Real cost estimates, top-rated Ogden movers, and an honest Ogden vs. Colorado comparison. What you need before booking your move.
Tell us about your move and we'll connect you with vetted, top-rated moving companies.
If you're moving from Ogden to Colorado, the geography is familiar — mountains, dry air, cold winters — but the numbers tell a more complicated story. Housing costs jump sharply, but so do average incomes. And the move itself, at roughly 573 miles, puts you squarely in long-haul territory where company choice matters more than a lot of people realize.
Below I'll walk through the best Ogden movers for this specific route, what the move actually costs across service types, and what you'll want to know before you sign a lease or hire anyone.
Out of 15 Ogden-area movers that can handle interstate jobs, these five are the ones worth calling for a move to Colorado:
The ratings are close. Read the profiles before you decide — context matters more than a half-star difference.
1701 West Riverdale Road, Roy, UT 84067
Sixty-six years in business, and the reviews reflect it. Out of 237 analyzed, 95.8% are positive — customers consistently highlight professionalism, careful handling, reliable communication, and crews that go beyond just moving boxes. The kind of company people hire again and refer to family. The 4% negatives point to occasional damage, communication gaps, or unexpected charges — the usual complaints, but at a low enough rate that they look like isolated cases rather than a pattern.
Services: Local, interstate, packing, unpacking, offices, pianos, art, antiques, full-valuation coverage, storage
DOT #: 70719 | State license #: 70719 | (801) 328-4796
4095 S 3500 W, West Haven, UT 84401
A franchise brand with a solid local presence. The 330-review sample is meaningful, and 95% positive is a real number. Crews generally arrive on time, move fast, and handle items professionally. The negatives cluster around billing surprises and damage claims that weren't resolved cleanly — friction points common to larger franchise operations. Get an itemized written estimate before your move date to avoid those billing issues.
Services: Local, interstate, packing, unpacking, pianos, storage, safes; accepts credit cards
DOT #: 2527384 | (801) 207-7936
1990 Wall Ave, Ogden, UT 84401
I'll be direct: a BBB grade of F and one-in-four negative reviews is a harder conversation than a few scattered complaints. The positives are genuine — fast, careful, friendly crews on straightforward jobs. But the negative pattern is consistent: belongings damaged and management not following through on claims. That after-service gap is exactly what you don't want to discover mid-dispute on a 573-mile move. I'd think twice before trusting them with a full interstate job, especially if you have furniture or items you care about.
Services: Local, interstate, international, packing, unpacking, offices, pianos, pool tables, art, antiques, crating, storage, safes
DOT #: 3271818 | (385) 239-9865
412 E 300 S, Salt Lake City, UT 84111
The most-reviewed name on this list — 484 Google reviews, 4.5 stars, 25 years in business. The detailed review analysis shows 94% positive across 248 reviews, with customers repeatedly citing experienced crews, upfront pricing, and clean deliveries. At $129/hr, they're transparent about what you're paying for, which is always a good sign. The 6% negatives mostly point to damage or slower-than-expected complaint resolution. At this sample size, that remains a small minority.
Services: Local, interstate, international, packing, unpacking, offices, pianos, hot tubs, pool tables, art, antiques, grandfather clocks, crating, full-valuation coverage, storage, fragile-only packing, safes; accepts cash, credit card, money order
Hourly rate: $129/hr | DOT #: 2028429 | (801) 532-6683
859 S 600 W, Salt Lake City, UT 84101
Nearly 1,500 Google reviews at 4.4 stars. That's the kind of volume that's hard to manufacture. The detailed analysis across 312 reviews shows 98.7% positive — customers describe energetic, organized crews who communicate well and handle complicated jobs without losing composure. Complaints are minimal: a non-refundable deposit policy flagged by a few people, occasional isolated damage, and rare inconsistency in attitude. Know the deposit terms before you book and you'll likely be fine.

These ranges reflect a roughly 573-mile move from Ogden to Colorado. Use the moving cost calculator to get a tighter estimate based on your actual inventory and destination city — the ranges below are a starting framework, not a final quote.
| Move size | Full-service movers | Moving containers | Rental truck |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio / 1 bedroom | $1,057 – $3,103 | $663 – $1,533 | $418 – $739 |
| 2–3 bedrooms | $1,933 – $5,258 | $1,243 – $2,204 | $469 – $969 |

Estimates based on pricing data as of January 2026. Final costs vary with inventory weight, access, fuel, parking, and timing. Get at least three quotes.
For a studio or one-bedroom, budget $1,057–$3,103 with a long-distance moving company. Two to three bedrooms typically runs $1,933–$5,258. A four-plus bedroom household can reach $3,801–$7,358. The spread within each range reflects real variables: how much you own, how many stairs are involved, and what add-ons you need.
Moving containers give you professional transport without handing everything over to a crew on their timeline. For a small load, expect $663–$1,533. Two to three bedrooms lands $1,243–$2,204. Larger households run $1,578–$2,930. It's a good middle ground if you want flexibility on packing and loading pace.
The cheapest option on paper is a rental truck — you do the packing, loading, driving, and unloading yourself. Studio or one-bedroom: $418–$739. Two to three bedrooms: $469–$969. Four-plus bedrooms: $562–$1,058. Those figures include estimated fuel costs. Just factor in the physical reality of a 573-mile self-drive before you commit.
If you want professional help without the full-service price tag, it's also worth comparing budget-friendly movers before defaulting to DIY.
Moving to Colorado attracts people for the outdoor access, the job market, and the mix of urban amenities with mountain proximity. The cost picture is more nuanced than "Colorado is expensive" — housing costs are higher, but so are incomes, and the overall cost of living index actually runs lower than Ogden's. Here's the breakdown.
| Ogden, UT | Colorado | |
|---|---|---|
| Average rent | $1,275 | $1,594 |
| Average home price | $383,904 | $541,072 |
| Per capita income | $62,986 | $87,598 |
| Cost of living index | 107 | 91 |
| Unemployment rate | 3.8% | 4.1% |
| State income tax | 4.95% | 5.49% |

A few things worth knowing:
You're not moving to a cultural dead zone. A few highlights:
Museums
Parks
Sports teams
Universities
Most moves on this route take one to six days, depending on service type and how busy your mover's schedule is. Summer moves can stretch toward the longer end of that window. Ask for a written delivery window before you book — not after.
Nine movers in Ogden can build custom crates for art, antiques, and sensitive electronics. Confirm that dimensions and materials match your specific items. "We do crating" doesn't mean they've handled your particular situation before.
Use a dedicated auto transport company rather than asking your moving company to figure it out as an add-on. Vehicle shipping specialists are better equipped for it and usually more competitively priced.
The two biggest draws are economic opportunity and outdoor recreation — particularly skiing and mountain access. Colorado's job market is larger, average incomes are higher, and if winter sports are part of your lifestyle, the move has obvious appeal.
The five companies profiled above are the best starting point for this specific route. If you want to compare options more broadly, browse interstate movers to see what's available beyond the Ogden market.
Four movers in Ogden accept cash. That said, most movers prefer traceable payment methods and cash is the exception, not the norm. Expect to pay a deposit upfront to secure your date, with the balance due at pickup or delivery. Confirm payment schedule and accepted methods before you sign anything.
The pricing on this route varies enough that a few extra calls are worth your time. Use the moving cost calculator to build a baseline, then get at least three quotes from local movers before you commit to anyone.
