Best long-distance movers in Omaha for small moves
Full-service movers often require a minimum shipment weight of 3,000 pounds, which means they’re not always a fit if you’re moving out of a dorm, downsizing from a studio, or bringing just a few key pieces with you.
For smaller loads, it’s usually best to hire a Omaha-based company that focuses on small moves.
Here are the companies we recommend:

Moving containers for long-distance moves in Omaha
A moving container can be a great solution if you want to save a little money on your move from Omaha to another Nebraska city or out of state. While you will have to handle the heavy lifting, you can load and unload containers at your preferred pace over several days or more. And the container company will still handle the driving for you.
Container costs vary depending on the distance of your move and the size and number of your containers, so it’s good to get multiple moving quotes to compare pricing for your specific relocation.

Average cost of long-distance movers in Omaha
Professional movers in Omaha charge an average of $106 per hour. Still, even the best-rated interstate movers need to factor in the scope and mileage of your move before they can give you a quote.
Factors that affect the cost of moving from Omaha
- Type of moving service: Whether you choose a full-service mover, a rental truck, or a container company, each option affects both cost and convenience. Match the method to your budget and how hands-on you want to be.
- Volume of your belongings: More stuff means more money. Movers base quotes on total weight or space, so downsizing before leaving Omaha could help reduce your overall cost.
- How far you're going: Distance plays a major role in pricing. A short in-state move is far less expensive than a trek across the country from Omaha.
- Move timing: High-demand seasons like summer and weekends drive prices up. If possible, aim for an off-season, mid-month, or mid-week date for a better deal.
- Extra services requested: Hiring help for packing, disassembly, or unloading adds convenience, but also increases your final bill.

FAQs
What else should I know about moving out of Nebraska?
Getting ready to move out of Nebraska? Make sure any moving company you choose has proper licensing and a valid US Department of Transportation number. Every mover we recommend in Omaha meets these requirements, so you can relax knowing you’re choosing reliable pros. If you want to verify a company's credentials yourself, just check the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s database.
If you’re gearing up for an out-of-state move, be sure to read the FMCSA’s Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move guide. It’s packed with tips on what to expect and explains all the protections you have throughout your move.
Local vs. national movers: what’s best for your Omaha move?
If you’re planning a move within Omaha or nearby, hiring a local mover is almost always the most economical choice. You’ll have 11 local movers to consider, and we’ve flagged the standouts to make it easier.
For relocations leaving Nebraska, however, national movers may be worth the extra cost because of their experience in coordinating long-distance moves across state lines.
When is the cheapest time of year to move away from Omaha?
Moving in Omaha during November and December has its perks. With chilly temps (around 13°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 Omaha?
If you're moving less than 50 miles within Omaha, 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? Check out our guide to the cheapest ways to move out of state.
