Long Distance Moving FAQs
Long-distance moves typically cost between $2,000-$8,000 for full-service movers, though larger moves can exceed $10,000. Costs are primarily based on the weight of your shipment and distance traveled. Given Salt Lake City’s central mountain location, moves to Denver or Las Vegas tend to be more affordable than cross-country relocations to the coasts. Budget alternatives like rental trucks ($700-$2,000) or moving containers ($2,000-$5,000) cost less but require more work on your end.
Interstate moves are priced based on the weight of your belongings (measured in pounds) and the distance to your destination. Additional factors include packing services, specialty items, insurance, stairs, long carries, and peak season surcharges.
A binding estimate is a fixed price agreed upon in advance—you pay this amount regardless of actual weight. A non-binding estimate can change based on actual weight and services used. You may pay up to 110% of a non-binding estimate at delivery, with any additional charges billed within 30 days.
Book at least 6-8 weeks in advance for long-distance moves. During summer (peak season), book even earlier to secure your preferred dates—especially for moves along the I-15 corridor to California or Arizona, which is one of our busiest routes. This allows time for in-home estimates, planning, and coordination.
A moving company owns trucks and employs the crew that moves your belongings. A broker arranges your move by connecting you with actual moving companies but doesn’t perform the move themselves. Always verify who will actually handle your belongings.
Interstate movers must have a USDOT number from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). Check their number on the FMCSA website. They should also be members of the American Moving and Storage Association (AMSA). Verify insurance and read reviews carefully.
Interstate movers must provide you with the ‘Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move’ booklet and the FMCSA’s ‘Ready to Move’ brochure. You’ll also receive a detailed estimate, bill of lading (your contract), and inventory list.
Delivery times vary by distance and logistics. Moves from Salt Lake City to nearby states like Colorado, Nevada, or Arizona typically take 2-4 days. Cross-country relocations to the East Coast typically take 10-14 days, with Midwest destinations falling somewhere in between. Ask your mover for a guaranteed delivery window in writing.
You’re not required to pay more than 100% of a binding estimate or 110% of a non-binding estimate at delivery. Any additional charges must be billed within 30 days. If a mover demands excessive payment, this may be fraud—contact FMCSA immediately.
All interstate movers must offer basic coverage (released value) at $0.60 per pound per article. This is minimal protection. Full value protection is available for purchase and covers repair, replacement, or cash settlement. Consider third-party insurance for comprehensive coverage.
Pianos, antiques, fine art, safes, hot tubs, and other specialty items may incur additional charges. Stairs beyond the first flight, long carries (over 75 feet from truck to door), and elevator usage may also cost extra. Discuss these during your estimate.
Yes, be present when movers inventory your items at both origin and destination. Review the inventory list carefully and note any pre-existing damage. This protects both you and the movers from false claims.
File a claim with your moving company immediately. Take photos of damage and keep all documentation. Interstate movers must have a formal claims process. You typically have nine months from delivery to file a claim. Your insurance coverage determines compensation.
Yes, many long-distance movers offer storage solutions for items that can’t immediately go to your new home. This is helpful if your closing is delayed or you’re downsizing. Ask about storage rates and whether it’s climate-controlled.
