Long Distance Moving Costs
Long-distance moves are usually priced by weight or volume and distance, plus extra services. Prices vary a lot between companies, so comparing quotes is worth it.
What affects the price
- Weight or volume of your belongings
- Distance between your old and new home
- Packing, crating and storage
- Delivery window: a guaranteed date usually costs more
- Access at both addresses (stairs, parking, long carries)
What to check in a quote
- Is it a binding estimate or can the price change after weighing?
- Which services are included and which cost extra?
- What valuation or insurance cover is offered?
- The company's U.S. DOT number for interstate moves
