Kansas City to Wichita Movers — Flat-Rate Long Distance
Moving from Kansas City to Wichita? Show Me Movers handles the whole move door to door — about 200 miles south on I-35 — with our own crew and our own truck, at a flat rate quoted up front. No brokers, no handoff to a line-haul carrier, and no strangers meeting your belongings on the other end. The same crew that loads your home in Kansas City is the crew that unloads it in Wichita.
How our Kansas City to Wichita moves work
Our long-distance moves are quoted at a flat rate after a walkthrough — in person or a quick virtual tour of your home — so the price you’re given is the price you pay, based on your actual inventory rather than an hourly clock ticking across the drive. Wichita is a straight shot down I-35, about three hours away, so most Kansas City to Wichita moves are handled in a single day, loaded in the morning and delivered the same afternoon or evening.
Crossing the state line — what actually changes
A move from Kansas City to Wichita does cross from Missouri into Kansas, but for a household move that mostly just means updating your driver’s license and vehicle registration once you’re settled — there’s no special permit or complicated paperwork on our end. Wichita is currently one of the most popular in-state destinations for people leaving the Kansas City area, so you’ll have plenty of company making the same trip.
Settling into Wichita
Wichita is Kansas’s largest city, with a lower cost of living than Kansas City and a genuine aviation and manufacturing economy behind it — Textron, Spirit AeroSystems, and Cessna all have a major presence here. The city runs from the walkable breweries and lofts of Old Town to family-friendly suburbs like Andover, Derby, and Maize, with Riverside and College Hill offering some of the more established, tree-lined neighborhoods close to downtown. Wherever in the Wichita metro you’re headed, we’ll get you there and get you unloaded so you can start settling in.
What’s included
Your move can be as hands-on or hands-off as you want:
- Packing & unpacking — we bring the boxes, paper, and tape and label everything by room, or pack just the fragile things and leave the rest to you.
- Disassembly & reassembly — beds, tables, and anything else that has to come apart to travel safely goes back together at the new place.
- Furniture protection — padded, wrapped, and secured for the highway, not just carried across a room.
- Storage — if your closing or lease dates in Kansas City and Wichita don’t line up, ask us about holding your belongings in between.

Kansas City to Wichita moving FAQ
How much does a move from Kansas City to Wichita cost?
It’s quoted at a flat rate after we’ve seen your home and listed the inventory, so the number depends mostly on how much you’re moving and what needs special handling — not on how long the drive takes. Once you have the quote, that’s the price, with no day-of surprises. Call (816) 560-1174 or request a quote online to get yours.
How long does the move take?
Wichita is about 200 miles south on I-35, roughly a three-hour drive, so most moves are done in a single day — loaded in the morning, delivered that same day.
Is the same crew there at both ends?
Yes. The crew that loads your home in Kansas City drives it and unloads it in Wichita. We don’t hand your move off to a separate long-distance carrier, so the same people are responsible for your belongings from door to door.
Do I need to do anything differently since it’s a different state?
Not much on moving day itself — the paperwork comes after, when you update your driver’s license and vehicle registration to Kansas. Book a little further ahead than you would for a local move, especially in summer and around the end of the month, so we can lock in your date.
