Moving from Kahului to Tempe is a cross-country move of roughly 3,361 road miles, heading northeast from Hawaii to Arizona.

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 $10,210 to $15,190 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 7 to 14 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 58 hours (7 driving days).

On the Kahului side there are 45 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (9 of them authorized for interstate work), and 886 around Tempe (350 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 Tempe.

Kahului has a population of about 29,000 and Tempe about 190,571. Tempe is the denser city (4,526 people per square mile versus 1,962 in Kahului), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Labor and living costs run lower in Arizona than in Hawaii, 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 Kahului to Tempe?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $4,080 to $6,080 for a studio, $6,130 to $9,110 for a one-bedroom, $10,210 to $15,190 for a two-bedroom, $16,330 to $24,300 for a three-bedroom and $22,460 to $33,410 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Tempe from Kahului?

About 3,361 road miles (2,848 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 58 hours (7 driving days).

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 7 to 14 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 Hawaii into Arizona 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 Kahului to Tempe?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $4,650 to $6,570 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $4,020 to $5,910. 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 Kahului–Tempe corridor.
