Scottsdale, AZ → Yuma, AZ · Regional long-distance move
About 205 road miles heading southwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $2,360–$3,520, delivery in 1–2 days, 431 carriers on the Scottsdale side and 66 in Yuma.
Moving from Scottsdale to Yuma is a regional long-distance move of roughly 205 road miles, heading southwest within Arizona.
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 $2,360 to $3,520 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 4 h 14 min.
On the Scottsdale side there are 431 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (174 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.
Scottsdale has a population of about 243,006 and Yuma about 105,227. Scottsdale is considerably denser (1,312 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.

About 205 road miles (174 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 4 h 14 min.
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.
No. Because both Scottsdale 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.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $360 to $510 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,200 to $1,770. 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.
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 Scottsdale–Yuma corridor.
