Leaving New York? Whether you're relocating for work, family, or a fresh start, Reliable Movers makes long-distance moving simple. We’ve been helping people move across state lines for over 26 years — and we know how to do it right.
We’re licensed interstate movers, and we handle everything ourselves — no brokers, no outsourcing. From the first phone call to the final box delivered, our experienced crew is with you every step of the way.
We don’t just move you. We move you with care.
Every long-distance customer gets VIP service. That means our most experienced team members are assigned to your move, and your shipment is handled with top priority — without the upcharges bigger companies love to throw in.
Your belongings stay on the same truck from start to finish. We don’t swap teams or mix your things with other moves. Once we load up, we go — straight to your new home.
Interstate moving costs vary based on distance, time of year, and how much you’re taking. Here's what our customers typically pay:
2-bedroom apartment to Florida or Georgia: Starting at $6,000
3-bedroom home to Florida: Starting at $10,000
3-bedroom home to Northeast states (NJ, VT, MA): Starting at $5,000
Small loads (pianos, antiques, snowbird shipments): Starting at $1,000

How Long-Distance Pricing Works
We use flat-rate, all-inclusive pricing. Your estimate includes:
A dedicated truck
A trained crew (not temps or day labor)
Fuel, padding, and wrap
Disassembly/reassembly of furniture
One trip from Point A to B — no co-mingling with other shipments
We’ll do an in-home or virtual inventory review, then give you one price. That price only changes if your inventory changes significantly or if special circumstances apply (like multiple stops or storage).
Here are a few things that may change your rate:
Added furniture or boxes? We’ll reassess the truck size needed.
We ask that no boxes exceed 50 lbs and that you use proper box sizes (especially for books).
If we can’t park close to your home, use stairs, or access your road with our truck, we may need a smaller "shuttle" truck — which comes at a cost.
Delays at your new place? You might be stuck with unexpected storage charges.
Some companies tack this on after the fact. We include fuel in your flat rate.
Large carriers often “shuttle” your belongings from one truck to another — for $2,000–$4,000. We only shuttle if your destination truly requires it, and we tell you in advance.
Before you sign anything:
Always get at least 3 quotes
Ask for a binding estimate (not cubic feet — that’s a broker red flag)
Verify DOT credentials
Check reviews across platforms — and ask for referrals
Long-distance moving is complex, but it doesn’t have to be chaotic. We’re here to take the pressure off and deliver a move you can actually feel good about.
Reliable Movers is licensed and authorized as a intrastate and interstate household goods mover.
