The Cost of Moving Services in Tucson, AZ

Moving costs vary widely. Full-service movers handle loading, transport, and unloading — and some tedious tasks in between, such as parallel parking a box truck on a crowded city street.

However, this option comes at a higher cost than labor-only moving, which involves movers who help you load or unload items into a truck or shipping container you rent separately and operate yourself.

Compare the costs of moving service options in Tucson, AZ, below.

The Cost of Labor-Only Movers in Tucson

Did you know? More than 1 out of 3 HireAHelper customers who select our labor-only moving service use the help to load or unload their PODS container.

Labor-only moving costs depend on several factors. Job length is a major one — Tucson labor-only movers charge an average hourly rate of $72.02, and the more belongings you have, the longer it takes to load or unload. Large items like appliances or bulky furniture add to labor time and costs.

Timing also affects pricing, with Sunday being the most affordable day to move and December the cheapest month.

See how these factors impact costs in the table below.

The Cost of a Local Full-Service Move in Tucson

Very pleased from the moment Matt and Nova arrived early that these guys had it together. They continuously offered to move items as the wife was uncertain where she wanted things to go. Always had a great attitude, regardless of the heavy objects. Would absolutely recommend them for your next move.

Two very energetic and personable young men came to my job. They requested a walk through to establish a plan. They were extremely careful when carrying large pieces so as not to collide with doorways or hallways. They responded to a request to set up beds. They were totally focused on satisfying me.

Real Advice from Tucson Movers

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

"If you're planning on renting with U-Haul or renting a storage unit, be sure to have one booked as soon as possible! Many of our customers in Tucson struggle with local truck and storage rental companies being overbooked."

Enhanced Moving and Storage, LLC Profile Image - Enhanced Moving and Storage, LLC

"Traffic picks up getting on/off the I-10 around mid-to-late morning, especially around campus! To keep drive time at a minimum, try to schedule your truck load-up so that your departure to the unload is in the early afternoon if you'll need to take the freeway."

HireAHelper's Moving Guide for Tucson

Tip 1: Time Your Move to Keep Your Cool

Tucson's summers are brutal, with average highs around 100 degrees F and the hottest days reaching 115 degrees F. Moving during cooler months is more comfortable — and generally cheaper.

If you do have to move during the hottest part of the year, build in plenty of time for cooling breaks. Stock a cooler with electrolyte-rich drinks to keep you and your moving help hydrated.

Bonus Tip: If possible, plan your move when monsoon season won't rain heavily on your moving parade.

Tip 2: Plan Ahead for Truck Parking

As a Tucson resident, you might appreciate the city's commercial truck parking rules. But the same rules can work against you when you're moving. You can park a truck in a residential area to load or unload, but you may not be able to leave it overnight. Check with the city to learn where you can park a moving truck and for how long.

Bonus Tip: Support slow-and-steady loading over a few days by getting a shipping container delivered to your driveway to avoid leaving a truck on the street.

Tip 3: Donate Stuff Before You Move It

Don't spend time and money hauling stuff you don't even want to your new home. Sort through belongings and donate items before you choose a moving truck size.

Goodwill Industries of Southern Arizona and The Salvation Army Family Store accept household items, clothing, and furniture. The Habitat for Humanity TucsonReStore takes furniture, building materials, and appliances.

Bonus Tip: Call the Habitat for Humanity donation hotline at (520) 230-5323 to schedule a pickup of furniture or other large items — you're already moving enough stuff yourself.

Frequently Asked Moving Questions in Tucson

$396 is the average cost for a local labor-only move in Tucson. However, the price depends on the size of your home, the number of stairs involved, if you need any specialty moving services, and if you’re using full-service or labor-only moving. With HireAHelper, you can easily compare quotes to find the best one for your budget. Plus, you can use our moving cost calculator to get an accurate estimate.

The cheapest way to move to Tucson without doing it all yourself is a labor-only move, which means hiring movers to help with certain parts of the move, like unloading and/or loading. You can look on HireAHelper’s marketplace to find moving container services. If you want to use movers, you can also book your move in the cheapest month in Tucson, December, on the cheapest day, Sunday, at the cheapest time, 4 PM - 5 PM.

The short answer here is that it depends on your landlord or management company’s preference – check with them well before your move to see their preferred procedure. They will need to plan ahead for the reservation, so give them about four weeks' notice if possible. You should also inform your moving company about the need for an elevator so they can prepare their own equipment.

Yes, movers can help unpack after you move if you’ve hired them for this service. If you want unpacking as part of your moving services, list that upfront so you know how much you’ll need to pay in total.

Yes, moving companies that provide full-service moving must be licensed and insured, while labor-only moving companies don’t have the same requirements. However, many still choose to obtain a license. Each company on HireAHelper will list their credentials and insurance information on their profile.
