Moving from Kent to Burbank is a long-distance move of roughly 1,102 road miles, heading south from Washington to California.

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 $5,850 to $8,710 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 3 to 7 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 19 h 42 min.

On the Kent side there are 646 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (317 of them authorized for interstate work), and 896 around Burbank (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 Burbank.

Kent has a population of about 134,871 and Burbank about 102,988. Burbank is the denser city (6,204 people per square mile versus 4,041 in Kent), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. California is a higher-cost state than Washington, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses. Note that California does collect a state income tax, unlike Washington, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Kent to Burbank?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $2,340 to $3,480 for a studio, $3,510 to $5,220 for a one-bedroom, $5,850 to $8,710 for a two-bedroom, $9,360 to $13,930 for a three-bedroom and $12,870 to $19,150 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Burbank from Kent?

About 1,102 road miles (934 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 19 h 42 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 3 to 7 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 Washington into California 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 Kent to Burbank?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,580 to $2,230 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,000 to $2,950. 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 Kent–Burbank corridor.
