How much do movers cost for a local or cross-country move to Phoenix?

The cost of movers varies widely depending on whether the move is local or long distance, how much you are moving, the time of year, and whether you pack yourself or hire full service. Local moves within the Phoenix area are usually charged by the hour and can range from a few hundred to over a thousand dollars for a typical home. Cross-country moves are typically priced by weight and distance and can cost several thousand dollars or more. Summer is peak moving season in Arizona, so prices and availability are often worse during the hot months. Get quotes from at least three licensed and insured moving companies, and confirm what is included. You can save money by packing yourself and moving during the off-season.
