Long-distance moving costs depend primarily on distance and the weight/volume of your belongings. A typical 2-3 bedroom home move from Colorado Springs ranges from $3,000-$7,000+ depending on the destination. For example, moves to Phoenix (600 miles) typically run $3,500-$6,500, while Dallas (650 miles) ranges $3,800-$7,000. We provide free, detailed quotes based on your specific inventory and needs—no generic estimates.

Delivery timelines depend on distance and logistics. For destinations like Phoenix or Salt Lake City (500-600 miles), expect 2-4 days from pickup to delivery. For farther destinations like Dallas or beyond, 3-5 days is typical. We provide a specific delivery window with every move and keep you updated throughout transit. Unlike some carriers, we don't consolidate shipments or make multiple stops—your belongings go directly to your new home.

Yes, and we strongly recommend professional packing for long-distance moves. Items traveling hundreds of miles experience more vibration and handling than local moves. Our packers use reinforced materials designed for interstate transport: double-wall boxes, custom crating for fragile items, furniture pads secured with moving straps, and specialty wrapping for electronics and artwork. You can choose full-service packing (we pack everything) or partial packing (we handle fragile and specialty items while you pack the rest).

Yes. iHaul iMove is a fully licensed interstate carrier with a U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) number. We meet all federal requirements for cross-state moving, including proper licensing, insurance coverage, and compliance with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations. This protects you legally and financially—working with unlicensed movers for interstate moves can leave you without recourse if something goes wrong.

All interstate moves include basic liability coverage (Released Value Protection) at no additional cost, which covers items at $0.60 per pound per article. For comprehensive protection, we offer Full Value Protection, which covers repair, replacement, or cash settlement at current market value for any item that's lost, damaged, or destroyed. We'll review all options during your estimate and recommend coverage based on the value of your belongings.

Yes. We offer storage-in-transit for situations where your move-out and move-in dates don't align perfectly. Your belongings are stored securely in our climate-controlled warehouse for as long as needed. When you're ready for delivery, we transport everything to your new home. This is especially helpful for job relocations where you're still looking for housing, or when selling and buying homes don't close on the same timeline.

Absolutely. We specialize in moving high-value and delicate items including pianos, antiques, fine art, grandfather clocks, pool tables, and large entertainment systems. These items receive custom crating, climate-controlled transport, and white-glove handling. Let us know about any specialty items during your estimate so we can plan accordingly and provide accurate pricing.

Peak moving season runs May through September, when demand (and prices) are highest. For better rates and more scheduling flexibility, consider moving during fall (September-November) or winter (December-February). Winter moves from Colorado Springs also mean cooler desert temperatures if you're heading to Phoenix or Tucson. We move year-round and our climate-controlled trucks handle both mountain snow and desert heat safely.

Start 4-6 weeks before your move date. Begin by decluttering—the less you move, the lower your costs. Gather important documents (medical records, school transcripts, etc.) to keep with you, not on the truck. If you're packing yourself, use quality boxes and packing materials. Plan for your first few days at the destination: essentials box, hotel reservations if needed, and arrangements for pets. Your move coordinator will provide a detailed checklist and answer any questions as your move date approaches.

Federal regulations prohibit moving hazardous materials, including propane tanks, gasoline, aerosol cans, ammunition, fireworks, and certain cleaning chemicals. We also can't transport perishable foods, plants (which often can't cross state lines due to agricultural regulations), or pets. We'll provide a complete list of non-allowable items during your estimate so you can make arrangements ahead of time.
