Cost to move from Oregon
A 2–3 bedroom move out of Oregon ranges from about $320 (a rental truck to Washington, 220 miles) to $22,800 (full-service movers to Maine, 2,990 miles).
Moving cost: $1,250–$16,120
Moving about 1,950 miles from Oregon to Texas costs roughly $1,250 – $16,120, depending on how much of the work you hire out.
Distance between the states' population centers by road (estimate).
| Moving method | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Rental truck (DIY) Truck rental, taxes and fees. Add fuel, damage coverage, lodging and your time. | $1,250 – $5,870 |
| Moving container You pack and load; the company drives the container. | $2,120 – $5,910 |
| Full-service movers Packing, loading, transport and unloading. | $3,380 – $16,120 |
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 195 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.
Alaska and Hawaii ranges come from published carrier rates and moving quotes, dated in each row (Matson's household-goods rates, U-Pack, Royal Hawaiian Movers). See how we estimate.
