Real Advice from Phoenix Movers

We asked local movers about what you should know about moving in Phoenix. (They’re really nice!)

"Moving in the Phoenix area and surrounding locations is a breeze. The entire city is in a "grid" pattern which makes navigation simple. The "Avenues" are on the West side of the city and the "Streets" are on the East side. All the streets are wide enough to easily accommodate moving trucks and there are multiple truck rental locations all over the valley. July and August are the hottest months here, so if you move during these months please remember to drink lots of water. "

Prometheus Moving Profile Image - Prometheus Moving

"I recommend renting Uhaul trucks because they have the largest supply of trucks readily available. The best highways out here in Maricopa county for driving rental trucks on are highways 51, 17, 202, 10, and the 101."

Green mover Profile Image - Green mover

"Drink lots of water Phoenix is a very hot and dry region. It is very easy to overexert yourself and that could lead to many dangerous situations like heat stroke."

Spaceman Movers LLC Profile Image - Spaceman Movers LLC

"If you're moving to the Valley remember it's hot here during the summer. If you're hot just standing there then the movers are much worse exhausting their energy in this high heat. Do your moves early in the day prior to 12 PM! The back of a moving truck gets to be around 140-165 degrees. Give your movers drinks to cool them down, we are human after all. "

Skyler Moving & Labor LLC Profile Image - Skyler Moving & Labor LLC

"Remember we live in the valley of the sun, so when a move is requested between 12 PM-6 PM, it is extremely hot inside the truck and out. Our movers are required to take a break every hour to give them time to cool off and drink water. Do not load any plants, flammable items, or wine into a moving truck as the heat will destroy them. "

Skyler Moving & Labor LLC Profile Image - Skyler Moving & Labor LLC

"The worst times for traffic are between 7-9a.m. and 3-7p.m. The 101 North is packed in the morning, while the 101 South contains much less traffic. The opposite is true during the afternoon rush hour. Try carpooling in your moving truck to have the ability to use the HOV lane."

Mentors Moving & Storage Profile Image - Mentors Moving & Storage

"If you're moving to the area, it’s best to live by or around a highway like the 17, 10, 51, 101, or 202."

HireAHelper's Moving Guide for Phoenix

Tip 1: Smart Strategies for Moving in Hot Weather

With temperatures regularly soaring above 110°F, moving in Phoenix’s summer heat can be dangerous without the right precautions. Wear lightweight clothing, keep plenty of water on hand, and take short breaks in shaded or air-conditioned areas to prevent heat exhaustion. Let your movers know ahead of time if you'll have cold drinks or snacks available—they’ll appreciate it.

Bonus tip: Electronics, candles, and furniture can warp or melt in extreme temperatures. Keep heat-sensitive items in a climate-controlled space or transport them in an air-conditioned vehicle.

Tip 2: Be Ready for Rain or Dust

With Phoenix weather often changing quickly, preparedness is key to a successful move in the city. Have plastic tarps and other supplies on hand to cover exposed boxes and furniture if rain or dust storms kick up. Proactively cover furniture, mattresses, and clothing whenever possible so you don't have to rush to them during your move.

Bonus tip: Download the Phoenix weather app to monitor outdoor conditions before and during your move.

Tip 3: Avoid the Busiest Roads When Moving

Plan your moving route to avoid I-10, especially between Seventh Street and 16th Street. You might also want to stay off of Bell Road and the Central Avenue Corridor to avoid sitting with your stuff in heavy traffic, too. For live traffic alerts, download the Arizona Department of Transportation app to stay updated before your move.

Bonus tip: Plan to drive your moving truck to your new Phoenix home outside of rush hours. Monday through Friday, you can expect heavy traffic from 6:30 am to 9:00 am and again from 3:30 pm to 6:30 pm, which can delay your move or even end up costing you more in late fees for your moving truck.

Frequently Asked Moving Questions in Phoenix

You've got moving questions — we’ve got answers. Learn what to expect when moving in Phoenix.

The best times to avoid heavy traffic in Phoenix are typically between 10am and 3pm on weekdays, as this falls outside of morning (7–9am) and evening (4–6pm) rush hours. Early mornings (before 7am) and later evenings (after 7pm) are also quieter, though less convenient for moves. For the smoothest experience, plan your move during off-peak hours to avoid congestion on major highways and surface streets.

Moving in downtown Phoenix means navigating narrow and busy streets, along with rush hour traffic. Many downtown buildings, especially apartments or condos, have specific moving rules, such as requiring elevator reservations or limiting moving hours. You should schedule your move during off-peak hours to avoid traffic congestion and check for parking restrictions or fees for moving vehicles.

In the suburbs, there are wider streets and less congestion, and you don’t have to worry as much about rush hour traffic and parking issues.

Thermal blankets and heat-resistant covers help protect fragile items like artwork and electronics. Contact your movers to see if they have these in supply. You can also book movers during cooler times, like early morning and late evening. Best of all, these times tend to have less demand, so they might be a cheaper option.

The average cost of hiring movers in Phoenix, AZ, is $476, but it ultimately depends on the size of the moving crew and services needed. Local moves typically range from $255 for smaller apartments to $2,752 for larger homes. Long-distance moves and extra services, such as packing, can increase costs.

Yes, it’s customary to tip movers. The standard rate is $10-20 per mover, but this can be impacted by the difficulty of the move as well as the quality of the service. Did your move involve many flights of stairs, or heavy items (like a piano!)? Did your movers go above and beyond, or do a super efficient job? You might want to tip extra.

For a very large move, that number might also go up to $50 per mover instead. Or, for full-service moving, you may want to consider a 5% tip of the overall cost.
