Lee's Summit, MO → Kansas City, KS · Local move
About 28 road miles heading northwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $1,070–$1,590, delivery in 0–1 days, 213 carriers on the Lee's Summit side and 421 in Kansas City.
Kansas City sits about 28 miles northwest of Lee's Summit, which makes this an interstate relocation from Missouri to Kansas that most movers classify as a local move.
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 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 421 around Kansas City (339 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 Kansas City.
Lee's Summit has a population of about 107,514 and Kansas City about 157,805. The two cities have comparable density (1,582 and 1,256 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends.

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