Interstate household goods moves only. Same-state moves are not eligible, regardless of distance.
Understanding these factors helps you budget accurately and potentially save money on your move.
The miles between your origin and destination is the primary cost driver. Cross-country moves (2,000+ miles) cost more than regional moves due to fuel, time, and logistics.
Moving companies calculate costs based on the weight of your belongings. More furniture and boxes means higher costs. Decluttering before your move can save hundreds.
Peak moving season (May-September) typically costs 20-30% more due to high demand. Moving in fall or winter can result in significant savings.
Professional packing, specialty item handling (pianos, antiques), storage, and white-glove delivery all add to your total. Choose services based on your needs and budget.
These are national averages for 2024. Your actual cost may vary based on specific factors.
