What is considered a cross country move?

A cross country move is one that crosses state lines. It may or may not be a long-distance move, which involves traveling over 400 miles. A local move is one that stays within 50 miles of your current home.

How much does it cost to move cross country?

One of the most important factors to consider is the cross-country moving price. The cost of professional services will vary between different cross-country moving companies.

Typically, the average cross-country moving price is between $2,400 and $5,000. The actual cost will depend on home size, distance, and what services are needed.

At Allied Van Lines, we develop personalized moving packages that align with our customers' needs. With us, you only pay for what you absolutely need, so you can keep your moving costs low while still getting professional guidance from trained cross-country movers in your area.

To get the most accurate estimate, you can use a moving cost calculator or contact our personal move coordinators who can provide a specific estimate for your situation.

How Long Does It Take to Move Across The Country?

The average cross country move takes 2-5 days. That time frame can vary depending on the distance of the transport. Qualified cross-country movers will work diligently and efficiently to stay aligned with scheduled timelines. Throughout the cross-country moving process, they’ll also offer updates to keep you up-to-date.

How to Prepare for a Cross Country Move

Ready to hit the road? Here are a few handy steps that will make unpacking after your long-distance move feel effortless, rather than a months-long chore.

  • Pare down beforehand. While it can feel tempting to simply pack everything up and go through it when you arrive, doing so will unnecessarily increase your moving costs. Set aside time prior to your move to donate furniture, give away unwanted belongings, and dispose of items you no longer need.
  • Document and label. Take snapshots of the inside of each box before taping it up, number your boxes, and keep a list somewhere online - your email inbox, for example. That way, if you have trouble tracking down a spatula, or the power cord to your computer, it's as simple as running through your list and finding the right numbered box.
  • Switch it off, switch it over. When you arrive at your new home, make sure you open the door ready to start and enjoy your new life. Call your utility companies to make the switch prior to moving, forward your mail, and make sure your "automatic shipping address" is updated on websites like Amazon and food delivery apps to avoid boxes or pizza heading to the wrong home later on.
