Chicago moving routes FAQ
What is the cheapest route to move from Chicago?
By distance, Milwaukee, WI at about 95 miles, which is inside the local band and billed by the hour: roughly $475 – $775 for a two-bedroom home. Distance drives the price once you leave the local band, so the nearest destination is the cheapest one.
How much does it cost to move from Chicago to Oakland, CA?
About 2,153 miles, the longest route we publish from Chicago. From our model that is $9,689 – $12,918 for a two-bedroom home and $11,142 – $14,856 for three bedrooms with full-service movers, transport only, with a delivery window of 7–14 days.
How much do local movers cost in Chicago?
A move inside Chicago is billed by the hour: about $40 to $50 per mover per hour for a full-service crew plus a travel fee of around $75. A studio with a crew of 2 for 2 to 3 hours is $235 – $375; a three-bedroom home with a crew of 3 for 6 to 9 hours is $795 – $1,425.
Do I need an interstate-licensed mover to leave Chicago?
Only if the move crosses a state line. 164 of the 167 routes we publish from Chicago do, and for those the carrier must hold active FMCSA interstate authority (an MC number) as well as a USDOT number. The 2 routes that stay inside Illinois are regulated by the state instead, and the federal 110% rule on non-binding estimates does not apply to them.
How are these Chicago route distances and prices worked out?
18 of the 167 distances are measured driving miles; the rest are estimated from city coordinates using the median road-to-straight-line ratio across our measured corridors, and are marked approximate. Prices come from one published model — distance × home-size factor × service rate past 100 miles, hourly inside it — so every route on this page is comparable with every other.
