Distance and delivery
How long does a move from San Diego to Phoenix take?
Delivery to Phoenix takes 1–2 days on a dedicated truck. The drive is roughly 5 hours 52 minutes by car without traffic, and the truck goes straight from your door to your new door, with no warehouse stop and no transfer to another truck.
Your truck leaves San Diego loaded with your household only. It does not stop at a warehouse or wait for other customers’ things, which is why the Valley is 1–2 days rather than a delivery window of weeks.
The route
Your options
Is a dedicated truck or a shared load better to Phoenix?
For Phoenix, a dedicated truck. A shared load costs $11 per cubic foot with a 400 cubic foot minimum, so even the smallest shared load is $4,400, more than $4,200 for a dedicated truck, and delivery can take up to 21 days.
| Option | Price | Delivery |
|---|---|---|
| Dedicated truck (One Stop) | $4,200 | 1–2 days |
| Shared load (One Stop) | $11 per cu ft, 400 cu ft minimum ($4,400) | Up to 21 days |
| Portable container (One Stop) | $99 or $175 a month; shipping to Arizona quoted in writing | Quoted with the shipping |
| Rental truck | Rental, fuel and your own time | You drive it |

After you arrive
What do I need to do after moving to Phoenix?
Register your car with ADOT MVD as soon as you become an Arizona resident; many Phoenix-area vehicles need an emissions test first. Get your Arizona driver license at the same visit, and set up power with APS or SRP, depending on your address, before the truck arrives.
Phoenix arrival checklist
Weather
Is it safe to move to Phoenix in summer?
Yes, with planning. From May through September, book about 3 weeks ahead, ask for an early start and keep heat-sensitive things in your car. Monsoon season runs June 15 to September 30, when dust storms and flash floods can close Valley roads for a few hours, so leave slack between closing and move-in.
Moving the other way
Do you move people from Phoenix to San Diego?
Yes. We also move households from Phoenix and the rest of the Valley to San Diego, on a dedicated truck with our own crews at both ends. Moves into San Diego are quoted in writing for your two addresses; call (858) 633-8600 or send your inventory online.
Short-term storage during your move is included if your San Diego keys come later, and our San Diego area pages cover the neighborhood you’re moving to.
Your rights
What protects my things on the way to Phoenix?
Crossing into Arizona makes this an interstate move under the federal FMCSA. Full Value Protection is the default unless you waive it in writing; the waiver option, released value, pays only 60 cents per pound per article. Our USDOT 1956864 and MC 694565 are on FMCSA SAFER.

Dates don’t line up?
What if my Phoenix home isn’t ready?
We can hold your things in San Diego between loading and your Phoenix key date; short-term storage during the move is included, and how long it lasts is in your written quote.
