The Cost of Moving Services in Scottsdale, AZ

The cost of moving in Scottsdale can vary based on the moving services you need. Labor-only moving will have a lower cost, as these movers work hourly and only help with certain parts of your move. This method will require more time and effort on your part, though, since you still have to rent and drive a truck, or arrange a storage container. Full-service moving is more expensive since they’re taking care of the majority of your move. But when you let the pros handle everything from loading to driving to unloading, the convenience and peace of mind are worth it. Check out our pricing comparison table to get an idea:

The Cost of Labor-Only Movers in Scottsdale

Did you know? Labeling your moving boxes by what’s inside or what room they came from can make the moving process go much faster and more efficiently.

If you’re looking for labor-only moving, expect to pay around $77.05 for your move. Moving during peak times in Scottsdale can increase that hourly rate, so consider planning your move on a Sunday during July to save on cost. For the best estimate of cost, see below.

These gentlemen did a very good job, however, they did not bring their own tools, which slowed things down and ended up costing me extra time. Also, they left the back gate to my home open, and I lost my dog for over 5 hours. Luckily, someone found her and checked her microchip or I never would have gotten her back.

Real Advice from Scottsdale Movers

We asked local movers about what you should know about moving in Scottsdale. (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. "

"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."

Tips for Moving in Scottsdale

Tip 1: Prepare for the Desert Climate & Creatures

Scottsdale’s desert climate can be harsh, with an average temperature above 97 degrees Fahrenheit for a good chunk of the year. Be prepared for heat and ensure you stay hydrated. If you can, plan to do most of the loading/unloading in the very early morning or late evening to avoid the worst of the desert sun.

You’ll also want to keep an eye out for desert wildlife in Scottsdale. Scorpions like to hide in dark places (like the inside of a shoe) and pack a painful sting. They are most active during the warm months of June through September. Check your home thoroughly to see if any are scuttling around the garage, shelves, or places you haven’t disturbed in a while. You don’t want to start packing or unpacking only to get stung!

Tip 2: Be Aware of Monsoon Season

Scottsdale is known for its dry weather, but the area does have a monsoon season that you’ll need to be ready for – it lasts from June to September. Expect heavy rains, thunder, and lightning, so be prepared with tarps to cover your furniture and other items if a downpour starts up. While these storms are usually short, they can cause flash flooding at times.

The Phoenix area can also experience haboobs, also known as dust storms. If you see a dust cloud forming, try to stay inside to avoid breathing in that dust. You should also have a contingency plan just in case rushing water or dust makes it too dangerous to be outside and your move needs to happen another day.

Tip 3: Switch Utilities, Internet & Address Early

Once you know your new address and move-in date, contact your electric, gas, water, and internet providers. It may take a bit to get things switched over, and ideally, you want everything set up and ready to go as soon as you move in. Some utility companies may be able to switch services remotely, but others (like the internet) might need to send a technician to set everything up for you. Getting an appointment can take a few days, so prepare ahead of time.

Frequently Asked Moving Questions in Scottsdale

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

The cost of moving in Scottsdale is affected by various factors, like the time of year you’re moving, how far your move is, and the services you choose. For instance, a full-service move will cost more than labor-only, and moving a 1-bedroom apartment will be cheaper than moving a 4-bedroom home. You can use HireAHelper’s quote estimator to get a better idea of what your particular move might cost, and what’s affecting the price the most.

The average cost of a moving truck rental depends on a few things: the size of your home, the distance of your move, and how long you’ll need it. For example, a 4-bedroom home would need a larger truck that may take a couple of days to load and unload. Compare prices and comapnies to find one that’s right for your budget.

It’s recommended to try and book movers at least six to eight weeks in advance. That way, you aren’t scrambling last minute to try and find moving companies who are available on the day you need them. Booking in advance gives you peace of mind, especially if you’re trying to move during a busier time of year.

The cheapest day to hire movers can vary, as it depends on seasonal demand, weather, and more. To easily compare quotes and find an option that’s affordable for your budget, look for movers on HireAHelper. You can also change the dates of your move to see if there’s a cheaper option.

Packing and unpacking are separate services from full-service and labor-only moving. Some moving companies do offer these options, but they often cost an extra fee.
