Modeled moving cost
A 3-bedroom interstate move involving Minnesota models at $5,100–$6,800 at the median corridor distance we publish for the state, about 1,223 miles. Half of the 108 Minnesota corridors in our inventory model between $5,700 and $7,100 at that size. In this cohort: the spread comes from corridor choice: this cohort reaches 27 states. These are model outputs, not quotes: the corridor page for your own city pair is the number to plan against.

How we read the Minnesota corridor set
The 108 corridors we price for Minnesota reach 27 states, so the useful question is which corridor you are on rather than what a Minnesota move costs on average.
Every figure on this page comes from the same model applied to every corridor we publish. The full distribution behind it — percentiles, distance bands and the assumptions we declare — is published on the moving cost data page.
What our Minnesota corridor data shows
First-party statistics computed across every published corridor with an endpoint in this state. Model outputs, not collected quotes or survey data.
- Modeled corridorsModeled
- 108 published
- The Minnesota cohort is 108 modeled corridors (58 out, 50 in) reaching 27 states. Statistics below are computed over exactly those lanes.
- Median modeled midpointDerived
- $6,100
- Rank the Minnesota cohort by midpoint and the middle corridor lands at $6,100, covering 1,223 miles. It is the centre of our modeled corridor set, not an observed Minnesota price.
- Middle half of the cohortDerived
- $5,700–$7,100
- The interquartile band for Minnesota runs $5,700 to $7,100; the tails outside it are distance outliers, which is why each corridor keeps its own page.
- Modeled distance rangeDerived
- 1,054–1,540 miles
- The middle half of the Minnesota cohort runs 1,054 to 1,540 miles, inside a full span of 420 to 1,805 miles. Distance is the first thing that separates two Minnesota quotes.
- Long-haul shareDerived
- 32% of corridors
- 32% of the Minnesota cohort runs 1,500 miles or more and 7% stays under 800 miles. Where your own move falls in that split decides which cost lever is worth negotiating.
- Distance effectDerived
- $1,575 per 500 miles
- Fitting midpoint against distance across the Minnesota cohort, each additional 500 modeled miles adds roughly $1,575 to a 3-bedroom estimate. That gradient, not the state line, explains most of the ordering in the corridor table below.
- Home-size effectDerived
- $300 per 500 lbs
- Held at the Minnesota cohort's median distance, every additional 500 lbs of shipment adds about $300 in the model. Inventory accuracy moves a Minnesota estimate further than corridor choice does for most households.

How far the Minnesota corridor set reaches
We publish 108 corridors with a Minnesota endpoint, connecting 27 other states. The largest single grouping is Minnesota–South corridors at 47% of the modeled set, with the remainder spread across the other regions. A state-level figure blends all of that together, which is why the range above is wide and the corridor pages below are narrow.
Where the Minnesota cohort sits on the map
4 corridors show the shape of the cohort: Minneapolis to Chicago (shortest modeled lane, 420 miles, $3,400 modeled midpoint); Minneapolis to Houston (median modeled lane, 1,225 miles, $5,900 modeled midpoint); San Francisco to Minneapolis (longest modeled lane, 1,805 miles, $7,500 modeled midpoint); San Jose to Minneapolis (highest modeled midpoint, 1,790 miles, $8,150 modeled midpoint). The corridor pages behind these lanes show how the midpoint is assembled.
What distance does to a Minnesota estimate
The Minnesota lanes fit a gradient of roughly $1,575 per 500 modeled miles at 3 bedrooms. That is a relationship inside our model, not a rate carriers publish. Use it to sanity-check a quote against the corridor page, not to price a lane we do not publish.
Inbound and outbound are different questions
Our Minnesota set splits into 58 corridors leaving the state and 50 arriving. They are not mirror images in the model: the service-index assumption applies at whichever end the crew hours land, so a corridor and its reverse can price differently at identical distance.

Two clicks get you to a usable number: pick the Minnesota corridor nearest your move, then read its breakdown. State-level ranges exist to frame expectations, not to settle a budget.

Minnesota moving cost questions
How much does a long-distance move in or out of Minnesota cost?
Across the 108 Minnesota corridors we price, a 3-bedroom move is estimated at $5,100–$6,800, with a median corridor of about 1,223 miles. Corridor length, shipment weight and the month you book explain most of the spread. That range is model output rather than a price any mover has committed to.
How much does it cost to move out of Minnesota?
At the cohort median, our model puts a 3-bedroom interstate move at $5,100–$6,800 at the median Minnesota corridor distance of 1,223 miles. Half of the published Minnesota corridors model between $5,700 and $7,100. The corridor page for your own city pair is narrower and more useful.
Is moving into Minnesota priced differently from moving out?
In our model the direction matters because the service-index assumption applies where the crew hours fall. We publish 58 outbound and 50 inbound Minnesota corridors, and a lane can price differently in each direction at the same distance.
Why do Minnesota moving costs vary so much?
Because the corridors do. The Minnesota lanes we price run 420 to 1,805 miles, and each additional 500 miles adds roughly $1,575 to a 3-bedroom estimate in the model. Distance first, shipment weight second, market assumptions third.
Can I use these Minnesota figures as a quote?
No — these are modeled figures, not offers. Only a carrier can issue a binding or non-binding estimate, and it will do so after establishing your shipment weight, access conditions and dates.
