Cheyenne, WY → Fort Collins, CO · Local move
About 50 road miles heading south. Typical two-bedroom cost $1,290–$1,920, delivery in 0–1 days, 31 carriers on the Cheyenne side and 104 in Fort Collins.
The route from Cheyenne, WY to Fort Collins, CO covers roughly 50 miles by road, a south-bound trip that falls into the local move category for pricing purposes.
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 1 h 34 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $1,290 and $1,920, before packing or storage.
On the Cheyenne side there are 31 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (23 of them authorized for interstate work), and 104 around Fort Collins (46 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 Fort Collins.
Cheyenne has a population of about 66,000 and Fort Collins about 171,500. Fort Collins is the denser city (2,969 people per square mile versus 1,792 in Cheyenne), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Colorado is a higher-cost state than Wyoming, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses. Note that Colorado does collect a state income tax, unlike Wyoming, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

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.
Yes. Crossing from Wyoming into Colorado 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 $200 to $280 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,060 to $1,570. 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 Cheyenne–Fort Collins corridor.
