The best times to move in Tempe are October-April when temperatures are mild (60-80°F). Avoid moving during Arizona's extreme summer heat (June-August) when temperatures exceed 110°F. If you must move in summer, schedule your move for early morning (6am-11am) to avoid the hottest part of the day.
For Tempe moves, we recommend booking 2-3 weeks in advance for regular moves. During peak ASU moving season (late July-August and May), book 4-6 weeks ahead as demand is highest. Last-minute bookings may be available but with less selection and higher prices. Post your move on MOVEPack to get multiple bids quickly.
