Every Moving Company Has A Different Definition Of A Long Distance Move
​
-Not every mover has the same definition of a long distance relocation:
​
-
Some moving companies might argue that any move that exceeds 50 miles is a long distance relocation.
-
Other movers might have a more lenient policy and only classify moves within the 200-mile range as a long distance move.
-
However, most local and national moving companies say that 100-200 miles is still a long distance move, even though it feels local or regional.
-
Moving within the 70 to 200-mile range is complicated. The move is too far for a cheap local rate, but not far enough for a coast-to-coast price.

Why Do 100 to 200 mile Moves Have Higher Costs?
Although a 100-mile move is significantly less than 1,000 miles, there are still other factors to consider:
​
-
Fuel: Moves exceeding 50 miles from origin to destination will be charged a hefty fuel charge to cover the round trip costs from your pick-up and delivery location.
-
Travel Time: Moves exceeding 100 miles will take longer to service the move. As a result, a moving company will charge you a higher rate to compensate for the longer distance.
-
Crossing State Lines: Moving 200 miles away is a shorter distance, but for insurance purposes, your movers will have to charge a higher rate.
-
Brand: It's not always that distance that makes your movers expensive, short haul or long haul. Sometimes, it's simply the moving company charges a higher rate.
-
Company Profit: For shorter moves like 100 to 200 miles, long distance movers may have fewer bookings, which can result in a higher price. Companies often prioritize longer, more lucrative moves, so shorter moves may cost more due to limited availability and the need for the company to make a reasonable profit.
