Reverse: Palm Springs → Yuma

Palm Springs sits about 173 miles northwest of Yuma, which makes this an interstate relocation from Arizona to California that most movers classify as a regional 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 $2,500 to $3,720 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 2 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 3 h 41 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 74 around Palm Springs (33 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 Palm Springs.

Yuma has a population of about 105,227 and Palm Springs about 45,000. Yuma is considerably denser (792 people per square mile versus 471), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. 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 Yuma to Palm Springs?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,400 to $2,080 for a studio, $1,500 to $2,230 for a one-bedroom, $2,500 to $3,720 for a two-bedroom, $4,000 to $5,950 for a three-bedroom and $5,500 to $8,180 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Palm Springs from Yuma?

About 173 road miles (147 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 3 h 41 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 1 to 2 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 Yuma to Palm Springs?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $330 to $460 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,170 to $1,730. 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–Palm Springs corridor.
