If you hire professional movers, a local move can cost anywhere between $550–$2,000 while long-distance moves range between $2,000–$7,500 or more depending on exactly how far you’re moving and what services you buy.
If these prices are a little too high for your moving budget, you can cut moving costs in a few ways:
- Gather quotes from multiple moving companies to find the cheapest option.
- Pack everything in boxes yourself.
- Downsize before your move.
- Opt for a more DIY moving service like a moving container move or a truck rental move.
