Avondale, AZ → Goodyear, AZ · Local move
About 8 road miles heading southwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $1,070–$1,590, delivery in 0–1 days, 311 carriers on the Avondale side and 201 in Goodyear.
Goodyear sits about 8 miles southwest of Avondale, 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 15 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $1,070 and $1,590, before packing or storage.
On the Avondale side there are 311 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (138 of them authorized for interstate work), and 201 around Goodyear (97 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 Goodyear.
Avondale has a population of about 100,983 and Goodyear about 125,359. Avondale is considerably denser (1,889 people per square mile versus 498), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination.

About 8 road miles (5 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 15 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 Avondale and Goodyear are in Arizona, 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 $220 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,030 to $1,510. 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 Avondale–Goodyear corridor.
