While moving within Oklahoma or relocating here from a neighboring state, you will hire a moving company within the state. However, this may not work out while moving here from a faraway state. And maybe a moving company from your location would be your preference. And as MoverJunction has a robust network with moving companies from across the US, you will comfortably find an affordable moving company to Oklahoma from any state.

It is a tough task to provide an accurate moving cost because a long-distance moving cost in the US is decided by many factors including your current location, the volume of household belongings you move, the season you move, and the type of moving service. Apart from that, every moving company will have its criteria in preparing a moving cost estimate.

Always remember that moving to Oklahoma from a faraway state, such as Idaho, Oregon, or California will be costlier than moving here from the nearby states, such as Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas, or Kansas.

Here’s an approximate moving cost from different states to Oklahoma.

When you make a moving cost estimate to Oklahoma, consider the following factors:

• Size of the move:

  The volume of household belongings you intent to move are crucial in deciding the total moving cost. The more items you want to take, the more expensive the moving will become.

• Distance you need to move:

  A mover will consider the distance you move while relocating along with the fuel charges, mode of transport, and a few other factors related to travel.

• Packing services:

  You may take packing services from the company but remember that the cost for packing materials will be added to the total moving cost.

• Moving add-ons:

  For any additional service that you opt on a moving day, the moving company in Oklahoma will charge and it will add the total moving cost.

• Storage:

  When you are moving to smaller house in Oklahoma, you may feel the need for additional storage and can hire a storage unit from the moving company. However, the rental will reflect on the total moving cost

• Moving date:

  As summer is the peak moving season, you have less chances of obtaining a good deal and the moving quotes tend to be higher. In winter, less people prefer relocating the home and you have higher chances of getting discounts as movers in Oklahoma do not want to miss a business. So if you want to move within a budget, plan to relocate the house in winter. Also, public holidays are costlier to move homes in the US.

• Insurance:

  Additional insurance against the household stuff is a nice move. However, it will get added up to the total 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 Oklahoma, the lowest amount you can expect to pay would be between $250 and $300, unless your move needs more hours or more people.

To move outside Oklahoma, especially for long-distance moving, you’ll need to hire a full-service moving company or a partial moving service company, considering the distance, cost, and headaches on road. However, to move within the state, you’ve got many cheaper options.

Different ways to move somewhere inside Oklahoma

• Hire a full-service or partial moving service company

  A full-service moving company will pack your belongings, load the truck, unload it, and unpack the belongings, all for a cost. When you have a full-service mover in Oklahoma at your side, you can sit back and watch the professionals moving the home. However, the services are a little expensive.

  Though full-time movers are convenient, they may sound costly for you. In that case, you can hire a partial moving service company which is more affordable but at the same time gives the moving professional touch.

• Hire a truck and load it with your stuff

  In Oklahoma, to move the home within the state, you don’t need to hire a moving company. Instead, get a truck on rent and fill your belongings into it. Drive it to the new home and save hundreds of dollars. While moving this way, the only money you need to spend is the truck rental, which may come between $30 and $47 per day plus the fuel cost.

• Hire a portable container

  You can even take a portable moving container on rent and fill your belongings into it at your convenience. The moving company will drop a container a day before the moving date and collect it once you fill it. The container will be delivered at you new address within a few days. A portable container may cost you just about $400 to $500 to move within 50 miles in Oklahoma.

• Rent a tow behind cargo or utility trailer

  When the stuff you need to move is limited, hire a utility trailer and fill your stuff into it. Tow the trailer behind your vehicle and drive to the new home.

• Move the stuff in your car

  You can even move your belongings in your car. However, the household stuff needs to be limited to fit inside a car. Squeeze them into the car with open seats, floors, and a trunk. When you feel the items would not fit into the car, you can take a friend’s help and fill the rest of the stuff into his car.

As opposed to moving locally within Oklahoma, 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:

Full Service Moving:

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.

Partial Moving Services:

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.
