extra cost. Optional comprehensive coverage through Tint is available at booking for high-value vehicles.
Yes — door-to-door is the default. The exception is dense urban areas where the truck physically can't fit (narrow downtown side streets, gated communities with low clearance). In those cases the driver will arrange a meet-up point a few blocks away that's accessible to a 70+ ft auto carrier. You'll know the exact pickup spot before booking.
Yes. Non-running (or 'inop') vehicles require a carrier with a winch — about 30% of our fleet. There's a $150 surcharge for the equipment and the extra time. Pickup windows are slightly longer (typically 2-4 days) because we're matching to a smaller subset of carriers.
Yes. Enclosed transport ($1,350-$1,600) is the right choice for classics, exotics, and any vehicle worth $75K+. Enclosed trailers protect against weather, road debris, and prying eyes. We can match you to soft-tie or hard-tie carriers depending on your vehicle (soft-tie for low-clearance show cars, hard-tie for daily drivers).
The quoted price covers door-to-door pickup and delivery, $750K-$1M cargo insurance via the carrier, $250K gap coverage from us, live GPS tracking from pickup to delivery, and 24/7 driver and dispatcher contact. There are no fuel surcharges, no booking fees, and no hidden insurance fees. The price you see is the price you pay.
