Moving from Colorado Springs to Malibu is a long-distance move of roughly 998 road miles, heading west from Colorado to California.

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 $5,380 to $8,000 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 17 h 54 min.

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 7 around Malibu (2 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 Malibu.

Colorado Springs has a population of about 494,743 and Malibu about 10,000. Colorado Springs is considerably denser (2,451 people per square mile versus 537), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. California is a higher-cost state than Colorado, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

Tips for this move

Check whether a shuttle truck is needed in Malibu 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.
Verify the carrier's USDOT and MC numbers on the FMCSA site before paying a deposit.

Frequently asked questions

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

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $2,150 to $3,200 for a studio, $3,230 to $4,800 for a one-bedroom, $5,380 to $8,000 for a two-bedroom, $8,610 to $12,810 for a three-bedroom and $11,840 to $17,610 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Malibu from Colorado Springs?

About 998 road miles (846 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 17 h 54 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

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.

Does my mover need interstate authority for this move?

Yes. Crossing from Colorado into California 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 Malibu?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,480 to $2,080 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,910 to $2,810. 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–Malibu corridor.
