TRUSTED LOCAL MOVERS

Tempe to Scottsdale Movers

Lifetime Moving & Storage moves students, young professionals, and families out of Tempe and into Scottsdale, a short trip up Scottsdale Road or McClintock that we run every week. As a licensed Arizona moving company, we handle the packing, the drive, and the unload with one crew, whether you're leaving an ASU-area apartment or a house near Tempe Town Lake. Every qualifying move includes up to 60 days of free storage, which matters most during the late-summer crunch when Tempe leases turn over all at once.

Timing a Move Around ASU's Calendar

Tempe move-outs near ASU come with a predictable problem: everyone’s lease ends around the same week in May, which means loading docks and freight elevators at student housing complexes get booked solid. We schedule around that crunch instead of finding out about it on move day.

Scottsdale move-ins vary more than people expect. South Scottsdale apartments are often walk-ups with narrow stairwells, while homes further north can have longer driveways that change how close a truck can actually park.

The distance itself is short, around nine miles, but a short drive doesn’t mean a simple move. We still confirm access requirements at both addresses before giving you a written estimate.

How Your Move Day Unfolds

Even a nine-mile move runs better with a plan built around your two addresses.

Before the Truck Arrives

We scope your Tempe property in person or by video, confirm elevator or loading dock reservations if you’re in a complex near campus, and find out what your Scottsdale destination requires, whether that’s stair access or driveway space. That gets you a written estimate with nothing left to guess at.

During the Move

Your crew arrives on schedule, protects floors and doorways at both stops, and loads everything with padding and wrapping included. We drive the short route ourselves and unload directly into your Scottsdale home, checking your inventory with you before we call it finished.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a Tempe to Scottsdale move take?

Most moves at this distance, about nine miles, are completed in a single day, with the exact time depending on stairs, elevators, and how much you’re moving.

Do you move ASU-area apartments during move-out season?

Yes, and we plan for it. Late April and May bring heavy demand for loading docks and elevators near campus, so we recommend booking your date as early as possible.

Can you move me into a walk-up apartment in South Scottsdale?

Yes. We account for stairs and building access when we put together your written estimate, so your crew arrives with the right plan.

What if there's a gap between my Tempe lease and my Scottsdale move-in?

Every qualifying move includes up to 60 days of free storage, which covers exactly that kind of gap.

Do you charge extra because the distance is so short?

No. Your written estimate reflects the actual job, including travel between the two addresses, so there’s no separate short-distance fee.

Can I book a move for the same week my ASU lease ends?

You can, but that week fills up fast across the whole Tempe market. Booking a few weeks ahead gives you more flexibility on time slots.
