Movers in Colorado

Moving in or out of Colorado? 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 402 Colorado cities and towns.

How moving works in Colorado

Colorado has an estimated 5,877,610 residents (US Census Bureau, 2023) spread across the 402 cities and towns we cover. 11 of them have 100,000 people or more and 15 are mid-sized places between 25,000 and 100,000, with Denver the largest at 716,577, about 12.2% of everyone in the state. With several sizeable cities, Colorado 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 Colorado

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 Colorado are usually priced by the hour with a crew and truck; moves that cross the Colorado 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 Colorado. 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 Colorado, 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.
