St. Paul, MN → Aurora, CO · Long-distance move
About 819 road miles heading southwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $4,400–$6,550, delivery in 2–5 days, 1,099 carriers on the St. Paul side and 1,183 in Aurora.
Aurora sits about 819 miles southwest of St. Paul, which makes this an interstate relocation from Minnesota to Colorado that most movers classify as a 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 $4,400 to $6,550 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 2 to 5 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 14 h 49 min.
On the St. Paul side there are 1,099 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (499 of them authorized for interstate work), and 1,183 around Aurora (464 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 Aurora.
St. Paul has a population of about 306,684 and Aurora about 410,053. St. Paul is considerably denser (5,991 people per square mile versus 2,413), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination.

About 819 road miles (694 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 14 h 49 min.
Expect a delivery window of 2 to 5 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.
Yes. Crossing from Minnesota into Colorado 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.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,140 to $1,610 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,750 to $2,570. 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 St. Paul–Aurora corridor.
