Moving costs in Vermont

What you pay comes down to four things: how much you’re moving, how far it’s going, how much packing you want done for you, and when you move. Moves that stay inside Vermont are usually priced by the hour with a crew and truck; moves that cross the Vermont line are priced on the weight of your shipment and the distance travelled.

Summer weekends and the first and last days of the month are the busiest and most expensive times to move anywhere in Vermont. A midweek date outside those windows is the single easiest way to lower your quote.

In-state or state-to-state?

If both addresses are inside Vermont, you need in-state movers. If you’re crossing a state line, you need an interstate carrier with a USDOT number. Ask for a written estimate either way, and check that the estimate lists services rather than just a total.
