What are the best full-service movers from Mesa to Yonkers?

All three below meet the standards set by the New York State Movers & Warehousemen’s Association, the group most New York movers are affiliated with.

  1. Safeway Moving (4.9/5 stars): Safeway Moving is the best overall value on this list, with flat-rate pricing that holds firm on moving day and a customer support team available around the clock.
  2. American Van Lines (4.9/5 stars): American Van Lines is the most experienced mover here. With 30+ years of interstate moves behind them, AVL uses full-time in-house crews instead of the contracted labor most national carriers rely on.
  3. Allied Van Lines (4.2/5 stars): Allied Van Lines is best for contents coverage, with fragile-only packing, 24/7 shipment tracking, and an optional full-value protection plan available on every long-distance move.

Good to know: For moves over 500 miles, national carriers are typically lower-priced than local moving companies in Mesa, AZ. At that distance, local movers often charge 30% - 40% more because they don't spread long-haul costs across multiple shipments the way national carriers do. If a direct route and faster delivery (averaging 2 days) are priorities, a local mover may be worth considering, but that service comes at a higher price.

Moving container costs from Mesa, AZ to Yonkers, NY

Moving containers from Mesa, Arizona, to Yonkers, New York, cost between $1,944 and $6,555. A container is delivered to your home and you load it on your own time. Loading windows vary by company: U-Haul gives you 3 days and PODS gives you 30. From there, the company takes over and transports it to Yonkers. If you go over that window, storage in Mesa adds around $90/month.

Take a look at moving container pricing by home size from Mesa to Yonkers:

  • Studio apartment / 1 bedroom: $1,944 - $3,438
  • 2 - 3 bedrooms: $2,351 - $4,829
  • 4+ bedrooms: $3,299 - $6,555

What other costs come with moving containers?

  • Storage: Small containers (7 - 8 feet) run about $98 per month after the initial period, while larger units (12 - 16 feet) cost around $196 per month.
  • Access: Make sure your container company has a storage facility reasonably close to your new home in Yonkers, NY, if you need to retrieve anything while items are still in storage.
  • Moving labor: Since you're responsible for loading the container yourself, many customers bring in hourly help. Based on moveBuddha data, hiring 2 movers for approximately 5 hours costs about $914 in Mesa, AZ. Compare the best labor-only movers nationwide
  • Added contents protection: Full-value protection goes beyond the standard minimum and covers repair, replacement, or reimbursement at declared value. Pricing is typically 1% - 2% of your total shipment value, about $500 - $1,000 on a $50,000 move.

Every price below reflects an actual quote from a moveBuddha reader planning a Arizona to New York 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 $1,944. Underestimating and needing 1 - 2 additional containers can push your total to $2,351 - $4,829, so getting your count right upfront saves you from a costly surprise.

Freight trailer costs from Mesa, AZ to Yonkers, NY

If you're moving a larger household from Mesa, Arizona, and want to stay in control of the loading process, freight trailers offer a practical middle ground between hiring movers and renting a truck yourself. A 28-foot trailer is delivered to your door, you load what you need, and the carrier handles the drive to Yonkers, New York.

Freight trailers are priced by the linear feet your belongings take up, so you only pay for the space you use. Most moves on this route fall between $1,996 and $3,863.

Take a look at freight trailer costs based on home size for moves from Mesa to Yonkers:

  • Studio apartment / 1 bedroom: $1,666 - $3,222
  • 2 - 3 bedrooms: $1,996 - $3,863
  • 4+ bedrooms: $2,666 - $5,136

Pro tip: Loading a freight trailer is a bit different from filling a container. The 4-foot ramp can be steep with large items, and getting the most out of 8 feet of vertical clearance takes planning. Since pricing is based on linear feet used, every inch of wasted space has a cost.

What other costs come with freight trailers?

  • Seasonal demand: Pricing tends to rise during peak moving season, particularly between mid-May and mid-September.
  • Moving labor: Most customers hire loading help since freight is self-loaded. Two movers in Mesa, Arizona, for roughly 5 hours typically costs $914.
  • More space: Freight companies bill by linear footage. If your belongings take up more room than anticipated, the extra space adds between $98 and $196 per foot.

What are the best freight companies from Mesa to Yonkers?

  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. Empire Transport (4.84/5 stars): Empire Transport 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 Mesa to Yonkers, 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 Mesa, AZ, to Yonkers, NY

What extra costs come with a truck rental on this route?

The base rate only covers the vehicle. Expect to add fuel ($1,003 - $1,146), daily insurance ($39/day), and equipment rentals ($9 - $26) on top. Overnight stops can add another $196/night for lodging if your drive spans more than a day.

How do I know a mover is licensed in New York?

New York requires moving companies to have a license and obtain a New York Department of Transportation (NYDOT) number. A NYDOT license ensures your mover is in compliance with the state's safety, insurance, and operational regulations.

What is the best time of year to move from Mesa, AZ to Yonkers, NY?

Aim for a move between October and March, when demand drops and rates tend to be lower across all service types. Peak season runs mid-May through mid-September, and weekends and month-end dates are pricier regardless of season. New York also has a hurricane season running June through November, worth factoring into your timing if you have flexibility. A midweek, mid-month date outside peak season is your best bet for saving money.

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.

Is Yonkers a safe place to live?

Yonkers has a safety index of 71.66 out of 100 and a crime index of 28.34, compared to 55.33 and 44.67 in Mesa. Neither figure tells the whole story on its own, so it's worth digging into specific neighborhoods before you commit to an address.

What percentage of Mesa movers handle specialty items like pianos or antiques?

About 77% of movers in Mesa handle piano moves, and 55% handle antiques and fine art, compared to 71% and 46% nationally.
