  1. Safeway Moving (4.9/5 stars): Safeway Moving is the best overall value on this route. Flat-rate pricing means no surprise charges on moving day, and their support team is consistently rated among the most responsive in the industry.
  2. American Van Lines (4.9/5 stars): American Van Lines is the most experienced mover here, with 30+ years in business since 1995. AVL is one of the few national carriers that uses full-time in-house crews instead of contracted labor.
  3. Allied Van Lines (4.2/5 stars): Allied Van Lines is best for contents coverage, with fragile-only packing, 24/7 shipment monitoring, and an optional full-value protection plan that covers damage, loss, and breakage.

Good to know: For moves over 500 miles, national movers are consistently lower-priced than local companies in Anaheim, CA. Van lines spread long-haul costs across multiple shipments, while local movers tend to charge 30% - 40% more for the same distance. A direct route with a local mover averages 2-day delivery, but that added speed typically carries a higher price tag.

Moving containers from Anaheim, California, to Colorado Springs, Colorado, cost between $1,190 and $4,292. You load everything on your own schedule (U-Haul gives you 3 days and PODS gives you 30). When you're ready, the company takes care of getting the container from point A to point B. Need more time than that? Extra storage in Anaheim typically runs around $110/month.

  • Studio apartment / 1 bedroom: $1,190 - $2,292
  • 2 - 3 bedrooms: $1,549 - $3,125

What other costs come with moving containers?

  • Added contents protection: If you want stronger coverage than the default liability, full-value protection is the upgrade to consider. Most providers charge 1% - 2% of your shipment value, roughly $500 - $1,000 for $50,000 in contents.
  • Storage: After the first month, rental fees average $107 per month for a small 7- to 8-foot container and $215 per month for a larger 12- to 16-foot unit.

Every price below reflects an actual quote from a moveBuddha reader planning a California to Colorado move in the past 90 days. Our pricing data is drawn from 1,500+ monthly data points across our vetted mover network and refreshed every month.

Pro tip: Before ordering moving containers, take a careful inventory of everything you're moving. A typical 1-bedroom home weighs around 3,000 pounds and fits in a single container starting at $1,190. Underestimating and needing 1 - 2 additional containers can push your total to $1,549 - $3,125, so getting your count right upfront saves you from a costly surprise.

Freight trailer costs from Anaheim, CA to Colorado Springs, CO

For larger DIY moves from Anaheim, California, freight trailers give you plenty of room without putting you behind the wheel. Standard trailers are 28 feet long. You load the section you need, and the carrier transports everything to Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Because freight companies bill by linear footage, your total is based on how much of the trailer you occupy, not the full length. For most medium-to-large moves on this route, pricing typically falls between $1,278 and $2,681.

Take a look at freight trailer costs based on home size for moves from Anaheim to Colorado Springs:

  • Studio apartment / 1 bedroom: $1,106 - $2,145
  • 2 - 3 bedrooms: $1,278 - $2,681
  • 4+ bedrooms: $1,830 - $3,400

Pro tip: Freight trailers come with a 4-foot loading ramp, which can be a challenge with bulky furniture. With 8 feet of vertical space available, stacking efficiently often requires a ladder and a plan. Since you're billed per linear foot, packing tight can make a real difference in your final cost.

What other costs come with freight trailers?

  • Moving labor: Freight trailers don't include loading help. In Anaheim, California, hiring 2 movers for about 5 hours typically costs $1,001.
  • More space: You only pay for the trailer footage you use, but underestimating your load can add roughly $107 - $215 per additional foot to your total.
  • Time of year: Rates tend to climb during peak moving season (mid-May through mid-September) when trailer demand is at its highest.

What are the best freight companies from Anaheim to Colorado Springs?

  1. MovingYourself (5/5 stars): MovingYourself is the pick for best for large moves. The company is well-regarded as a top moving container option for its load-it-yourself, we-drive-it model, and that same model makes it a strong freight option for larger homes that benefit from the company's 53-foot trucks and footage-based pricing.
  2. U-Pack (5/5 stars): U-Pack offers the best value freight trailer on this route. Alongside their flagship container service, U-Pack provides a top-notch freight trailer option that follows the same model: no deposits, no upfront fees, and pricing based on the linear footage you actually use.
  3. ALL Service Handling (4.76/5 stars): ALL Service Handling is the best locally owned freight company on this list. Locally owned and based facilities mean accessible support staff and area-specific scheduling flexibility that national-only freight carriers typically don't match.

Pro tip: If speed matters on your move from Anaheim to Colorado Springs, freight trailers are one of the fastest interstate options available, second only to renting a truck and driving it yourself. The tradeoff is that freight works best when you're ready to receive your belongings on the other end. If your timeline is tight on the receiving side or you need a short storage buffer, a moving container might be a better fit.

FAQs: Moving from Anaheim, CA, to Colorado Springs, CO

What size moving truck do I need for this route?

Rental trucks generally range from 10 to 26 feet. A 15- to 17-foot truck covers most 2-bedroom moves, while a smaller 10- to 12-foot truck works for a studio or 1-bedroom. Homes with 3 or more bedrooms usually need a 20- to 26-foot truck, and anything that size typically runs on diesel rather than gas.

What do local movers charge in Anaheim?

Local movers based in Anaheim typically start around $182 as a base rate, plus $75/hour per mover. That's a useful baseline if you're hiring help just to load a rental truck or container rather than booking a full long-distance move. Rates in Colorado Springs run similarly and are worth checking if you need help unloading on the other end.

How do I know a mover is licensed in Colorado?

The Colorado Public Utilities Commission (COPUC) regulates local and intrastate moving service providers in Colorado.

For families, Briargate, Northgate, and Old North End are worth a look in Colorado Springs. If you're moving solo or without kids, Briargate, East Colorado Springs, and Northeast Colorado Springs tend to be popular picks instead.

Colorado Springs has a walkability score of 36 out of 100 and a bike-friendliness score of 45, compared to 56 and 52 in Anaheim. If you're used to getting around on foot or by bike, this is worth factoring into which neighborhood you pick.
