Glendale, AZ → Scottsdale, AZ · Local move
About 25 road miles heading northeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $1,150–$1,720, delivery in 0–1 days, 1,051 carriers on the Glendale side and 431 in Scottsdale.
Scottsdale sits about 25 miles northeast of Glendale, so this is an in-state move that most movers classify as a local move.
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 47 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $1,150 and $1,720, before packing or storage.
On the Glendale side there are 1,051 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (452 of them authorized for interstate work), and 431 around Scottsdale (174 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 Scottsdale.
Glendale has a population of about 260,572 and Scottsdale about 243,006. Glendale is considerably denser (4,031 people per square mile versus 1,312), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination.

About 25 road miles (22 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 47 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 Glendale and Scottsdale are in Arizona, 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 $180 to $250 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,040 to $1,530. 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 Glendale–Scottsdale corridor.
