Reverse: Burbank → Phoenix

Burbank sits about 425 miles west of Phoenix, which makes this an interstate relocation from Arizona to California that most movers classify as a regional 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 $3,530 to $5,250 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 8 h 2 min.

On the Phoenix side there are 1,433 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (623 of them authorized for interstate work), and 896 around Burbank (350 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 Burbank.

Phoenix has a population of about 1.7 million and Burbank about 102,988. Burbank is the denser city (6,204 people per square mile versus 3,105 in Phoenix), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. California is a higher-cost state than Arizona, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Phoenix to Burbank?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,410 to $2,100 for a studio, $2,120 to $3,150 for a one-bedroom, $3,530 to $5,250 for a two-bedroom, $5,650 to $8,410 for a three-bedroom and $7,770 to $11,560 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Burbank from Phoenix?

About 425 road miles (360 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 8 h 2 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 Arizona into California 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 Phoenix to Burbank?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $590 to $830 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,400 to $2,060. 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 Phoenix–Burbank corridor.
