Long-distance moving estimate

Know your moving price before you call

Enter your ZIP codes and list what you're moving. You'll see an honest price right away, based on the real distance and your actual inventory.

WE ARE NOT A BROKER.
WE ARE THE MOVING COMPANY.
No “QA call” three days before pickup. No surprise revision. No surprises on moving day.

If you've moved before, you know how it usually goes. A broker quotes a low price, then a “quality assurance” call a few days before pickup suddenly finds extra items, and your volume and price jump when it's too late to switch movers.

We work differently. We go over your items with you up front, by phone and with a visual estimate over video call or Zoom, and lock your price in a written binding estimate. The price you book is the price you pay for the items and services listed.

This calculator gives you a starting price. Our team then helps you build a complete, accurate estimate, so there are no surprises for you, and no surprises for us.

Truck access

Pickup
Delivery

Long-distance shipments travel on a semi-truck (18-wheeler). If it can't get to your new home, we move your belongings to a smaller box truck for the last stretch. That shuttle is a standard charge across interstate movers, and we tell you about it up front instead of on delivery day. If the semi can reach your door, there's no shuttle and no charge.

Packing

Packing yourself? Please have everything boxed before moving day.

That includes glass, mirrors, framed art, TVs, lamps and dishes. Anything that isn't packed when our crew arrives has to be packed on site, and those materials and labor are added to your bill. We'd rather you know that now than find out on moving day.

You've probably heard brokers promise “free packing.” Then a different company shows up and charges for every box. With us there's no guessing: if you'd like us to pack something, choose Some packing and you'll see the price right here.

Questions

Before you book

Why do you price by cubic feet?

Volume is how much space your shipment takes in the truck. It's easy to confirm with our sales team before you book, so the price you lock in matches what we actually load.

Can my price change?

The price here is for planning. After you go over your move with our sales team, you get a written binding estimate. If you add items or services before loading, we update the estimate in writing first.

Are you a broker?

No. Southwest Van Lines is a licensed interstate carrier, USDOT 4142008 and MC 1588300. You deal with us directly, and we stay responsible for your shipment from pickup to delivery.

What protection do I have for my belongings?

Interstate movers must offer Full Value Protection and Released Value, which covers 60 cents per pound per article. We explain both before you sign.
