Local Moving Tips

Expert advice for your 62-mile move from Colorado Springs to Aurora.

Consider a DIY move

At under 100 miles, renting a truck for your Colorado Springs to Aurora move can save you 50–70% compared to full-service movers.

Move mid-week

Tuesday through Thursday moves are typically 15–25% cheaper than weekend moves, with better availability.

Declutter before you pack

Sell or donate items you no longer need. Less stuff means fewer boxes, a smaller truck, and a lower bill.

Get at least 3 quotes

Local moving company rates can vary dramatically. Always compare at least three in-home or video estimates.

Reserve your elevator

If you live in an apartment building, book the service elevator in advance to avoid delays and extra hourly charges.

Finding Local Movers

For local moves under 100 miles, we recommend searching for movers in the Colorado Springs area. Local companies often provide better rates and more personalized service than national carriers for short-distance moves. Always get at least 3 in-home estimates and verify licensing through the FMCSA.
