Local moves with movers use HomeAdvisor's prices by home size, adjusted to your state's price level. Moves of 50 to 400 miles use This Old House's 2025 survey averages: low is the 50-200 mile average, high the 201-500 mile average, typical their midpoint. Long-distance moves with movers are a base price plus a per-mile amount for each home size, fitted to MoveAdvisor's prices at 1,000 and 2,000 miles. Truck rentals are a day's rental plus mileage for shorter moves, or a one-way rental priced per mile from Fixr's 1,000-mile quotes. Packing is HomeAdvisor's range. Studios use one-bedroom prices where a source has none for studios.
