What's The Cost of Moving Cross Country?
We’ve seen cross country moves that cost $1,400, and we’ve seen cross country moves that cost $17,000+. Every move is different, and your final price will vary based on how you choose to move.
A DIY move is usually the cheapest, but it’s much more time- and labor-intensive than other moving methods. You’re only paying for the vehicle rental, but this (and other related costs) can vary wildly.
If you want to do a bit of DIY but you need help with the hard stuff, you can hire moving labor to load and unload the truck. It’s a good midpoint: cheaper than hiring full service movers, but pricier than doing everything yourself.
Lastly, you can hire a company that has the tools, expertise, and ability to execute your cross country move efficiently and professionally. This costs more than the other options, but the savings on time and stress (not to mention your back) are priceless.
We usually recommend hiring a full service mover that can handle the whole operation. Check out our marketplace to compare services and prices, and book your cross country move today.

- Additional fees
There are a few fees you should keep an eye out for with cross-country moves. These include additional stops, stair fees, storage fees, and packing materials.
8-12 weeks in advance is a generally safe bet. In peak moving season, you may want to book as far as 16 weeks in advance.
Always ask about the services they provide, their licensing and insurance details, their company background, cancellation policy, and payment methods.
Tipping movers for a cross-country move is customary, but not mandatory. If they did a great job, consider a tip of 15-20% of the total cost, split between the crew. However, tipping is entirely up to your satisfaction with the service.
Moving companies typically have tracking software that you can access through your phone to track where your items are at all times.
Cross-country moving companies have restrictions on transporting hazardous materials, sentimental items, pets, oxygen tanks, prescription drugs, liquids, and lithium batteries.
Yes. Many cross-country moving companies offer storage options in the event you aren’t fully ready to move certain items in.
Contact your mover ASAP to reschedule your cross-country relocation. The sooner you notify them, the better chance they have to adjust their schedule to accommodate your new move date.
To manage utilities across state lines: Call current providers to cancel & schedule new ones at your destination well in advance (2-4 weeks).
Research new providers in your new area. This ensures no service gaps when you move in!
Item missing in cross-country move? Act fast! Contact your mover right away to report it and ask about lost items.
File a formal claim following their process to document the loss and potentially get reimbursed (depending on your coverage).
Presence during cross-country move? Strongly recommended! Oversee the loading/unloading, answer mover questions, and address any concerns right away for a smooth move.
