Aurora, CO → Lawrence, KS · Long-distance move
About 599 road miles heading east. Typical two-bedroom cost $3,650–$5,420, delivery in 2–5 days, 1,183 carriers on the Aurora side and 17 in Lawrence.
Moving from Aurora to Lawrence is a long-distance move of roughly 599 road miles, heading east from Colorado to Kansas.
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 $3,650 to $5,420 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 11 h 2 min.
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 17 around Lawrence (14 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 Lawrence.
Aurora has a population of about 410,053 and Lawrence about 95,000. The two cities have comparable density (2,413 and 2,772 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Labor and living costs run lower in Kansas than in Colorado, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home.

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.
Yes. Crossing from Colorado into Kansas 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.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $920 to $1,290 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,550 to $2,290. 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–Lawrence corridor.
