How much does long distance moving cost?

Moving home a long distance obviously costs more than a local move a few miles away. Several factors influence the cost of a long-distance move.

First, there is how far away the new home is or if it is in another country. This affects fuel and driving time costs. The weight and volume of possessions is an important factor in the moving cost. Will everything fit in one moving van, or do you need more? Moving costs can be reduced by taking less.

Speciality items such as antiques, artwork and pianos require special handling and equipment, making them cost more to move. You will have to pay for van drivers to stay overnight if they are far from their base. If moving to a country outside of the UK, there will be ferry charges for the van and drivers.

Don’t assume that your household contents insurance covers moving your belongings to another country. You may need to pay extra for this. There is also the cost of moving you and your family to the new home by car or public transport which should be considered.
