Moving to & from Colorado

What a move costs in Colorado

Colorado's modeled average cost for a 2-bedroom move is $879, computed from Bureau of Labor Statistics OES 2023 wage data (SOC 53-7062) with regional wage adjustments. PlainMove does not publish carrier records. Confirm any carrier you hire directly at safer.fmcsa.dot.gov: active operating authority, cargo and liability insurance, and a published USDOT number on every estimate.

Geography shapes both cost and availability. The top origin market tracked in our data for Colorado is Denver, which generates a disproportionate share of outbound moving demand with Denver appearing among the leading inbound destinations. Before booking any interstate move to or from Colorado, consumers should (1) confirm each mover’s DOT number at safer.fmcsa.dot.gov, (2) check that HHG authority is active rather than out-of-service, (3) request written proof of current cargo and liability insurance, and (4) review the mover’s complaint history and last safety rating date. The statewide average of $879 is a planning anchor, not a quote, because actual pricing depends on the specific route, season, access conditions, and binding-estimate structure negotiated with the carrier.
