Cost to move from Arizona
A 2–3 bedroom move out of Arizona ranges from about $410 (a rental truck to New Mexico, 390 miles) to $21,330 (full-service movers to Maine, 2,760 miles).
Moving cost: $740–$10,070
Moving about 1,010 miles from Arizona to Texas costs roughly $740 – $10,070, depending on how much of the work you hire out.
Distance between the states' population centers by road (estimate).
| Moving method | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Rental truck (DIY) Truck rental, taxes and fees. Add fuel, damage coverage, lodging and your time. | $740 – $3,040 |
| Moving container You pack and load; the company drives the container. | $1,570 – $3,820 |
| Full-service movers Packing, loading, transport and unloading. | $2,540 – $10,070 |
These ranges are based on summer (peak-season) quotes. A move between October and April usually costs less: peak prices run 20–30% higher.
A rental truck also burns about 101 gallons of fuel over this distance. One-way truck rental prices depend on direction: a truck headed where many people are moving often costs more than the same trip in reverse.
Ranges combine 198 published quote ranges on 22 interstate routes (moveBuddha, retrieved 2026-09-24) with 47 independent published prices from U-Pack, HireAHelper and Move.org, which raised the top of several ranges. They are not quotes; get at least three written estimates.
Alaska and Hawaii ranges come from published carrier rates and moving quotes, dated in each row (Matson's household-goods rates, U-Pack, Royal Hawaiian Movers). See how we estimate.
