Cheapest ways to move from Arizona to Colorado

There are three main ways to make this move. From cheapest to most expensive:

  • Rent a truck. You pack, load, drive and unload yourself. It costs the least in cash, but on a trip of 795 to 920 miles add fuel, hotels, meals and your own time.
  • Use a moving container. The company drops a container at your home, you load it, and they drive it to Colorado. You avoid the long drive and pay less than full service.
  • Hire full-service movers. The crew packs (if you want), loads, drives and unloads. It costs the most but saves the most work, and the mover is responsible for your belongings in transit.

Ways to lower the price with any option:

  • Move less. Interstate moves are priced mostly by weight, so selling or donating what you won’t use cuts the bill.
  • Pick the date. October to April, weekdays and mid-month dates usually cost less than summer weekends and month-end.
  • Book early. Booking 6 to 8 weeks ahead can save 10 to 20% compared to a last-minute move.
  • Compare written estimates. Get at least three, based on a real look at your home, not a phone guess.

The drive from Arizona to Colorado

Between the main cities the drive is 795 to 920 miles, typically about 16 hours behind the wheel.

If you drive yourself while the movers take your belongings, plan at least one overnight stop, and agree on a delivery window in writing so someone is there to unload.

Moving to Colorado: what to know

Colorado has a flat state income tax. Denver sits at about 5,280 feet, and winter storms can close I-70 through the mountains, so allow extra delivery time between November and April.

How to choose a mover from Arizona to Colorado

  1. Check the mover’s USDOT number on the FMCSA website. Every interstate mover must have one.
  2. Ask for an in-home or video survey, not a phone guess. Estimates based on a real look at your home are more accurate.
  3. Ask for a binding or not-to-exceed estimate so the price can’t jump on delivery day.
  4. Interstate movers must give you the FMCSA booklet “Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move”. If they don’t, walk away.
  5. Never pay a large deposit in cash. A big upfront demand is a common sign of a moving scam.
