Best Moving Companies in Utah

International Van Lines (IVL) is our top choice for a full-service mover in Utah. It’s best suited for homeowners who desire a hands-off moving process. The company’s full-time movers are trained to handle moves of any size and distance, packing and unpacking, loading and unloading, and transit. Services include assembly and disassembly, custom crating, auto transport, storage, offloading and debris removal, and insured protection.

International Van Lines’ full range of services includes professional packing, custom crating, short- or long-term storage, auto transport, and full-service international or long-distance moves by road, ocean, or air.

our price for a move with any company depends primarily on the distance you’re moving and the weight of your belongings. Other factors, such as home size, the inventory you want moved, and the extent of services you want, also affect price. We requested a quote from International Van Lines for a move across Salt Lake City, from Lehi to West Valley City. The company gave us an estimated range of $4,200–$6,150.

American Van Lines (AVL) has a team of full-time professional movers who can handle your most precious items, such as antiques, pianos, and furniture. The company uses only full-time movers rather than contractors, so its well-trained employees have an average of 10 years of moving experience each.

We also like that American Van Lines offers transparent pricing, meaning you won’t find yourself paying for hidden fees throughout your move.

American Van Lines offers Utah residents full or partial long-distance or local moving services, large antique or piano moving services, military moves, corporate relocation, commercial moving, and storage services.

American Van Lines doesn’t offer instant quote information, but its website has several sample moving rates posted that we used to estimate pricing. The company estimates a longer move of around 1,000 miles to be approximately $3,650, while a shorter move of 650 miles is closer to $2,900.

Safeway Moving Inc. serves Utah customers through its in-house teams and partner carriers. The company focuses primarily on long-distance moves but can use its broker network to coordinate intrastate moves in many areas. We like Safeway’s stated commitment to senior citizens, offering extra assistance from move coordinators to help seniors plan and execute their relocation. We especially like its no-hidden-fee policies and binding itemized estimates.

Safeway provides local and long-distance moving services, as well as packing and unpacking, pad- and shrink-wrapping, storage solutions, and insurance coverage options.

We received a quote of $5,695 for a move covering 900 miles, a little more than the distance between Seattle and Salt Lake City. Safeway stated in our estimate that we’d need to pay up to a 40% deposit, which comes to $2,278. The sales representative told us that we would receive a $300 discount if we decided on a three-day window for pickup.

Interstate Moving & Relocation Group (IMRG) works differently than independent moving companies. It holds broker authority, meaning a sales team connects customers to its moving partners. An advantage of this system is that you can often get quotes at a moment’s notice and schedule last-minute moves. You can also work with an IMRG move coordinator to arrange the exact type of move you need and request specialty services, such as vehicle shipping and cleaning. A broker may not be everyone’s preference, though, since the use of third parties can disrupt communication with so many moving parts.

IMRG coordinates moving services for local moving, state-to-state moving, corporate moving, car shipping, large furniture moving, and packing.

IMRG has a helpful moving calculator on its website where you can estimate a cost range for your move. Using this tool, we received a cost range of $3,900–$7,000 for a move from Seattle to Salt Lake City, which is about 830 miles. We requested this quote for a three-bedroom home. You’ll need to speak directly with an IMRG representative for a more precise estimate for your move.

JK Moving Services is a full-service mover that does interstate, long-distance, international, and some local moves. Its trained in-house team specializes in the secure packing of all household items, large furniture, electronics, antiques, and highly fragile items. The company’s mobile app makes it easy to track your belongings and contact your moving coordinator.

JK Moving offers full-service packing, vehicle shipping, pet transportation, specialty shipping, archive services, storage, data and electronic management and setup, chartered flights, and GPS tracking.

JK Moving does not provide instant cost information. If you want to get a quote, be prepared to speak with a JK Moving agent. The best way to get accurate cost information is to have an inventory of your items that need to be moved. From there, JK’s specialists can outfit you with a custom moving plan.

Getting your prized ATVs or RV ready for the many national parks Utah has to offer is easier said than done. Allied Van Lines is a reputable full-service mover that provides in-house vehicle relocation services. Many movers outsource this job to other companies, but Allied customers receive direct communication from the company handling their vehicle, as well as GPS tracking on their shipment.

Allied Van Lines offers a variety of full-service and partial-service moving services, such as packing, loading, transportation, unloading, and unpacking. Some noteworthy services include its fragile-only packing service and portable storage container service called Allied Express. These are both DIY moving services that help customers save money while receiving Allied’s services.

Allied Van Lines provided us with a ballpark estimate to move a three-bedroom home from Denver to Salt Lake City for a total of $7,272–$7,988. As a ballpark quote, it is subject to change over the course of a move based on unforeseen circumstances or unexpected events.

However, Allied Van Lines also provides binding estimates through in-home and virtual surveys. These estimates will be much more accurate and will only change if your inventory changes significantly. We recommend you work with Allied to get a binding estimate to avoid any moving day surprises.

North American Van Lines (NAVL) is a great full-service mover for anyone looking for clear and communicative customer service, as well as comprehensive contents coverage on their items. The company provides custom full-value release coverage, so you receive coverage based on the actual value of your items rather than a predetermined amount based on weight. In the rare case that your belongings are damaged or destroyed, the company offers a transparent and detailed claims process found all across its website.

North American Van Lines provides many full-service and partial-service moving options. It offers vehicle shipping, specialty shipping, furniture assembly and disassembly, storage, and shipment tracking.

We received a ballpark estimate from North American Van Lines for a three-bedroom home moving from Salt Lake City to Las Vegas for $6,489–$7,164. Similar to Allied, North American Van Lines provides binding quotes through in-home and virtual surveys. These are more accurate quotes that do not drastically change the price of your move despite unexpected events.

1-800-PACK-RAT is a popular option for self-service moving, receiving our top recommendation for movers who want to save money and take charge of the moving process.

Unlike a full-service mover that handles every step of the process from packing to unloading, 1-800-PACK-RAT delivers containers to your home so you can load them on your own time. When you’re ready to move, 1-800-PACK-RAT will deliver the container to your new location where you’ll unload it, and the company will come pick up the container from your new home.

1-800-PACK-RAT can deliver containers of three sizes: 8-foot, 12-foot, and 16-foot. In addition to container delivery for moving, 1-800-PACK-RAT has a network of storage facilities to store your container while you’re waiting to move to your new home. Moving labor is available, but it’s through third-party companies.

For a three-bedroom move in Utah with 1-800-PACK-RAT, we received a quote of $480.49 for a 12-foot container and $500.49 for a 16-foot container. These prices cover the delivery of your container, a 30-day rental, transportation, and the final pickup. To rent the containers for additional months, it costs $267.50 per month for the 12-foot container and $287.50 for the 16-foot container.
