PRICING

How Much Do Long-Distance Movers Cost in Washington, DC?

The cost of hiring long-distance movers in Washington, DC depends on the size of your shipment, the distance to your destination, and the transportation option you select. Your moving date and season, stairs, elevators, parking restrictions, and the time required at each property can also affect the price.

Optional services such as packing, storage, custom crating, and specialty-item handling increase the total when added. Your long-distance moving quote is calculated from the confirmed inventory, route, access conditions, timing, and services requested for your move.

DISTANCE	TYPICAL TRANSIT	AVERAGE COST
Under 500 mi.	Same day to next day	$1,500 to $4,500
500 to 1,500 mi.	1 to 3 days	$2,500 to $6,000

2,500+ mi.	5 to 10 days	$4,500 to $12,000+

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO

Expert Tips for Moving Out of Washington, DC

DDOT Parking Permits. Unless your building features a dedicated commercial loading dock, the District requires trucks to reserve a street parking lane. You must secure an Emergency No Parking (ENP) permit through the TOPS portal, pick up the physical signs at a local DDOT kiosk, and post them at least 72 hours in advance to avoid fines.

Navigating Historic Streets. Neighborhoods with historic rowhouses, such as Georgetown or Capitol Hill, often feature narrow streets, tight corners, and restricted alleys. If a large interstate trailer cannot safely access your block, your plan will include a shuttle service using smaller, highly maneuverable box trucks.

COI Requirements for High-Rises. Nearly every managed apartment, condo, and co-op in areas like Navy Yard and NoMa requires a Certificate of Insurance (COI) before granting access to freight elevators. Property managers typically need these documents submitted 5 to 7 days prior to arrival.

Frequently Asked Questions

View all

How do I get an estimate?

Choose whichever fits your schedule for a free quote or consultation.

✓Video walkthrough. A 15-minute video call, room by room. Most popular option.
✓Call us. 866-565-1516 speak with our friendly team.
✓Request a quote online. Send details and we’ll follow up.
✓Free in-person estimate. Available for homes with 2+ bedrooms.

Will my furniture be protected?

Yes. At Poseidon Moving, protecting your furniture is one of our highest priorities.

Every piece is carefully prepared before it’s moved. Our crews use heavy duty moving blankets, stretch wrap, floor protection, and proven loading techniques to help prevent scratches, dents, and shifting during transport.

If you have antiques, artwork, glass, marble, or other high-value items, we can recommend additional protection options such as custom crating or White Glove service.

Are there items you can't move?

Yes. For safety reasons, we cannot transport hazardous materials or certain restricted items. These are commonly referred to as “non-allowable items.”

This includes:

•Propane tanks, gasoline, kerosene, and lighter fluid
•Paint, aerosols, household cleaners, and other hazardous chemicals
•Fireworks, ammunition, matches, and charcoal
•Living things, including plants, fish, and pets

We recommend transporting these items yourself, using them before your move, or disposing of them safely according to local regulations.

Not sure about a specific item? Just ask your Move Coordinator before moving day, and we’ll be happy to let you know if it can be transported.

Can you take down TVs and wall-mounted items?

Yes. We can remove and reinstall many wall-mounted items as part of your move.

Our crews can typically dismount and reinstall:

✓Mounted TVs
✓Artwork and mirrors
✓Shelving
✓Window air conditioners

Some installations may require additional hardware, specialized tools, or extra time, so these services may incur an additional charge.

If you know you’ll need help with wall-mounted items, let your Move Coordinator know before moving day so we can arrive fully prepared.

How much will my move cost?

Every move is unique, so the most accurate pricing starts with a personalized estimate.

✓Local Moves – Pricing depends on the size of your move, the time required, travel time, and any additional services such as packing, storage, or specialty handling. Based on your move, we’ll recommend either hourly or flat-rate pricing.
✓Long-Distance Moves – We provide binding estimates based on your inventory, the distance, logistics, and any additional services you request.

Do you provide moving supplies and equipment?

Yes. Every Poseidon Moving truck arrives fully stocked with the supplies and equipment your move may need.

✓Heavy-duty moving pads, stretch wrap, and tape
✓Dollies, hand trucks, straps, and floor protection
✓Basic tools for disassembly and reassembly

If you’re not fully packed by moving day, let us know before your move date and we’ll make sure the crew brings the packing supplies you need – boxes, dish packs, wardrobe boxes, bubble wrap, mirror boxes, and TV boxes.
