Reverse: Denver → Great Falls

The route from Great Falls, MT to Denver, CO covers roughly 735 miles by road, a southeast-bound trip that falls into the long-distance move category for pricing purposes.

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 $4,120 to $6,140 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 13 h 22 min.

On the Great Falls side there are 28 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (21 of them authorized for interstate work), and 1,411 around Denver (531 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 Denver.

Great Falls has a population of about 60,000 and Denver about 740,613. Denver is the denser city (4,674 people per square mile versus 2,613 in Great Falls), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Colorado is a higher-cost state than Montana, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Great Falls to Denver?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,650 to $2,450 for a studio, $2,470 to $3,680 for a one-bedroom, $4,120 to $6,140 for a two-bedroom, $6,600 to $9,820 for a three-bedroom and $9,070 to $13,500 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Denver from Great Falls?

About 735 road miles (623 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 13 h 22 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 Montana 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.

Is it cheaper to rent a truck or use a container for Great Falls to Denver?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,060 to $1,490 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,680 to $2,460. 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 Great Falls–Denver corridor.
