In these situations, a Missoula moving company that handles small long-distance moves is a smarter choice.

Average cost of long-distance movers in Missoula
In Missoula, you can expect to pay about $150 per hour for professional movers. To get a reliable estimate, even the most reputable interstate movers will need specifics about your move’s distance and volume.
Factors that affect the cost of moving from Missoula
- How long the trip is: How far you're moving is the biggest factor in how much you'll pay. Moving just a few hundred miles within Montana typically costs a lot less than making a cross-country trek from Missoula.
- How much stuff you’re bringing: Since moving rates are based on the weight of your belongings, take time to create a detailed inventory for the most precise quote. Want to save money when moving out of Missoula? Declutter and lighten your load before you pack.
- Extra help: Getting help with packing, unpacking, or extra hands can make your move a lot less stressful—but keep in mind, these add-on services will raise your overall price.
- The kind of mover you hire: Moving costs can differ a lot depending on whether you hire a full-service company, rent a moving container, or drive a rental truck yourself. Every move is unique, so think about your budget and what you need before deciding which option is right for you.
- The date you’re planning to move: When it comes to moving, timing is everything if you want to save money. Peak season runs through the summer, so you'll score the best rates by booking between October and April. For even bigger savings, try to move mid-month or on a weekday—these times are less popular, which means lower prices for you.

FAQs
What else should I know about moving out of Montana?
A moving company helping you move out of Montana must be properly licensed and have a US Department of Transportation number. Of course, all of the Missoula movers we’ve included on this list have everything in order but you can check for yourself on the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s database.
If you’re moving from one state to another, you’ll want to familiarize yourself with Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move document from the FMCSA.
Should I choose a local or national mover for my Missoula relocation?
For most moves starting in Missoula, a local moving company will be the most affordable route. There are 3 local movers to pick from, and we’ve already spotlighted the best options so you don’t have to sort through them all.
When your move takes you beyond Montana, however, a national moving company may be worth the higher price tag thanks to their long-distance expertise and streamlined logistics.
When is the cheapest time of year to move away from Missoula?
Moving in Missoula during November and December has its perks. With chilly temps (around 16°F), holiday commitments, and the school year underway, most people aren’t relocating, so moving companies have more open schedules. That means you’ve got a better chance to score discounts and even negotiate for lower rates. Check out tips on how to negotiate with moving companies for extra savings.
What are the cheapest ways to move out of Missoula?
If you're moving less than 50 miles within Missoula, a DIY approach is usually the most budget-friendly option. You can save big by renting a truck — U-Haul is a popular pick — or by choosing a moving container service like PODS. Looking for even more ways to cut costs?
