How much would moving to Idaho from California cost?

I've been living with my sister in California, but she's moving for work. It's too expensive to stay here alone, so I'm debating relocating to another state. How much would moving to Idaho from California cost?

If you’re considering moving to Idaho from California, expect moving costs to fall somewhere between $500 and $8,000. Of course, how much moving to Idaho from California will actually cost will depend on several factors that are unique to your move, like:
  • The distance of your move
  • The size of your move
  • Costs for moving supplies—tape, packing materials, boxes, etc.
  • Whether you’re hiring movers, renting a
    U-Haul
    , or moving everything yourself
  • The number of movers you need
  • How many flights of stairs movers will have to climb—and whether the building has an elevator
  • Whether you’re paying for professional packing/unpacking services
  • Whether you’re moving valuable items that need additional protection
  • Whether movers will need to transport any special items, like pianos or heavy furniture
  • Whether you’re driving or flying yourself to your new home
  • Whether you’re going to
    ship a vehicle
    instead of driving it
To get a better idea of how much your California to Idaho move will cost, list what supplies and services you’ll need, then request estimates from reputable movers.
