Reverse: Yuma → Phoenix

Yuma sits about 187 miles southwest of Phoenix, so this is an in-state move 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 $2,300 to $3,420 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 2 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 3 h 55 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 66 around Yuma (57 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 Yuma.

Phoenix has a population of about 1.7 million and Yuma about 105,227. Phoenix is considerably denser (3,105 people per square mile versus 792), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination.

Frequently asked questions

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

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,250 to $1,870 for a studio, $1,380 to $2,050 for a one-bedroom, $2,300 to $3,420 for a two-bedroom, $3,680 to $5,470 for a three-bedroom and $5,060 to $7,520 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Yuma from Phoenix?

About 187 road miles (159 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 3 h 55 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 1 to 2 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.

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

No. Because both Phoenix and Yuma 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 Yuma?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $340 to $480 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,190 to $1,750. 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–Yuma corridor.
