Aurora, CO → Prescott, AZ · Long-distance move
About 652 road miles heading southwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $3,950–$5,870, delivery in 2–5 days, 1,183 carriers on the Aurora side and 32 in Prescott.
Moving from Aurora to Prescott is a long-distance move of roughly 652 road miles, heading southwest from Colorado to Arizona.
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 $3,950 to $5,870 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 57 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 32 around Prescott (13 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 Prescott.
Aurora has a population of about 410,053 and Prescott about 47,000. Aurora is considerably denser (2,413 people per square mile versus 931), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination.

About 652 road miles (553 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 11 h 57 min.
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 Arizona 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 $970 to $1,370 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,600 to $2,360. 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–Prescott corridor.
