  1. Safeway Moving (4.9/5 stars): Safeway Moving is our pick for best overall value. Flat-rate pricing, 24/7 support, and 30 days of free storage make Safeway the clearest value on this list.
  2. American Van Lines (4.9/5 stars): American Van Lines is the most experienced mover on this list. AVL has been moving customers since 1995 and uses full-time in-house crews trained on high-value items like art and antiques.

Good to know: For moves over 500 miles, national carriers are typically lower-priced than local moving companies in Nashville, TN. 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 Nashville, TN to Colorado Springs, CO

Moving containers from Nashville, Tennessee, to Colorado Springs, Colorado, cost between $1,212 and $4,518. 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 Nashville typically runs around $100/month.

Take a look at moving container pricing by home size from Nashville to Colorado Springs:

  • Studio apartment / 1 bedroom: $1,212 - $2,455
  • 2 - 3 bedrooms: $1,610 - $3,321
  • 4+ bedrooms: $2,333 - $4,518

What other costs come with moving containers?

  • Storage: Small containers (7 - 8 feet) run about $80 per month after the initial period, while larger units (12 - 16 feet) cost around $161 per month.
  • Access: Make sure your container company has a storage facility reasonably close to your new home in Colorado Springs, CO, 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 $749 in Nashville, TN. 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 Tennessee 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 $1,212. Underestimating and needing 1 - 2 additional containers can push your total to $1,610 - $3,321, so getting your count right upfront saves you from a costly surprise.

Freight trailer costs from Nashville, TN to Colorado Springs, CO

If you're moving a larger household from Nashville, Tennessee, 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 Colorado Springs, Colorado.

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 $1,315 and $2,683.

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

  • Studio apartment / 1 bedroom: $1,171 - $2,125
  • 2 - 3 bedrooms: $1,315 - $2,683
  • 4+ bedrooms: $1,795 - $3,476

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?

  • More space: Freight trailers are billed by the section you fill. If you misjudge your shipment size, each extra foot of trailer space adds around $80 - $161 to your final bill.
  • Peak season pricing: Expect higher rates during peak season (mid-May to mid-September) when trailer availability tightens across the country.
  • Moving labor: Loading is on you unless you hire outside help. A half-day crew of two movers in Nashville, Tennessee, typically costs $749.

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

  1. MovingYourself (5/5 stars): MovingYourself is best for large moves. Best known as a top moving container option thanks to its DIY hybrid model (you load, they drive), MovingYourself also doubles as a strong freight choice with their 53-foot trucks and pay-for-the-space-you-use pricing.
  2. U-Pack (5/5 stars): U-Pack is the best value freight trailer on this list. In addition to their well-known container service, U-Pack offers freight trailers that follow the same pay-by-the-foot model with no deposits or upfront fees, making them one of the most flexible freight options for budget-conscious moves.
  3. OLD South Freight Service, Inc. (4.62/5 stars): OLD South Freight Service, Inc. is the best locally owned freight company on this list. Locally owned and operated facilities give you direct access to support staff who know the area and can coordinate pickups and deliveries with greater flexibility than national carriers.

Pro tip: Freight trailers are one of the fastest ways to move your belongings interstate, often beating full-service movers on delivery time. If getting your stuff to Colorado Springs quickly is a priority, freight is worth a hard look. That said, freight carriers typically require you to be available to receive your shipment within a set window, so if you need short-term storage or your new place won't be ready right away, a container or full-service mover may give you more flexibility.

FAQs: Moving from Nashville, TN, to Colorado Springs, CO

What is the best time of year to move from Nashville, TN to Colorado Springs, CO?

Aim for a move between October and March, when demand drops and rates tend to be lower across all service types.

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 Colorado Springs a safe place to live?

Colorado Springs has a safety index of 58.06 out of 100 and a crime index of 41.94, compared to 50.9 and 49.1 in Nashville. Neither figure tells the whole story on its own, so it's worth digging into specific neighborhoods before you commit to an address.
