What are the best full-service movers from Atlanta to Chandler?

Movers licensed to operate in Arizona are typically members of the Arizona Moving Association, worth checking for before you book any of the three below.

  1. Safeway Moving (4.9/5 stars): Safeway Moving is the best overall value on this list. Flat-rate pricing, 24/7 customer support, and 30 days of free storage are included with every move.
  2. American Van Lines (4.9/5 stars): American Van Lines is the most experienced mover on this list, 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, combining 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 full-service movers are the more cost-efficient choice. Local movers in Atlanta, GA, often charge 30% - 40% more at that distance because their operations aren't built for long-haul logistics. The exception is if you want a dedicated point-to-point truck with an average 2-day delivery, though that level of service generally increases your total cost.

Moving container costs from Atlanta, GA to Chandler, AZ

Moving containers from Atlanta, Georgia, to Chandler, Arizona, cost between $1,512 and $5,783. 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 Chandler. If you go over that window, storage in Atlanta adds around $100/month.

Take a look at moving container pricing by home size from Atlanta to Chandler:

  • Studio apartment / 1 bedroom: $1,512 - $3,010
  • 2 - 3 bedrooms: $2,161 - $4,090
  • 4+ bedrooms: $2,926 - $5,783

What other costs come with moving containers?

  • Storage: Small containers (7 - 8 feet) run about $85 per month after the initial period, while larger units (12 - 16 feet) cost around $170 per month.
  • Access: Make sure your container company has a storage facility reasonably close to your new home in Chandler, AZ, 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 $791 in Atlanta, GA. 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 Georgia to Arizona 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 $1,512. Underestimating and needing 1 - 2 additional containers can push your total to $2,161 - $4,090, so getting your count right upfront saves you from a costly surprise.

  • 2 - 3 bedrooms: $1,190 - $2,570
  • 4+ bedrooms: $1,607 - $3,113

Pro tip: A rental truck from Atlanta to Chandler looks affordable at first glance, with base rates of $1,110 - $3,113. But once you factor in fuel ($657 - $751) , overnight lodging ($170/night), meals, and equipment rentals, most people end up spending $600 - $1,200 more than the base rate suggests. Building that into your budget upfront saves you from sticker shock at the end of the move.

What other costs come with rental trucks?

  • Additional insurance: Supplemental coverage typically averages around $30 per day.
  • Lodging: Budget around $170 per night if your drive requires an overnight stop. Typically, you'll make 1 - 3 overnight stops, depending on move distance.

  • Gas: Fuel for the 1,828-mile drive falls between $657 and $751, depending on whether your truck runs on gas or diesel.
  • Equipment: Appliance dollies, moving pads, and vehicle trailers are easy to overlook but can add between $57 and $339 to your total.

Freight trailer costs from Atlanta, GA to Chandler, AZ

Freight trailers are a good fit for medium-to-large moves where you need more space than a container but don't want to drive a rental truck from Atlanta, Georgia, to Chandler, Arizona. The trailer is delivered to your address, you load it, and the carrier takes it the rest of the way.

Unlike truck rentals with flat rates, freight trailers scale with your shipment. Every additional section of trailer space you fill increases your total. Most long-distance moves using this method run roughly between $1,696 and $3,238.

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

  • Studio apartment / 1 bedroom: $1,504 - $2,601
  • 2 - 3 bedrooms: $1,696 - $3,238
  • 4+ bedrooms: $2,363 - $4,536

Pro tip: A 4-foot ramp sounds simple, but heavy or awkward furniture can make the climb tricky. With 8 feet of height to work with, smart vertical stacking is key. Since freight companies charge by the linear foot, every extra foot you use adds to the bill.

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 Atlanta, Georgia, for roughly 5 hours typically costs $791.
  • More space: Freight companies bill by linear footage. If your belongings take up more room than anticipated, the extra space adds between $85 and $170 per foot.

What are the best freight companies from Atlanta to Chandler?

  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. Bennett Motor Express, LLC (4.7/5 stars): Bennett Motor Express, LLC 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: Freight trailers move fast, making them one of the quickest ways to get your belongings from Atlanta to Chandler. If you have a hard move-in date and want your stuff there as soon as possible, freight is hard to beat. It's worth noting that freight works best when you're ready to receive your delivery, so if your move-in date is still up in the air or you'll need short-term storage, a moving container is likely the more practical choice.

FAQs: Moving from Atlanta, GA, to Chandler, AZ

How long does a move from Atlanta, GA to Chandler, AZ take?

Full-service movers and container companies typically complete this route in 5 - 7 days, since carriers consolidate shipments heading the same direction. Freight trailers are usually the fastest option outside of driving yourself, with deliveries in 3 - 5 days, though you'll need to be ready to receive your shipment on arrival. Driving a rental truck yourself puts the schedule entirely in your hands.

What are the best neighborhoods in Chandler?

For families, Ocotillo, Fulton Ranch, and Sun Groves are worth a look in Chandler. If you're moving solo or without kids, Downtown Chandler, Chieftain Village, and Dobson Estates tend to be popular picks instead.

What is the cheapest way to move from Atlanta, GA to Chandler, AZ?

Is Chandler a safe place to live?

Chandler has a safety index of 76.61 out of 100 and a crime index of 23.39, compared to 35.77 and 64.23 in Atlanta. Neither figure tells the whole story on its own, so it's worth digging into specific neighborhoods before you commit to an address.

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.
