Here Are the Top 5 Interstate Moving Companies

Bellhop is one of the best interstate moving companies because of its great customer service, affordable pricing, and easy online booking.

But Bellhop can’t complete moves to some rural locations. If you need to move to a more remote place, a major national moving company like Mayflower may be a better choice.

Read on to see the top interstate movers that we do (and don’t!) recommend. Or if you’re in a hurry, answer four quick questions to get personalized recommendations based on your needs.

Bellhop Moving is a budget-friendly interstate mover with a solid reputation.

The company quoted us between $2,500-4,500 for a long-distance move — much less than the average: $6,017. Bellhop’s team will give you a ballpark estimate over the phone. And Bellhop even has some discounts and coupons.

Bellhop also has a solid reputation. Its online reviews are generally positive and it has a 4.3 Trustpilot rating.

Bellhop handles loading, transporting, or unloading. But if you need help disassembling and reassembling furniture or hooking up appliances, you should check out the full-service moving companies on our list.

Mayflower Moving Company is a full-service mover that’s been around for over 100 years. It has a partner network that allows it to handle moves nationwide.

Mayflower offers lots of extra, optional services so you can customize your move. Its services include car shipping, debris removal, packing, and storage.

Mayflower quoted $8,500 for a long-distance move, which is pretty high. The average price for a similar move is around $6,017. But the cost might be worth it if you need those specialty services.

If you’re moving on a tight budget, you may want to consider a company like Bellhop. Or you could opt out of the more expensive moving insurance to make it cheaper.

Mayflower owns a large fleet of trucks, so booking your preferred moving date should be easy. You can also book and track your move on the MyMayflower Move portal.

Allied Van Lines handles full-service moves nationwide. The company owns an impressive fleet of trucks, so you can likely move when it works best for you.

Allied quoted us $5,250 for a long-distance move, which is less than average. The company doesn’t give out ballpark move estimates over the phone. But you can request a virtual evaluation of your stuff to get a quote.

The moving company has an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau. But some locations have negative reviews on Google and Yelp. Check the reputation of your local branch before booking your move.

Pure Moving Company handles local and long-distance moves in California, Florida, and Washington. It gets great ratings, but its prices are much higher than average.

Pure quoted us $10,400 for a long-distance move, which is over $4,000 more than the average quote we received.

But the company charges a flat rate for the service, so you won’t have to worry about surprise costs. The price also includes wardrobe boxes (the best way to protect your clothes). And you can get a 7% discount if you pay in cash.

Pure Moving reviews mention that the team is extremely careful with fragile items. And the company doesn’t have any complaints on the Department of Transportation (DOT) website.

Two Men and a Truck is a full-service mover that also offers junk removal and storage options. It specializes in local moves, including moving to another state.

The company didn’t give us a long-distance move quote. But our research suggests its rates are competitive. If you want to save money, you can choose Two Men and a Truck’s labor-only option and use your own truck.

Also, the mover doesn’t handle certain specialty items, like pianos.

We checked multiple locations, and the company has a solid reputation, earning an average of 4 out of 5 stars on Google. We also didn’t see any formal complaints.
