Centennial, CO → Vail, CO · Short-haul move
About 94 road miles heading west. Typical two-bedroom cost $1,580–$2,350, delivery in 1–2 days, 826 carriers on the Centennial side and 31 in Vail.
Moving from Centennial to Vail is a short-haul move of roughly 94 road miles, heading west within Colorado.
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 2 h 19 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $1,580 and $2,350, before packing or storage.
On the Centennial side there are 826 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (318 of them authorized for interstate work), and 31 around Vail (8 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 Vail.
Centennial has a population of about 108,658 and Vail about 5,000. Centennial is considerably denser (3,650 people per square mile versus 1,028), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination.

About 94 road miles (80 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 2 h 19 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 Centennial and Vail 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 $250 to $350 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,100 to $1,620. 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 Centennial–Vail corridor.
