Great movers. They wrapped everything with pads and plastic wrap, and fit everything into the pod. I had enough pads and wrap and this is probably one of the most important things you can have ready in preparation for your move.

  • Peace of Mind: Trust experienced movers to handle your belongings safely from start to finish. Plus, when you book with HireAHelper, you get our $1,000 service guarantee.

How HireAHelper’s Labor-Only Option Works

HireAHelper’s labor-only service gives you complete control of your move while providing the muscle you need to make moving day a breeze. Moving down the road?

HireAHelper's Moving Guide for Tempe

Tip 1: Look Into Tempe's Community-Specific Rules and Regulations

Many Tempe communities are overseen by HOAs or Neighborhood Associations, so chances are your new home has one too. Follow these steps to make sure your moving day goes smoothly with your neighbors and property manager:

  1. Request a copy of any community rules.
  2. Check for restrictions on moving truck access.
  3. Find out where storage containers can be placed.
  4. Be aware of noise restrictions.
Bonus Tip: Get off on the right foot with your new neighbors! Let them know your moving day plans and that a truck will be parked out front—and make sure it doesn't block their driveway.

Tip 2: Plan Around Tempe’s Festivals and Traffic Changes

Tempe's iconic festivals infuse the city with energy. However, these events often close roads and increase traffic congestion, especially downtown and around Town Lake and Beach Park. Check for street closures that could affect your move day route, or sign up for transportation updates.

Bonus Tip: No one wants to end move day with a hefty fine! Watch your speed as you drive across Tempe. Mill Avenue, First Street, Southern Avenue, and College Avenue have all had their limits reduced recently, and other areas may follow suit.

Tip 3: Dispose of Packing Supplies Responsibly

It’s amazing how many boxes, rolls of tape, and sheets of bubble wrap you go through when moving!

Do your part to protect the environment on collection day:

Bonus Tip: Give unwanted clothing, linens, and soft toys a new home by donating them to Goodwill of Central and Northern Arizona.

Frequently Asked Moving Questions in Tempe

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

The absolute cheapest way to move is by doing everything yourself. But that’s a lot to take on. So if you want some help with your move, labor-only is often the most affordable option. Rent a truck or storage container, and hire movers for just the heavy lifting to save money while still getting professional help.

Tempe offers a variety of storage solutions. RentCafe features over 2,300 units starting at $17, while Extra Space Storage offers affordable options with climate control and vehicle storage. For portable storage, National Rent-A-Fence provides secure, weather-resistant steel containers.

Yes, some movers charge extra if your move involves stairs, as it requires additional time and effort. Be sure to clarify with your movers when booking. Movers on HireAHelper typically include one flight of stairs in their standard pricing.

It’s a good idea to move valuables, important documents, and personal items like medications or sentimental belongings yourself to ensure they’re safe and easily accessible.

Many movers offer furniture disassembly and reassembly services as an add-on, though it’s a good idea to confirm this in advance when booking.
