  2. American Van Lines (4.9/5 stars): American Van Lines is the most experienced mover on this list. AVL has been moving customers since 1995 and uses full-time in-house crews trained on high-value items like art and antiques.

Good to know: For moves over 500 miles, national carriers are typically lower-priced than local moving companies in Manchester, NH. At that distance, local movers often charge 30% - 40% more because they don't spread long-haul costs across multiple shipments the way national carriers do. If a direct route and faster delivery (averaging 2 days) are priorities, a local mover may be worth considering, but that service comes at a higher price.

Moving container costs from Manchester, NH to Reno, NV

Moving containers from Manchester, New Hampshire, to Reno, Nevada, cost between $2,056 and $7,781. You're in charge of loading, and the timeline is yours to set.

What other costs come with moving containers?

  • Storage: Small containers (7 - 8 feet) run about $86 per month after the initial period, while larger units (12 - 16 feet) cost around $171 per month.
  • Access: Make sure your container company has a storage facility reasonably close to your new home in Reno, NV, if you need to retrieve anything while items are still in storage.

Pro tip: Before ordering moving containers, take a careful inventory of everything you're moving. A typical 1-bedroom home weighs around 3,000 pounds and fits in a single container starting at $2,056. Underestimating and needing 1 - 2 additional containers can push your total to $2,560 - $5,867, so getting your count right upfront saves you from a costly surprise.

  • 2 - 3 bedrooms: $1,801 - $3,880
  • 4+ bedrooms: $2,277 - $4,811

Pro tip: A rental truck from Manchester to Reno looks affordable at first glance, with base rates of $1,646 - $4,811. But once you factor in fuel ($1,058 - $1,209) , overnight lodging ($171/night), meals, and equipment rentals, most people end up spending $600 - $1,200 more than the base rate suggests. Building that into your budget upfront saves you from sticker shock at the end of the move.

What other costs come with rental trucks?

  • Lodging: Overnight accommodations on longer drives average around $171 per night. Most long-distance moves with rental trucks require 1 - 3 overnight stops.

Freight trailer costs from Manchester, NH to Reno, NV

If you're moving a larger household from Manchester, New Hampshire, and want to stay in control of the loading process, freight trailers offer a practical middle ground between hiring movers and renting a truck yourself. A 28-foot trailer is delivered to your door, you load what you need, and the carrier handles the drive to Reno, Nevada.

Freight trailers are priced by the linear feet your belongings take up, so you only pay for the space you use. Most moves on this route fall between $2,070 and $4,739.

Take a look at freight trailer costs based on home size for moves from Manchester to Reno:

  • Studio apartment / 1 bedroom: $1,851 - $3,536
  • 2 - 3 bedrooms: $2,070 - $4,739
  • 4+ bedrooms: $2,828 - $6,040

Pro tip: Freight trailers come with a 4-foot loading ramp, which can be a challenge with bulky furniture. With 8 feet of vertical space available, stacking efficiently often requires a ladder and a plan. Since you're billed per linear foot, packing tight can make a real difference in your final cost.

What other costs come with freight trailers?

  • Demand cycles: Trailer costs climb during peak moving season, especially from mid-May through mid-September when demand is at its highest.
  • More space: You're billed only for the linear feet you use, but underestimating your inventory means paying for extra space, typically around $86 - $171 more per foot.
  • Moving labor: Freight trailers don't include loading crews. Two movers in Manchester, New Hampshire, for about five hours typically runs $799.

What are the best freight companies from Manchester to Reno?

  1. MovingYourself (5/5 stars): MovingYourself is the pick for best for large moves. The company is well-regarded as a top moving container option for its load-it-yourself, we-drive-it model, and that same model makes it a strong freight option for larger homes that benefit from the company's 53-foot trucks and footage-based pricing.
  2. U-Pack (5/5 stars): U-Pack offers the best value freight trailer on this route. Alongside their flagship container service, U-Pack provides a top-notch freight trailer option that follows the same model: no deposits, no upfront fees, and pricing based on the linear footage you actually use.
  3. Brian Forst Transport (4.7/5 stars): Brian Forst Transport is the best locally owned freight company on this list. Locally owned and based facilities mean accessible support staff and area-specific scheduling flexibility that national-only freight carriers typically don't match.

Pro tip: Freight trailers move fast, making them one of the quickest ways to get your belongings from Manchester to Reno. If you have a hard move-in date and want your stuff there as soon as possible, freight is hard to beat. It's worth noting that freight works best when you're ready to receive your delivery, so if your move-in date is still up in the air or you'll need short-term storage, a moving container is likely the more practical choice.

FAQs: Moving from Manchester, NH, to Reno, NV

How much does it cost to move from Manchester, NH to Reno, NV?

Costs on this route range from around $3,117 to $14,457, depending on your home size and which service you choose. Full-service movers typically fall between $3,117 and $14,457, while DIY options like rental trucks and containers come in lower. Moving during peak season (May - September) tends to push prices higher across the board.

What size moving truck do I need for this route?

Rental trucks generally range from 10 to 26 feet. A 15- to 17-foot truck covers most 2-bedroom moves, while a smaller 10- to 12-foot truck works for a studio or 1-bedroom. Homes with 3 or more bedrooms usually need a 20- to 26-foot truck, and anything that size typically runs on diesel rather than gas.

What do local movers charge in Manchester?

Local movers based in Manchester typically start around $682 as a base rate, plus $210/hour per mover. That's a useful baseline if you're hiring help just to load a rental truck or container rather than booking a full long-distance move.
