Reverse: Garden City → Lee's Summit

Moving from Lee's Summit to Garden City is a regional long-distance move of roughly 420 road miles, heading west from Missouri to Kansas.

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 $2,890 to $4,300 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 3 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 7 h 57 min.

On the Lee's Summit side there are 213 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (168 of them authorized for interstate work), and 19 around Garden City (13 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 Garden City.

Lee's Summit has a population of about 107,514 and Garden City about 28,000. Garden City is the denser city (2,557 people per square mile versus 1,582 in Lee's Summit), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.

Tips for this move

Photograph high-value items before loading and keep the inventory sheet the crew gives you.

Get three written estimates; at this distance quotes can vary by a third for the same inventory.
Ask whether the carrier will use one truck end to end or transfer your goods at a terminal.

Frequently asked questions

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

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,160 to $1,720 for a studio, $1,740 to $2,580 for a one-bedroom, $2,890 to $4,300 for a two-bedroom, $4,630 to $6,890 for a three-bedroom and $6,360 to $9,470 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Garden City from Lee's Summit?

About 420 road miles (356 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 7 h 57 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 1 to 3 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 Missouri into Kansas 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 Lee's Summit to Garden City?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $580 to $820 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,390 to $2,050. 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 Lee's Summit–Garden City corridor.
