Reverse: Aurora → Abilene

Aurora sits about 676 miles northwest of Abilene, which makes this an interstate relocation from Texas to Colorado that most movers classify as a long-distance move.

At this distance carriers price by shipment weight and mileage rather than by the hour. A two-bedroom home (around 5,000 lb of goods) typically costs $3,930 to $5,850 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 2 to 5 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 12 h 21 min.

On the Abilene side there are 44 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (14 of them authorized for interstate work), and 1,183 around Aurora (464 interstate). For an interstate move you can book from either end; movers near the origin handle loading and are usually the better first call, while a destination-side company can be useful if you need storage or delivery-day help in Aurora.

Abilene has a population of about 131,588 and Aurora about 410,053. Aurora is the denser city (2,413 people per square mile versus 1,173 in Abilene), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Colorado is a higher-cost state than Texas, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses. Note that Colorado does collect a state income tax, unlike Texas, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Abilene to Aurora?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,570 to $2,340 for a studio, $2,360 to $3,510 for a one-bedroom, $3,930 to $5,850 for a two-bedroom, $6,290 to $9,360 for a three-bedroom and $8,650 to $12,880 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Aurora from Abilene?

About 676 road miles (573 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 12 h 21 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 2 to 5 days after pickup. Carriers give a spread rather than a fixed date because long-distance trucks carry several shipments; a dedicated truck or expedited service shortens the window for an extra fee.

Does my mover need interstate authority for this move?

Yes. Crossing from Texas into Colorado makes this an interstate move, so the carrier must hold active FMCSA operating authority (an MC number) in addition to its USDOT number. The company cards on this page flag which carriers are authorized for interstate work.

Is it cheaper to rent a truck or use a container for Abilene to Aurora?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $990 to $1,400 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,620 to $2,390. Both save money versus a full-service crew but you do the loading, and container transit can take longer than a mover's delivery window.

When is the least expensive time to book this move?

Rates are highest in summer and around the last days of any month, when demand peaks. Mid-month, mid-week and winter dates are usually quoted below the standard rate. Booking four to eight weeks ahead gives you the widest choice of carriers on the Abilene–Aurora corridor.
