Reverse: Lee's Summit → Kansas City

Moving from Kansas City to Lee's Summit is a local move of roughly 28 road miles, heading southeast from Kansas to Missouri.

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 53 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $1,070 and $1,590, before packing or storage.

On the Kansas City side there are 421 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (339 of them authorized for interstate work), and 213 around Lee's Summit (168 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 Lee's Summit.

Kansas City has a population of about 157,805 and Lee's Summit about 107,514. The two cities have comparable density (1,256 and 1,582 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Kansas City to Lee's Summit?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $560 to $840 for a studio, $660 to $990 for a one-bedroom, $1,070 to $1,590 for a two-bedroom, $1,660 to $2,480 for a three-bedroom and $2,500 to $3,720 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Lee's Summit from Kansas City?

About 28 road miles (24 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 53 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

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.

Does my mover need interstate authority for this move?

Yes. Crossing from Kansas into Missouri 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 Kansas City to Lee's Summit?

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 $1,540. 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 Kansas City–Lee's Summit corridor.
