Interstate, out-of-state and cross-country moves from Houston

Interstate. Any move that crosses a state line is interstate and federally regulated. From Houston the nearest out-of-state metro in our set is Nashville, TN, 790 miles away: $3,050–$4,050 for a 2-bedroom.

Out of state. Loading in Houston is priced at the city's 0.96 labor index; a 3-bedroom crew of 3–4 models at $175–$230 per hour, which feeds the origin share of every out-of-state quote.

Cross-country. The longest corridor here, Las Vegas, NV at 1,420 miles, runs $7,650–$10,150 for a 4-bedroom and 4 to 8 days in transit.

Modeled 3-bedroom cost per 1,000 miles from Houston at three corridor lengths.

How to choose among long distance moving companies Houston

  • Interstate movers must hold a USDOT number and MC operating authority; verify both in the FMCSA database.
  • Ask whether the estimate is binding or non-binding; only a binding estimate caps the price.
  • Insist on an in-home or video survey before any written estimate.
  • Ask if you are dealing with a broker or the carrier that will actually move you.
  • Compare valuation coverage: basic release value pays 60 cents per pound; full value protection costs extra.
