Average Moving Costs Across 190 U.S. Routes (2026 Data)
How much does a move actually cost between real cities? Averages you see quoted are usually national blends that hide the thing that matters, the route. So we computed the same estimate, the same way, for 190 common U.S. moving corridors.
How these numbers were made
Every figure below comes from the cost model behind our moving cost calculator, which is calibrated at seven distance bands between 50 and 3,000 miles and interpolated in between. For each route we took the straight-line distance between city centers and computed the professional-mover and container ranges for a 2-bedroom home. One model, identical assumptions, every route, which makes the routes comparable to each other in a way mixed survey data never is.
These are planning estimates, not quotes. Your price moves with season, access, and what you actually own. The method is documented on our calculator methodology page.
What stands out
The first 200 miles are the steepest. A 35-mile Washington to Baltimore move runs $675 to $1,500, while routes near 200 miles already price around $2,250 to $3,750. Once pricing switches from hourly to weight-and-distance, the jump is immediate; after that, each additional thousand miles costs surprisingly little by comparison.
Coast-to-coast is less than three times a regional move. Boston to San Francisco, at 2,693 miles our longest route, prices at $4,200 to $6,475, only about 1.8 times the 200-mile figure. Line-haul freight is efficient; the expensive part of moving is having a crew touch your belongings at all.
Containers keep roughly the same discount everywhere. Across all 190 routes the container tier holds at roughly half the full-service price, so the dollar savings grow with distance even though the percentage barely moves.

Every route in the table links to a dedicated page with the full breakdown by home size, from studio to 4+ bedrooms, and freight pricing as a third option. Start from the moving cost calculator and pick your corridor from the route list.

FAQ
How were these route estimates calculated?
Every route uses the same calibrated cost model as our moving cost calculator: straight-line distance between city centers, interpolated across anchor prices at seven distance bands, computed for a 2-bedroom home. One method for all 190 routes makes them directly comparable.
Why use straight-line distance instead of driving distance?
Consistency. The model was calibrated on straight-line distance, so applying it the same way keeps every route on the same basis. Driving routes are longer, but the calibration already absorbs that.
What is the cheapest route in the data?
The shortest one: Washington, DC to Baltimore at 35 miles, at $675 to $1,500 for a 2-bedroom home with professional movers. Under roughly 100 miles a move is priced hourly as a local job, which is the least expensive category.
Can I republish these numbers?
Yes, with attribution. Cite the figures with a link to this page or to the calculator. The interactive calculator can also be embedded on your own site free of charge.
