Homeowners and renters across Denver deserve a smoother, less stressful move.
Denver's full-time, fully insured moving professionals — trusted by thousands across the Mile High City and rated 4.6 stars by 398+ customers.
Denver blends modern downtown living with quick access to the foothills, and every neighborhood moves differently. A high-rise move in LoDo or the Central Business District means elevator reservations and certificates of insurance; a Capitol Hill or Cherry Creek move means tight historic streets and limited loading zones; a move out to the suburbs in Centennial, Littleton, or Arvada means longer carries and bigger homes. We’ve handled all of it.
Abe Lincoln Movers is a Colorado-owned, veteran-owned company with over 20 years of moving experience and a full-time professional crew — not the rotating day-labor help many cheaper outfits send. We’re licensed and insured (US DOT #4405681 | MC-398077 | CO HHG #00405), we plan routes around Denver traffic and peak-hour congestion, and we coordinate parking permits and building rules so your move actually stays on schedule. Whether you’re moving a downtown studio or a five-bedroom home in the suburbs, we make it simple and stress-free.
“Moves rarely go exactly as planned. Closing dates slip, buildings change their elevator windows, and weather turns. That’s why we stay flexible — if your schedule shifts, we shift with you. I’d rather adjust on the fly and get it right than rush you into a date that doesn’t work.” — Ron, Owner of Abe Lincoln Movers
Most local Denver moves are billed at an hourly crew rate — one bundled price that covers your movers, the truck, fuel, and standard equipment like dollies, pads, and straps. In the current Denver market, a two-mover crew with a truck generally runs $140–$220 per hour, with a typical two- to three-hour minimum. A third mover usually raises the hourly rate but finishes larger jobs faster, often lowering the total. Long-distance moves out of Denver are priced differently — on shipment weight and mileage rather than the clock.
As a rough planning guide, a studio or one-bedroom Denver move often lands around $600–$1,100, a two-bedroom closer to $900–$1,800, and a three- to four-bedroom home anywhere from $1,800–$3,500+, depending on volume, access, and timing.
- Home size and volume — more to move means more hours. Decluttering before move day is the easiest way to cut your bill.
- Building access — stairs, walk-ups, long carries from the curb, and elevator reservations all add labor time, which matters most in dense neighborhoods like Capitol Hill, LoDo, and Cherry Creek.
- Parking and permits — some Denver neighborhoods require a temporary parking permit for the truck; handling it in advance prevents delays.
- Day and season — weekdays and mid-month cost less than weekends, and Denver’s peak season (May–September, driven partly by DU, CU Denver, and CU Anschutz move-ins) runs higher.
- Specialty items — pianos, safes, and other heavy or awkward pieces need extra time, tools, and protection.
- Packing — full or partial packing adds labor and materials but saves you significant time.

Most local Denver moves are billed at an hourly crew rate — typically $140–$220 per hour for two movers and a truck, with a two- to three-hour minimum. Your total depends on home size, building access, the day and season, and any specialty items or packing. Long-distance moves are quoted on weight and mileage. We provide a transparent written estimate before move day so there are no surprises.
Verify the company is licensed and insured — local Colorado movers should have a PUC permit, and interstate movers need a valid US DOT number. Compare written estimates from at least three movers, check recent reviews, and be cautious of quotes that come in far below the rest. Abe Lincoln Movers is fully licensed (US DOT #4405681 | MC-398077 | CO HHG #00405), insured, and veteran-owned.
Weekdays, especially Tuesday through Thursday — and mid-month dates are usually the most affordable, since weekends and the start/end of the month are in highest demand. Booking outside Denver’s May–September peak season can also lower your cost.
