Piano Shipping Cost from Tucson, Arizona to San Diego, California

Moving a piano costs about $400 on average. However, costs vary depending on several factors, such as cost per mile (the starting price is about $50), the type of piano (a grand piano is typically high-priced), height and weight, ease of access, and the need for disassembly and reassembly.

To ship a piano to another state, hire professional long-distance piano movers for specialized handling, as DIY is risky; they'll typically use custom crating, moving blankets, and climate-controlled trucks, costing $450 to over $2,000+ depending on distance, piano type, and service level, with options for White Glove service or fitting into portable containers like PODS. Key steps involve choosing a specialized mover, getting insurance, crating/blanketing the piano, and arranging for secure transport and delivery.

When relocating from California to Arizona, expect professional movers to cost around $2,279 to $5,786, roughly $1,983 for a container move, and close to $868 for a rental truck. *Based on a 2–3 bedroom home and a one–six day delivery estimate. Final cost and timing depend on home size, distance, and season.
