Movers in Arizona

Moving in or out of Arizona? Understand what your move should cost, how to tell an in-state move from a state-to-state one, and get quotes from moving professionals covering 264 Arizona cities and towns.

How moving works in Arizona

Arizona has an estimated 7,431,344 residents (US Census Bureau, 2023) spread across the 264 cities and towns we cover. 13 of them have 100,000 people or more and 16 are mid-sized places between 25,000 and 100,000, with Phoenix the largest at 1,650,070, about 22.2% of everyone in the state. With several sizeable cities, Arizona generally has movers based in more than one region, so collecting quotes from companies near both ends of your route is a sensible habit.

Moving costs in Arizona

What you pay comes down to four things: how much you’re moving, how far it’s going, how much packing you want done for you, and when you move. Moves that stay inside Arizona are usually priced by the hour with a crew and truck; moves that cross the Arizona line are priced on the weight of your shipment and the distance travelled.

Summer weekends and the first and last days of the month are the busiest and most expensive times to move anywhere in Arizona. A midweek date outside those windows is the single easiest way to lower your quote.

In-state or state-to-state?

If both addresses are inside Arizona, you need in-state movers. If you’re crossing a state line, you need an interstate carrier with a USDOT number. Ask for a written estimate either way, and check that the estimate lists services rather than just a total.
