Lake Havasu City, AZ → Lakewood, CO · Long-distance move
About 732 road miles heading northeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $4,160–$6,180, delivery in 2–5 days, 24 carriers on the Lake Havasu City side and 1,122 in Lakewood.
Lakewood sits about 732 miles northeast of Lake Havasu City, which makes this an interstate relocation from Arizona to Colorado that most movers classify as a long-distance move.
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 $4,160 to $6,180 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 19 min.
On the Lake Havasu City side there are 24 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (20 of them authorized for interstate work), and 1,122 around Lakewood (405 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 Lakewood.
Lake Havasu City has a population of about 58,000 and Lakewood about 156,927. Lakewood is the denser city (3,586 people per square mile versus 1,233 in Lake Havasu City), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.

About 732 road miles (621 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 13 h 19 min.
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.
Yes. Crossing from Arizona 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.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,050 to $1,490 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,670 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.
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 Lake Havasu City–Lakewood corridor.
