Colorado Springs to Denver moving cost by home size
Short in-state moves are usually priced by the hour. These estimates add a typical crew’s loading and unloading time to the 1-hour drive between the two cities:
| Home size | Typical crew | Estimated cost |
|---|---|---|
| Studio | 2 movers, 3–5 h | $300 – $700 |
| 1 bedroom | 2 movers, 3–5 h | $300 – $700 |
| 2 bedrooms | 3 movers, 5–7 h | $650 – $1,400 |

| 4+ bedrooms | 4–5 movers, 9–12 h | $1,450 – $3,250 |
Estimates use crew sizes, loading hours and hourly rates from the MovingRated movers hourly rates guide (June 2026), plus the drive at the crew’s hourly rate, rounded to the nearest $100. Some movers also charge travel time from their depot, or price longer in-state moves by weight. These are not MoveLeads quotes; your mover prices your actual move.

What changes the price
- Hours. Short moves are priced by crew size and time, so packing ahead and having everything ready cuts the bill.
- Season. May to September is peak season and costs the most. October to April is usually cheaper.
- Timing. Weekdays and mid-month dates cost less than weekends and month-end. Booking 6 to 8 weeks ahead can save 10 to 20%.
- Extras. Packing, stairs, long carries from the truck, shuttle trucks and heavy items like pianos or safes add to the bill.

Moving to Denver: what to know
Winter snow can close mountain passes like I-70 and delay deliveries from the west. Denver sits at about 5,280 feet, so plan for the altitude during a physical move day.
Leaving Colorado Springs
Colorado Springs is about 70 miles south of Denver and home to several military bases. Some neighborhoods are hilly with steep driveways, so mention access when you get quotes.
Before you book a mover
- Check the mover’s Colorado license or registration where required, and ask for proof of insurance.
- Ask for an in-home or video survey, not a phone guess. Estimates based on a real look at your home are more accurate.
- Ask for a binding or not-to-exceed estimate so the price can’t jump on delivery day.
- Never pay a large deposit in cash. A big upfront demand is a common sign of a moving scam.
