Aurora, CO → Centennial, CO · Local move
About 13 road miles heading southwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $1,160–$1,720, delivery in 0–1 days, 1,183 carriers on the Aurora side and 826 in Centennial.
Centennial sits about 13 miles southwest of Aurora, so this is an in-state move that most movers classify as a local move.
Because the two cities are close together, most companies quote this move by the hour: a crew of two to four movers plus a truck, with the drive of about 24 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $1,160 and $1,720, before packing or storage.
On the Aurora side there are 1,183 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (464 of them authorized for interstate work), and 826 around Centennial (318 interstate). For an in-state 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 Centennial.
Aurora has a population of about 410,053 and Centennial about 108,658. Centennial is the denser city (3,650 people per square mile versus 2,413 in Aurora), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.

About 13 road miles (11 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 24 min.
For a move this short, loading and delivery normally happen on the same day. Most crews finish a two-bedroom home in 5 to 8 hours plus the drive.
No. Because both Aurora and Centennial are in Colorado, this is an intrastate move regulated by the state rather than the FMCSA. Still, choosing a carrier with an active USDOT number is the easiest way to confirm the company is a registered motor carrier with insurance on file.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $160 to $230 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,030 to $1,520. 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.
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 Aurora–Centennial corridor.
