Bound for the Motor City? Our Phoenix to Detroit movers plan around Michigan spring road limits, load your home onto one truck and set it up in your new place. Request your written price range.
We only contact you about this request. Your number is never shared.
Detroit, MI, asks more of a new arrival than most cities, from road limits in early spring to car paperwork that starts the moment you live there. We plan both before your truck leaves the Valley, so the move lines up with the calendar at the far end.
We complete more than 1,200 moves a year. The movers who pack and load your home are our own employees, and each one passed a background check before their first job.
Three things decide where your Detroit price falls inside its range.
Rooms, garage contents and big furniture set the truck space and the number of movers.
Upper-floor flats, basements and long walks from the curb add time at each end.
Late spring and summer weeks fill first, and early spring can bring road limits in Michigan.
Each range covers the movers, the truck, the drive north and east and the fuel surcharge.
| Size of home | Movers and truck | Price range |
|---|---|---|
| Studio or one bedroom | 2 movers, 1 truck | $12,800 – $14,600 |
| Two or three bedrooms | 3 movers, 1 truck | $15,850 – $18,300 |
| Four bedrooms and up | 4 movers, 2 trucks | $23,200 – $26,850 |
Packing, materials, storage and added valuation coverage are priced on separate lines.
Federal rules cover your interstate move, and the FMCSA Protect Your Move page explains your rights. For this route, four points stand out.
When a non-binding estimate depends on weight, 49 CFR 375.507 requires the mover to weigh the shipment on a certified scale before charging and to explain any volume to weight conversion in writing.
The Michigan Secretary of State says new residents should visit an office for a license, title and registration as soon as they establish residency.
To title and register your car, bring proof of Michigan No-Fault insurance. A written test is not required to convert your license.
Detroit Water and Sewerage asks tenants for a lease that makes them responsible for the water account, and owners for a registered deed or property transfer affidavit.
Our long distance movers plan every trip out of Arizona around the road, the season and your dates. For Detroit, that means checking Michigan road limits in early spring and building a delivery window that fits your first week of errands at the Secretary of State office.
Before we quote, tell us about stairs, basements and parking at both homes, any large or fragile pieces and whether you need storage between dates. Those details set the truck size, the number of movers and where you land in the range.
We have used Mentors 3 times over the past 1 1/2 yr. They first moved us from Bakersfield to Scottsdale and then moved us into their storage 6 months later while we had construction done – today finally moved back in! Each time the guys were professional, on time and very efficient.
Mentors Moving & Storage did an excellent job. We had a double move with them holding our stuff for 4 days until we closed on our home. The crew was efficient, took the time to care for our stuff and even removed furniture for donation. Highly recommend this company for your moving needs!
I highly recommend this company. They were very professional from beginning to end. During the move they realized they were not going to be able to fit everything in one truck as initially planned. They got an additional truck to move the items that would not fit in the first truck. They did not charge any extra for this. Great company I would absolutely use this company again. The movers who we met were friendly and very professional. 5 stars!

Each spring, MDOT cuts truck weights on many roads while the ground thaws. In 2026, state limits took effect February 17 and were fully lifted on May 15.
Spring limits can shape the route and the day, not your price range.
Finish these before loading day and your first week in Michigan goes faster.
Line up a Michigan No-Fault policy so you can title and register your car right away.
Schedule your office visit early, since Michigan gives new residents no grace period.
Carry your out-of-state title and ID in your own bag, not on the truck.
Send the city your lease or deed so the water account is ready when you arrive.
If you plan to arrive in early spring, ask your coordinator about road limits first.
They can in late winter and early spring. When limits are on, we plan the route on all-season roads where possible and may adjust the delivery day with you.
Right away. Michigan law gives new residents no grace period, so book a Secretary of State visit soon after you arrive.
If your non-binding estimate depends on weight, yes. Federal rules require a certified scale before any charges are set.
Yes, with a government ID, your Social Security number and a lease that makes you responsible for the water account at that address.
Yes. After pickup your belongings can wait in storage and head to Michigan once you have the keys in hand, priced as its own line.
Send both addresses, your target week and your home size by phone or form. Your coordinator replies with a written range and the day we plan to load.
