Peoria, AZ → Mesa, AZ · Short-haul move
About 51 road miles heading southeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $1,280–$1,900, delivery in 1–2 days, 392 carriers on the Peoria side and 834 in Mesa.
The route from Peoria, AZ to Mesa, AZ covers roughly 51 miles by road, a southeast-bound trip that falls into the short-haul move category for pricing purposes.
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 1 h 35 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $1,280 and $1,900, before packing or storage.
On the Peoria side there are 392 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (187 of them authorized for interstate work), and 834 around Mesa (331 interstate). For an in-state 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 Mesa.
Peoria has a population of about 200,881 and Mesa about 513,656. Mesa is the denser city (3,636 people per square mile versus 1,085 in Peoria), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.

Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.
About 51 road miles (43 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 1 h 35 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.
No. Because both Peoria and Mesa are in Arizona, this is an intrastate move regulated by the state rather than the FMCSA. Still, choosing a carrier with an active USDOT number is the easiest way to confirm the company is a registered motor carrier with insurance on file.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $200 to $290 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,070 to $1,570. 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 Peoria–Mesa corridor.
