MoveDay and our top tier cross country moving partners provide easy to understand pricing for your move, and an expert who can explain each charge to you.
Our team wants you to feel confident knowing exactly how much you’re expected to pay throughout the entire experience of moving across the country. The last thing you want when moving to a different state is to stress about unnecessary charges or fine print.

Cross country moving FAQs
What does it mean when a move is “cross country”?
Typically, a cross country move means you are moving to a different state, and of course, maybe even from one coast to another.
It differs from a “long distance” move, because a long-distance move is only further than 50 miles away from your current home, so this means you could technically have a long distance move while still in your home state. A local move would be anything under 50 miles.
When should I start reaching out to a cross country moving company?
Peak moving season is typically May through September of every year, and if you’re planning to move across the country in this timeframe, it’s vital to reach out four to six weeks early to ensure you can reserve your moving day with the moving company of your choice.
Once you have reached out to your moving companies, start doing your research on the best movers in the group. The first tactic to find trustworthy, professional cross-country movers is word of mouth. Ask anyone you can about moving companies they have used and see if you find any common companies. Word of mouth and the personal experience of a trusted friend or family member is the best approach.
However, you should also do some additional research on the companies just to be sure which one is right for you. Look for an engaged and active online presence with positive and recent customer reviews.
What should I keep with me during a cross country move?
Moving cross country means that your move into your new home may take longer than you expect.
With any long-distance move, it’s important to know that your moving truck more than likely won’t just follow you straight to your new home. Moving vans are large, and it typically takes three to four households to fill one up. This means that the moving company will plot out routes that make sense based on customer destinations. So a driver may pick up your goods, and then need to make additional stops along the way to either pick up or drop off other shipments.
Your moving company will provide you with an estimated delivery window, and then as it gets closer a firm delivery date, but you should anticipate that you might be without your bigger goods for likely at least two weeks to four weeks depending on how far you’re moving.
This means any important documents, sentimental items, work uniforms or children’s toys that you will need within a month should be taken with you if possible.
How much does a cross country move cost?
Every cross-country move is unique, so it’s difficult to give an exact budget. However, there are several benchmarks you can use to ensure you get an accurate quote. For example:
- Total number of items
- The weight of those items
- Cross country move distance
- If you have any fragile or delicate items (that may need special crating)
- Any special services, such as packing and unpacking
You should discuss your budget with your move coordinator, who will be able to help develop the plan, and associated costs, for your move.
