Vehicles leaving the IAA Denver East yard load a short hop from I-76, with I-25 roughly 4 miles out and I-70 roughly 5 miles out. Those are the corridors a car hauler actually runs to reach this gate, and the yard sits northeast of Denver.
Booking a pickup here
Carriers can only load while the gate is open, so a truck arriving after closing waits until the next business day — that is why we book a pickup window rather than just a date. If you have won vehicles at more than one yard in this area, say so on the quote: putting them on a single carrier is normally cheaper than booking separate pickups.
How far is IAA Denver East from major cities?
Driving distances from this yard: Thornton 7 mi (14 min), Westminster 12 mi (19 min), Denver 12 mi (21 min), Aurora 14 mi (21 min). Larger metros: Colorado Springs 75 mi (1 hr 33 min), Albuquerque 453 mi (8 hr), Wichita 518 mi (8 hr 48 min). Mileage is measured on the road network, not in a straight line, and the times shown are typical car drive times. A loaded carrier runs slower and works to a pickup window, so plan on 1-3 days of transit to those metros once a truck is dispatched.
