Delivering in Yuma
Which Yuma neighborhoods do you deliver to?
All of Yuma and the towns around it: downtown near the river, the Foothills along I-8, Somerton and San Luis to the south, and Wellton to the east. RV parks and 55-plus communities set their own move-in rules, so send them to us when you book.

After you arrive
What should I do after moving to Yuma?
Register your car with ADOT MVD as soon as you become an Arizona resident; Yuma is outside the Phoenix and Tucson emissions-test areas. Set up power before the truck arrives, because summer heat in Yuma makes air conditioning a must on move-in day.
Yuma arrival checklist
Weather
How hot is a summer move to Yuma?
Very. Yuma summers are among the hottest in Arizona, so from May through September we load early in San Diego and unload in Yuma in the morning. Monsoon season runs June 15 to September 30, when dust storms can cut visibility on I-8 for a while.
Winter visitors
Moving to Yuma for the winter, or for part of the year?
Many Yuma moves are seasonal. If you split the year between San Diego and Yuma, a portable container or a storage unit in San Diego can hold what you don’t need in each place, and a dedicated truck moves the rest.
Container at your property
$99 a month for a standard container or $175 for a large one, at your San Diego property.

Storage at our facility, delivery and pickup are quoted separately, in writing.

What protects my things on the way to Yuma?
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.
Read the Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move booklet before you sign.
Dates don’t line up?
What if my Yuma home isn’t ready?
We can hold your things in San Diego between loading and your Yuma key date; short-term storage during the move is included, and how long it lasts is in your written quote.
