These ranges are based on summer (peak-season) quotes. A move between October and April usually costs less: peak prices run 20–30% higher.

A rental truck also burns about 193 gallons of fuel over this distance. One-way truck rental prices depend on direction: a truck headed where many people are moving often costs more than the same trip in reverse.

Ranges combine 198 published quote ranges on 22 interstate routes (moveBuddha, retrieved 2026-09-24) with 47 independent published prices from U-Pack, HireAHelper and Move.org, which raised the top of several ranges. They are not quotes; get at least three written estimates.

Massachusetts is under 100 miles away. Local movers usually charge by the hour, so a move that short can cost less than these ranges.

Moving to Alaska or Hawaii goes by sea or through Canada, so we price them from published carrier rates and quotes: a 2–3 bedroom move from New Hampshire starts at about $6,250 of ocean freight (before trucking and loading) to Alaska and $6,420 to Hawaii.
