Moving from Yonkers, NY to New Haven, CT
At about 66 miles, Yonkers to New Haven is a local move. Movers bill it by the hour — crew size × hourly rate × hours on site, plus a travel fee — so the bill depends on how long loading and unloading take more than on the miles. At 66 miles the drive is on the clock too — about an hour each way — so expect travel time billed above the flat fee. It does cross a state line, so the federal interstate rules apply even though the job is priced like a local one.

How these figures are calculated
At the New Haven end
For a local crew after delivery, the largest licensed carriers within 30 miles of New Haven: Alaska to Connecticut Moving (Easton, 2,155 trucks), CT Moving and Storage (Southington, 25 trucks), Rt Relocation LLC (Cheshire, 24 trucks), Astro Moving & Storage (St. James, 16 trucks).
Rules that apply to this move
Both ends are in New York, so New York rather than the FMCSA regulates the move: ask the mover which New York licence or registration it holds and check it with the state. The federal 110% cap on non-binding estimates does not reach a move inside New York, so your protection on this 66-mile job is the estimate you sign, which on an hourly job means the rate, the minimum hours and the travel fee in writing. More in binding vs non-binding estimates.
Before you book Yonkers to New Haven
Get the hourly rate, minimum and travel fee in writing
Local quotes hide in three numbers: the rate per mover per hour (about $44 to $55 for a full-service crew), a minimum number of hours, and a travel or "truck" fee of around $75. Ask for all three before you compare two movers.
Describe the access honestly
A third-floor walk-up, a long carry from the truck, an elevator that needs booking — each adds an hour or more, and on an hourly job that is the whole bill. Tell the mover before they quote, not on the day.
Arriving in New Haven
A local move inside New Haven later — across town, out of temporary housing — is billed by the hour: about $505 – $831 for a two-bedroom home and $849 – $1,533 for three bedrooms. The nearest cities we cover from New Haven are Bridgeport (about 19 mi), Hartford (about 40 mi), Stamford (about 42 mi).

Yonkers to New Haven moving FAQ
How much does it cost to move from Yonkers to New Haven?
It is billed by the hour. A two-bedroom home with a crew of 2 for 5 to 7 hours comes to about $515 – $845; a three-bedroom home with a crew of 3 for 6 to 9 hours is about $867 – $1,560. Both include a travel fee of around $75. The 66 miles between the two cities barely matter — hours on site do.
How long does a move from Yonkers to New Haven take?
One day. The drive is about an hour, and a local crew loads, drives and unloads in a single shift. Book ahead: 1 to 2 weeks, 3 to 4 in summer or at a month-end.
What is the cheapest way to move from Yonkers to New Haven?
Do the packing yourself and hire the crew only for loading, driving and unloading. On an hourly job every hour you save is money off the bill, and packing is the slowest part. A container is rarely worth it under 66 miles because the container fee replaces very little labour.
Is Yonkers to New Haven an interstate move?
No. Both cities are in New York, so the move is regulated by New York rather than by the federal FMCSA. The carrier needs a USDOT number and whatever New York requires of household-goods movers; interstate authority (an MC number) is not required for this job. The federal 110% rule on non-binding estimates does not apply either, which is a good reason to ask for a binding estimate.
How many people move from Yonkers to New Haven each year?
The Census Bureau's American Community Survey (2016–2020) estimates about 498 people a year (margin of error ±210) moved from Westchester County, which contains Yonkers, to New Haven County, which contains New Haven.
