Towing a car from Denver to Cheyenne: cost, AAA limits and the Colorado-Wyoming line
101 miles, just past both cut-offs
By road Denver to Cheyenne is 101 miles, about 1 hour 51 minutes, almost entirely on I-25. A straight line is 97 miles. That puts the trip 1 mile beyond the 100-mile AAA Plus limit and inside the range where estimates include the long-distance reduction. A sedan tow from Denver is $375-$508.
How the price builds up
A Denver operator typically charges a $90 hookup and $4.25 for every mile. The 101 miles come to $429 in mileage and $519 before the 15% reduction, which leaves about $441. Same trip, other vehicles:
- Flatbed (30% more, $117 hookup): $488-$660
- SUV or crossover: $431-$584
- Truck or van: $469-$635
- Motorcycle: $300-$406
With the truck starting in Cheyenne ($80 hookup, $3.75 a mile) the sedan range is $331-$448.
AAA tier by tier
Plus covers 100 of the 101 miles, so the overage is a single mile, which a contracted tow company typically bills at $4-$7. Premier, whose limit is 200 miles on one tow a year, has room to spare. Classic, at about 5 miles, leaves 96 miles, roughly $384-$672. Your club's own limits may differ.
Ship or tow at 100 miles
At around 100 miles carriers and tow trucks are close on price. Carriers typically quote $250-$450 here, against $375-$508 for the tow, and they need advance booking. If the car has to move today, the tow wins on timing.
Colorado into Wyoming
Colorado's Public Utilities Commission limits a base tow to $250.91 for vehicles up to 10,000 lbs when the owner did not order the tow, for example a car removed from private property. Wyoming has no statewide cap whatsoever, so on that side the price rests on what you agree. For a tow you book yourself, get everything in writing first: total, per-mile rate and extras. Complaints go to the Colorado Public Utilities Commission (PUC) or the Wyoming Attorney General's Consumer Protection and Antitrust Unit.
