Reverse: Garden City → Yuma

Moving from Yuma to Garden City is a long-distance move of roughly 1,012 road miles, heading northeast from Arizona to Kansas.

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 $4,540 to $6,750 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 3 to 7 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 18 h 9 min.

On the Yuma side there are 66 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (57 of them authorized for interstate work), and 19 around Garden City (13 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 Garden City.

Yuma has a population of about 105,227 and Garden City about 28,000. Garden City is the denser city (2,557 people per square mile versus 792 in Yuma), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Labor and living costs run lower in Kansas than in Arizona, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Yuma to Garden City?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,810 to $2,700 for a studio, $2,720 to $4,050 for a one-bedroom, $4,540 to $6,750 for a two-bedroom, $7,260 to $10,800 for a three-bedroom and $9,980 to $14,850 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Garden City from Yuma?

About 1,012 road miles (857 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 18 h 9 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 3 to 7 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 Kansas 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 Yuma to Garden City?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,490 to $2,100 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,920 to $2,830. 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 Yuma–Garden City corridor.
