Every move to North Dakota is different and there are no ‘one-size-fits-all’ when it comes to the moving cost to North Dakota.
Why so?
Because, a long-distance moving cost is decided by multiple factors including the distance, the volume of the belongings, and the mode of transport you choose. Also, the moving company you hire matters in the overall cost.
Here, you need to remember that North Dakota is spread over 113,990 square miles and you might be moving from the other side of the US or maybe from the next state (California or Nevada). Based on where to move from and where in North Dakota you move to, the moving cost will be different.
Here’s an approximate moving cost from different states to North Dakota
From State | Studio/1 bedroom | 2-3 bedroom | 4+ bedroom |
---|---|---|---|
Georgia | $1,845-$2,700 | $3,545-$5,480 | $4,780-$8,930 |
California | $1,650-$2,600 | $2,230-$3,800 | $2,990-$5,750 |

While you prepare a moving cost estimate to North Dakota, the following factors need to be considered:
The heavier you stuff, the higher the moving cost will be.
The mileage between your current location and the destination in North Dakota is crucial while calculating the moving cost.
While hiring a moving company to pack the household belongings, the cost for packing materials and packing services will be added to the moving cost.
Any specific add-on service will impact the moving cost. This includes disassembling and reassembling furniture, moving specialty items, and moving supplies provided by movers such as a stretch wrap, felt pads, and mattress bags.
Post moving to the new destination in North Dakota, you might require a storage facility to stock your belongings for a specific period and the cost will be added to the moving quote.
The date you prefer to move is highly crucial as moving costs are greatly influenced by seasons. For example, a weekend moving or a holiday moving is more expensive than a weekday. Usually, people prefer moving in summer and the quotes tend to be highly expensive during this period. Also, summer in North Dakota is extremely hot.
The additional insurance against the belongings that are moved will add up to the moving cost.
Movers generally call a move within the state a local move as mostly it would be less than 100 miles. When you are moving locally, somewhere within the 100-mile radius, the costs are calculated differently by the moving companies. Movers charge on an hourly basis depending on how many laborers are required to complete the task.
The average cost could roughly be around $50-$75 per mover per hour. Usually, a minimum of 2 workers would require hours to complete the task in addition to the 1 hour drive time, which means you’ll be paying for at least 3 hours for 2 movers. This means, to move within North Dakota, the lowest amount you can expect to pay would be between $250 and $300, unless your move needs more hours or more people.
To get a clearer picture of moving cost within North Dakota, consider the following:
No. of bedrooms | No. of movers and hours | Approximate cost |
---|---|---|
1 bedroom | 2 movers and 3 hours | $250-$500 |
2 bedroom | 3 movers and 5 hours | $300-$750 |
3 bedroom | 4 movers and 7 hours | $500-$1200 |
4 bedroom | 5 movers and 9 hours | $1,200-$4,000 |

Unlike moving outside North Dakota, you don't need to completely depend upon a full-service moving company or a partial moving service company to move within the state if cost is a factor. You can even consider moving without professional support, but for that the household belongings you prefer moving should be limited.
Different ways to move somewhere inside North Dakota
Local moving companies in North Dakota deliver both full-service and partial moving services.
Since full-service moving companies are expensive for its exclusive services, certain people prefer partial moving service companies. On MoverJunction, you will find licensed local movers in North Dakota, delivering full-service and partial-moving services, from which you can pick the type of moving company of your preference
You can hire a moving truck and pack every household belonging to load them into the truck. Once you are done, drive it to the new home and unload the truck. This is the cheapest way to move the home and the only cost you need to bear is the truck rental, which may be somewhere around $30 to $47 per day plus the fuel cost.
When you raise a request to the moving company for a portable container after agreeing to the moving quote, it is delivered to your doorstep. You can fill the stuff into the container at your convenience and inform the company. The container will be delivered to your new address from where you can collect them. This is convenient when you are moving within North Dakota but do not want to drive a truck. A portable container within 50 miles would cost you around $400 to $500.
Hiring a utility trailer and towing behind your vehicle is an easy way to move your stuff within North Dakota. But your vehicle must have a trailer hitch for that.
While hiring a cargo trailer, here are a few things to consider:
You can consider moving your belongings in your vehicle when the total volume is just limited. It is extremely cheap but you need to squeeze the belongings into a car with open seats, floors, and a trunk. And if you find the volume a little more than what can be fit inside your vehicle, take the help of a friend and his car.
As opposed to moving locally within North Dakota, moving from or to another state complicates the move a bit more.
Here the moving options available to you may vary greatly depending on how far you’re moving and how much stuff you have.
For long distance moves, the DIY option doesn’t always work or is the most economical. This in part due to the fact that rental trucks cost a lot more when you’re renting them to drive cross country, not to mention the gas and drive time and all the headaches that come with driving long distances.
You may still get away with renting a truck and moving yourself, if you’re just moving a couple hundred miles or just one state over, but anything longer than that you might want to consider the following two options:
Hire a full service moving company and let them handle all aspects of your move. From packing to unpacking, assembling and dissamebling your furniture to driving the truck and loading and unloading all the items, everything will be taken care of saving you all the hassle. Of Course all this comes at a price, but trust us, for moves that are long distance it definitely worth it.
If the full service, white-glove option is too expensive and out of budget, you may opt for companies offering partial moving services. Companies offer labor help that help you load and unload the stuff and you can rent a truck and drive yourself. Similarly you may look into the moving containers options.
Whichever way you decide to go, make sure to compare both options.

Start My QuoteThe best way to ensure the utmost safety of your possessions while packing is to hire a professional moving company. Being experts in packing, they bring along with them high-quality packing materials and cartons and ensure that all china, glassware, and crystal items are wrapped individually before packing, all rugs and carpets are rolled and wrapped, all large or valuable furniture pieces and appliances are padded for transport, and that other such measures are taken on your behalf.
Usually, people prefer moving in summer as the days are long and sunny and there won’t be any traffic issues on roads. However, you need to realize that summers are highly expensive as it is the moving season and you’ll hardly get discounts and offers. Instead, plan your move in winter when there is low business. This is the right time to negotiate for a good discount. Similarly, weekdays are cheaper and weekends are costlier to move. Also, moving on public holidays is expensive.
While hiring a mover in New York, you need to confirm all items you have at home as this will help you know if the company can move them without an issue. Usually, a moving representative will visit the home and take stock of every item to provide the final quote. And if there are some items that a mover will not take, he will inform you during the discussion. However, there are a few common items that no moving company will agree to move in their truck. They include fireworks, flammables, cleaning fluids, and matchboxes.
When you approach a moving company in North Dakota, you need to consider:
As a rule of thumb, no genuine moving company will demand to be paid in advance for their services. This rule applies not just inside North Dakota, but throughout the country.
It is however common for moving companies to demand a small fee to reserve your move. This fee should only be a small deposit (maybe 5% of your estimate) and should be applied towards your moving cost.
Whenever someone is demanding full advance payment or a high deposit, not just in North Dakota but any state, you need to be cautious as it can be a rogue mover.
Hiring a moving truck is the cheapest way to move the home. However, renting a truck might only be a good option when you’re moving a few miles or anything under a 100 miles. For moves that are longer than that renting a truck and moving yourself might not be as cheap you may think. Consider the per mile charge of rental trucks, cost of gas, insurance, risk of traffic tickets and/or getting into an accident and damaging your belongings and/or getting hurt. In addition, for moving cross country there are several federal laws surrounding regular stops at weigh stations etc that might get you in trouble. For these reasons, renting a truck for long-distance moves might not be suitable.
