Reverse: Centennial → Pasadena

Moving from Pasadena to Centennial is a long-distance move of roughly 971 road miles, heading northeast from California to Colorado.

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 $5,300 to $7,890 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 17 h 27 min.

On the Pasadena side there are 822 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (337 of them authorized for interstate work), and 826 around Centennial (318 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 Centennial.

Pasadena has a population of about 135,804 and Centennial about 108,658. Pasadena is considerably denser (6,030 people per square mile versus 3,650), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Labor and living costs run lower in Colorado than in California, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Pasadena to Centennial?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $2,120 to $3,160 for a studio, $3,180 to $4,730 for a one-bedroom, $5,300 to $7,890 for a two-bedroom, $8,480 to $12,620 for a three-bedroom and $11,660 to $17,350 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Centennial from Pasadena?

About 971 road miles (823 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 17 h 27 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 California 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.

Is it cheaper to rent a truck or use a container for Pasadena to Centennial?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,450 to $2,040 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,890 to $2,770. 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 Pasadena–Centennial corridor.
