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

Extra Space Storage, Public Storage, SmartStop Self Storage, and CubeSmart Self Storage offer storage solutions for temporary needs. These companies operate several storage units throughout Aurora, so it’s easy to choose an option near your new home. Common features include drive-up units, climate-controlled storage, and a variety of unit sizes, as well as monthly specials and month-to-month leases.

Which highways or roads should I avoid when driving a moving truck in Aurora during peak hours?

If you must drive a moving truck during peak hours, do your best to avoid I-225, East Colfax Avenue, South Parker Road, and East Alameda Avenue. These streets see heavy traffic and congestion, especially during morning and evening commute times—typically from 7-9 am and 4-6 pm. For less stress on moving day, book a full-service move and let the professionals worry about navigating high-traffic areas.

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

You should book at least 15 days in advance when moving in Aurora. However, it’s always best to book as far ahead of time as possible to ensure you have access to movers and the best prices. This is especially true if you’re moving at a peak time, such as in July, the city’s busiest month.

What do I need to do before moving day?

Before moving day, confirm the date, time, and any special requirements with your moving company. Pack strategically by carefully labeling boxes with their contents and destination rooms, and keep essentials separate for easy access. Empty and thoroughly clean your refrigerator and freezer, and defrost both at least 24 hours before moving. If necessary, disassemble large pieces of furniture, keeping track of their hardware in labeled, sealable bags.

Is packing included in a local full-service move?

No, packing isn’t included in a local full-service move. However, many moving companies in the MovingPlace network offer the option of adding this service to your move package. While there’s an upcharge for packing, it can help you save significant time and stress while ensuring your belongings are properly protected.

"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 Aurora pay."

How we calculate these numbers

1

Start with local data We pull from 1M+ completed moves on our platform. If Aurora 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 Aurora

In Aurora, CO, the average cost of labor-only move help is only $473.96, compared to $1,122.49 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.

The movers from LeDoux were some of the nicest, hardest working people I’ve ever met. It was my first time doing a cross-country move by myself so I was nervous, but they made everything very easy. They unloaded two shipping containers up two flights of stairs on a very hot day in about an hour. I really appreciated their service and couldn’t recommend them enough.

— Amanda C.

— Hassina T.

Movers | AIRUS MOVERS LLC

Trena and Matthew were awesome. We had them booked for four hours, hoping to empty two of the largest pods that were FULL, and they delivered! They were on time, prepared, and very respectful. I showed them the house, and then they immediately began unloading and staging items for different rooms, moving things efficiently and with great care. Everything ended up in the right room and was stacked and organized nicely. It was easy to set up furniture and unpack in all of the rooms thanks to their care. These two were great together, managing even a few very heavy items and tight corners. They had the right equipment and clearly have experience. Entertainment center, antiques, dishes, framed art, and everything else was all successfully moved. They worked hard for the full four hours, with minimal breaks. They're friendly and personable, great communicators about possible damage from transport (not even remotely their fault, and they definitely paid attention to details), and they got the job done. I would definitely use this pair again.
