Reverse: Aberdeen → Westminster

The route from Westminster, CO to Aberdeen, SD covers roughly 603 miles by road, a northeast-bound trip that falls into the long-distance move category for pricing purposes.

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 $3,690 to $5,490 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 11 h 6 min.

On the Westminster side there are 638 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (215 of them authorized for interstate work), and 9 around Aberdeen (9 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 Aberdeen.

Westminster has a population of about 116,182 and Aberdeen about 28,000. Westminster is considerably denser (3,681 people per square mile versus 1,725), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Labor and living costs run lower in South Dakota than in Colorado, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home. South Dakota levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Westminster to Aberdeen?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,480 to $2,200 for a studio, $2,220 to $3,300 for a one-bedroom, $3,690 to $5,490 for a two-bedroom, $5,910 to $8,790 for a three-bedroom and $8,120 to $12,090 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Aberdeen from Westminster?

About 603 road miles (511 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 11 h 6 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

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.

Does my mover need interstate authority for this move?

Yes. Crossing from Colorado into South Dakota 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 Westminster to Aberdeen?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $920 to $1,300 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,560 to $2,290. 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 Westminster–Aberdeen corridor.
