Reverse: Flagstaff → Lakewood

Flagstaff sits about 559 miles southwest of Lakewood, which makes this an interstate relocation from Colorado to Arizona 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 $3,710 to $5,510 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 10 h 20 min.

On the Lakewood side there are 1,122 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (405 of them authorized for interstate work), and 18 around Flagstaff (8 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 Flagstaff.

Lakewood has a population of about 156,927 and Flagstaff about 78,000. Lakewood is considerably denser (3,586 people per square mile versus 1,164), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Lakewood to Flagstaff?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,480 to $2,210 for a studio, $2,220 to $3,310 for a one-bedroom, $3,710 to $5,510 for a two-bedroom, $5,930 to $8,820 for a three-bedroom and $8,150 to $12,130 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Flagstaff from Lakewood?

About 559 road miles (474 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 10 h 20 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 Colorado 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 Lakewood to Flagstaff?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $870 to $1,230 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,520 to $2,230. 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 Lakewood–Flagstaff corridor.
