Reverse: Glendale → Phoenix

Glendale sits about 9 miles southwest of Phoenix, so this is an in-state move 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 17 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $1,070 and $1,600, before packing or storage.

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 1,051 around Glendale (452 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 Glendale.

Phoenix has a population of about 1.7 million and Glendale about 260,572. The two cities have comparable density (3,105 and 4,031 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends.

Frequently asked questions

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

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $550 to $810 for a studio, $660 to $980 for a one-bedroom, $1,070 to $1,600 for a two-bedroom, $1,700 to $2,530 for a three-bedroom and $2,580 to $3,840 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Glendale from Phoenix?

About 9 road miles (6 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 17 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

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.

Do I need an interstate-licensed mover for an in-state move?

No. Because both Phoenix and Glendale 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.

Is it cheaper to rent a truck or use a container for Phoenix to Glendale?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $160 to $220 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,030 to $1,510. 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–Glendale corridor.
