Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to Your Most Common Moving Questions
What is considered a long-distance move?
A long-distance move typically refers to any relocation over 100 miles or across state or provincial lines. These moves often involve more planning, logistics, and travel time than local moves.
How much does a long-distance move cost?
The cost of a long-distance move generally ranges from $2,000 to $10,000 or more, depending on factors like distance, load size, and additional services (e.g., packing, storage). For example, a move within the same province or state may be on the lower end, while a cross-country move with full-service packing could be at the higher end. Many moving companies offer free quotes to give you a more accurate cost based on your specific needs.
How far in advance should I schedule a long-distance move?
It's best to book a long-distance move 4–6 weeks in advance, especially during peak moving seasons like summer. This gives you time to organize and secure your preferred moving date.
Do long-distance movers offer packing services?
Yes, most long-distance movers provide full or partial packing services to protect your belongings during transit. This service typically includes professional packing materials and careful handling of fragile items.
Can I track my belongings during a long-distance move?
Many long-distance moving companies offer GPS tracking for their trucks, allowing you to monitor your items in real-time. This provides peace of mind and lets you know exactly when to expect your belongings.
What items cannot be moved long distance?
Hazardous materials, perishable foods, and certain valuable items like cash or important documents may be restricted. Always check with your moving company about specific prohibited items.
How does flat-rate pricing work for long-distance moves?
Flat-rate pricing provides a single, upfront cost based on the distance, size of the move, and any additional services. This transparent pricing model helps avoid surprise fees, allowing you to budget more easily.
What should I look for in a long-distance moving company?
Look for a company with experience, insurance coverage, transparent pricing, and customer reviews. Additional features like GPS tracking, direct service, and packing options are also valuable for long-distance moves.
Do long-distance movers use multiple trucks?
Some companies may transfer items between trucks, but many offer direct, no-transfer service, keeping your belongings on a single truck to reduce handling and minimize risk.
How long does a long-distance move take?
