Moving Companies in Burlington, CO
What a Burlington move costs
Burlington sits along Interstate 70 in Kit Carson County close to the Kansas state line. Because few full-service outfits have storefronts in town, most households either bring in regional crews from the Front Range or rent a truck and pay separately for loading and unloading work.
| Move type or service | Typical cost |
|---|---|
| Local crew of two movers and a truck | $100 to $150 per hour |
| Third mover | $40 to $60 per hour extra |
| Studio or one-bedroom home | $300 to $700 |
| Two- to three-bedroom home | $1,000 to $2,200 |
| Long-distance moves | $2,500 to $5,000+ |
Industry-standard minimums usually run for two or four hours, and travel time often gets added on top. Companies coming from outside Burlington frequently add a flat fuel or trip fee, or bill the drive as extra hours.
Ways to keep the bill under control
- Ask whether travel time from the mover’s base to Burlington is charged and how it is calculated.
- Renting your own truck and paying only for loading or unloading help can cost less than a full-service crew and truck.
- Request a binding or not-to-exceed written estimate after a walkthrough.
- Check valuation coverage: the legal minimum often pays 60 cents per pound per item, so a broken 10-pound $500 TV would return only $6. Full value protection or your own renters/homeowners insurance may cover more.
- Eastern Colorado weather changes fast, from high winds and blizzards to summer heat. Book early for peak summer, and in winter or spring watch I-70 closures.

How this works: IRS SOI County-to-County Migration Data, 2022-2023. The IRS compares the address on consecutive tax returns, so every move here is a real filed household. The catch: it publishes annually with about a two-year lag, counts Kit Carson County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 100% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
