How far in advance do I need to book movers in Tempe?

On average, people reserve Tempe moving services 18 days before they want to relocate, but we recommend you book your Tempe movers at least 4 to 8 weeks in advance for the best chance of securing your preferred moving dates. Availability can be limited during typical busy periods, such as the peak moving season and usual college move-in and move-out times. Our moving checklist gives you a handy timeline to help you organize your move.

Are there movers in Tempe who specialize in student moves for Arizona State University?

Some Tempe moving companies may list student moves at Arizona State University as a specialty in their MovingPlace company profiles. Students at ASU and other colleges can use our Smart Match tool to find experienced Tempe movers that fit their budgets and needs. You can also check customer reviews to see if they mention that a company has moved students in and out of dorms, apartments, or campus housing, or has a similar small-move experience.

What are the best storage options near Tempe for temporary needs?

Tempe has several secure, flexible storage options if your new home isn't ready or you're moving out of dorms for summer break. Tempe Self Storage offers units of all sizes that can fit everything from studio apartments to large houses. Sun Devil State Storage's drive-up units make loading and unloading easy, while Arizona Storage Inns, near Arizona State University, provides gated access and climate-controlled units to keep your belongings safe from the heat.

What's included in a full-service move?

Full-service moves include the truck, crew, and equipment needed to make your relocation as seamless as possible. Professional, licensed, and insured movers will pull up to your home and carefully load your furniture and boxes onto their moving truck. After safely transporting your belongings, the team places them exactly where you'd like them in your new location. Every move booked through our platform includes a $1,000 move protection guarantee, so you can be confident in the service you'll receive.

Is packing included in a local full-service move?

No, packing isn't part of a standard full-service move, but it may be available for an extra fee. If your moving company provides packing services, you can select it as an add-on service and customize it to your needs during the booking process. You may want movers to box up your entire house or certain rooms that are more time-consuming, such as the kitchen, dining room, and playroom. You'll usually be asked to provide moving supplies such as boxes, packing paper, bubble wrap, and packing tape.

"Most cost estimates are based on limited data that doesn't account for timing, location, or move size. Ours are built on years of real moves — so what you see here is actually based on what people in Tempe pay."

How we calculate these numbers

1

Start with local data We pull from 1M+ completed moves on our platform. If Tempe has enough data (at least 10 moves of a given size), that local data is our baseline.

2

Fill gaps with regional context Where local data is thin, we expand to county, then state, then cities with comparable household income levels—so estimates stay market-relevant.

3

Normalize for consistency We apply weighted calculations across categories to prevent a single outlier from skewing what a typical move should cost.

Read the full methodology →

Keep in mind: many factors can affect the actual cost of your move—like the time of year, current demand, number of stairs, heavy items, and more. The best way to get accurate pricing for your specific move is to use our simple, 3-step quote tool. You can compare pricing from multiple providers, customize your move, and ultimately book the mover that best fits your needs.

How to Save on Moving in Tempe

In Tempe, AZ, the average cost of labor-only move help is only $400.01, compared to $1,060.16 for a local full-service move, so hiring labor-only movers could save you hundreds of dollars on your move, if you're willing to rent a truck or moving container.

Additionally, MovingPlace's algorithm matches you with the mover that offers the best value for your needs, and our Best Price Guarantee means that you can book with the confidence that you are getting the best deal.

— Kevin B.

Movers | Regan Legacy Movers

I can’t say enough good things about the crew that came to help. My house is like a construction site, dusty, messy, has no power and no AC. These guys propped up a 200+ pound metal garage door and hauled all of the things out of the house on 100° day. And they were cheerful and polite the whole time. They are a hard-working and well organized team, and I recommend them highly. I would use them again if I were local.
