Moving from Warwick, RI to Springfield, MA
At about 75 miles, Warwick to Springfield 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 75 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 many people move from Warwick to Springfield
The Census Bureau's American Community Survey (2016–2020) estimates that about 28 people a year (±28) moved from Kent County, RI, home to Warwick, to Hampden County, MA, home to Springfield. The margin of error is as large as the estimate, so read it as a handful of households rather than a count. Going the other way: about 40 people a year (±54). Movers from Kent County make up 0.2% of the 14,862 people a year who moved into Hampden County from another county or state.

How these figures are calculated
At the Springfield end
For a local crew after delivery, the largest licensed carriers within 30 miles of Springfield: Lippincott Van Lines (Winsted, 22 trucks), Pioneer Moving (Chicopee, 10 trucks), Bert Hill Mover (Westfield, 8 trucks), Capitol Relocation & Logistics (South Winder, 7 trucks).
Rules that apply to this move
Both ends are in Rhode Island, so Rhode Island rather than the FMCSA regulates the move: ask the mover which Rhode Island 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 Rhode Island, so your protection on this 75-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 Warwick to Springfield
Get the hourly rate, minimum and travel fee in writing
Local quotes hide in three numbers: the rate per mover per hour (about $41 to $52 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 Springfield
A local move inside Springfield later — across town, out of temporary housing — is billed by the hour: about $525 – $859 for a two-bedroom home and $885 – $1,587 for three bedrooms. The nearest cities we cover from Springfield are Hartford (about 28 mi), Worcester (about 49 mi), New Haven (about 67 mi).

Warwick to Springfield moving FAQ
How much does it cost to move from Warwick to Springfield, MA?
It is billed by the hour. A two-bedroom home with a crew of 2 for 5 to 7 hours comes to about $485 – $803; a three-bedroom home with a crew of 3 for 6 to 9 hours is about $813 – $1,479. Both include a travel fee of around $75. The 75 miles between the two cities barely matter — hours on site do.
How long does a move from Warwick to Springfield, MA 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 Warwick to Springfield, MA?
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 75 miles because the container fee replaces very little labour.
Is Warwick to Springfield, MA an interstate move?
No. Both cities are in Rhode Island, so the move is regulated by Rhode Island rather than by the federal FMCSA. The carrier needs a USDOT number and whatever Rhode Island 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 Warwick to Springfield, MA each year?
The Census Bureau's American Community Survey (2016–2020) estimates about 28 people a year (margin of error ±28) moved from Kent County, which contains Warwick, to Hampden County, which contains Springfield.
