Local vs. Long-Distance Moving – What’s the Difference?

Feature Snippet:
Not sure if your move is local or long-distance? Here’s what you need to know about the differences in planning, pricing, and services.

Full Article:
If you’re planning a move, one of the first things you need to know is whether it’s considered local or long-distance. The answer affects everything from cost to logistics. Let’s break it down.

What is a Local Move?

A local move typically covers a radius of up to 50–100 miles. These moves are usually completed in a single day and are often priced by the hour.

Key Features of Local Moves:

  • Quicker turnaround
  • Lower cost
  • Easier logistics
  • Ideal for apartments, homes, or office moves within the same city or metro area

What is a Long-Distance Move?

A long-distance move generally refers to relocations that go beyond 100 miles or across state lines. These are priced differently—usually based on weight, volume, and distance.

Key Features of Long-Distance Moves:

  • More planning required
  • May involve multiple days
  • Interstate regulations and paperwork
  • Specialized packing and protection
