Average cost of long-distance movers in Salt Lake City
Hiring professional movers in Salt Lake City typically costs around $137 per hour. That said, the top interstate moving companies will still need key details — like how far you’re going and how much you're moving — to provide an accurate quote.
Factors that affect the cost of moving from Salt Lake City
- Moving method: Your budget will look very different depending on whether you go full-service, use a container, or rent your own truck. Choose based on how much labor you’re willing to handle yourself.
- Distance from start to finish: Longer moves mean higher transportation costs. Relocating across several states from Salt Lake City will cost more than a nearby in-state move.
- Extras you request: Need help packing? Unloading? Storage? Those perks add convenience — but they also add to your bottom line.
- The size of your move: Movers charge based on total weight or volume. If you’re taking everything, costs will rise. Lightening the load before leaving Salt Lake City can help.
- Time of year you move: Summer rates are almost always higher. If you want a better deal, try planning for the off-season or mid-month window.

FAQs
What else should I know about moving out of Utah?
A moving company helping you move out of Utah must be properly licensed and have a US Department of Transportation number. Of course, all of the Salt Lake City 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.
Is a local mover or a national mover better for leaving Salt Lake City?
Sticking with a local mover in Salt Lake City is generally easier on your wallet. With 20 movers available in the area, you’ll have no shortage of options — and we’ve highlighted the ones most worth considering.
But if your move is taking you out of Utah, national companies often have the resources and experience to handle big relocations more smoothly, even if they come at a premium.
When is the cheapest time of year to move away from Salt Lake City?
Moving companies in Salt Lake City are usually slower in November and December due to the average winter low of 23°F, the holidays and kids being in school, so you can negotiate with a mover more during those months and save some money.
What are the cheapest ways to move out of Salt Lake City?
DIY moving will always be cheaper, especially when moving within 50 miles of Salt Lake City. The cheapest options for moving out of the Crossroads of the West are usually renting a moving truck like U-Haul or a moving container like PODS. We’ve also got a helpful guide if you’re looking for the cheapest ways to move out of state.
