Reverse: Durango → Tempe

Moving from Tempe to Durango is a regional long-distance move of roughly 415 road miles, heading northeast from Arizona to Colorado.

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 $3,230 to $4,810 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 7 h 51 min.

On the Tempe side there are 886 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (350 of them authorized for interstate work), and 21 around Durango (10 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 Durango.

Tempe has a population of about 190,571 and Durango about 20,000. Tempe is considerably denser (4,526 people per square mile versus 1,293), 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 Tempe to Durango?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,290 to $1,920 for a studio, $1,940 to $2,880 for a one-bedroom, $3,230 to $4,810 for a two-bedroom, $5,170 to $7,690 for a three-bedroom and $7,110 to $10,570 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Durango from Tempe?

About 415 road miles (352 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 7 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 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.

Is it cheaper to rent a truck or use a container for Tempe to Durango?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $580 to $810 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,390 to $2,040. 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 Tempe–Durango corridor.
