Reverse: Malibu → Sedona

Moving from Sedona to Malibu is a regional long-distance move of roughly 473 road miles, heading west from Arizona to California.

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 $3,730 to $5,550 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 51 min.

On the Sedona side there are 14 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (4 of them authorized for interstate work), and 7 around Malibu (2 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 Malibu.

Sedona has a population of about 10,000 and Malibu about 10,000. The two cities have comparable density (530 and 537 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. 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 Sedona to Malibu?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,490 to $2,220 for a studio, $2,240 to $3,330 for a one-bedroom, $3,730 to $5,550 for a two-bedroom, $5,970 to $8,880 for a three-bedroom and $8,200 to $12,200 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Malibu from Sedona?

About 473 road miles (401 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 8 h 51 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 Sedona to Malibu?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $790 to $1,110 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,440 to $2,120. 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 Sedona–Malibu corridor.
