Moving from Colorado Springs to Akron is a long-distance move of roughly 1,459 road miles, heading east from Colorado to Ohio.

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 $5,850 to $8,700 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 3 to 7 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 25 hours (3 driving days).

On the Colorado Springs side there are 247 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (70 of them authorized for interstate work), and 349 around Akron (215 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 Akron.

Colorado Springs has a population of about 494,743 and Akron about 189,691. The two cities have comparable density (2,451 and 3,077 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Labor and living costs run lower in Ohio than in Colorado, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home.

Tips for this move

Declutter first: long-haul pricing is by weight, so every hundred pounds you sell or donate saves money.
Check whether a shuttle truck is needed in Akron if a 53-foot trailer cannot reach your street.
Keep vehicle titles, passports and prescriptions with you; movers cannot carry some items at all.
Insist on a binding or binding-not-to-exceed estimate after an in-home or video survey.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Colorado Springs to Akron?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $2,340 to $3,480 for a studio, $3,510 to $5,220 for a one-bedroom, $5,850 to $8,700 for a two-bedroom, $9,360 to $13,920 for a three-bedroom and $12,860 to $19,140 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Akron from Colorado Springs?

About 1,459 road miles (1,236 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 25 hours (3 driving days).

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 3 to 7 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.

Does my mover need interstate authority for this move?

Yes. Crossing from Colorado into Ohio 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.

Is it cheaper to rent a truck or use a container for Colorado Springs to Akron?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $2,100 to $2,960 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,320 to $3,410. 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.

When is the least expensive time to book this move?

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 Colorado Springs–Akron corridor.
