Reverse: Montgomery → Gilbert

Moving from Gilbert to Montgomery is a cross-country move of roughly 1,743 road miles, heading east from Arizona to Alabama.

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 $6,000 to $8,920 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 5 to 10 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 30 hours (4 driving days).

On the Gilbert side there are 449 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (182 of them authorized for interstate work), and 172 around Montgomery (94 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 Montgomery.

Gilbert has a population of about 287,285 and Montgomery about 195,300. Gilbert is considerably denser (3,906 people per square mile versus 1,255), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Labor and living costs run lower in Alabama than in Arizona, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Gilbert to Montgomery?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $2,400 to $3,570 for a studio, $3,600 to $5,350 for a one-bedroom, $6,000 to $8,920 for a two-bedroom, $9,590 to $14,280 for a three-bedroom and $13,190 to $19,630 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Montgomery from Gilbert?

About 1,743 road miles (1,477 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 30 hours (4 driving days).

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 5 to 10 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 Arizona into Alabama 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 Gilbert to Montgomery?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $2,390 to $3,380 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,580 to $3,790. 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 Gilbert–Montgomery corridor.
