Reverse: Great Falls → Annapolis

Moving from Annapolis to Great Falls is a cross-country move of roughly 2,160 road miles, heading northwest from Maryland to Montana.

At this distance carriers price by shipment weight and mileage rather than by the hour. A two-bedroom home (around 5,000 lb of goods) typically costs $7,250 to $10,790 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 5 to 10 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 37 hours (5 driving days).

On the Annapolis side there are 199 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (100 of them authorized for interstate work), and 28 around Great Falls (21 interstate). For an interstate move you can book from either end; movers near the origin handle loading and are usually the better first call, while a destination-side company can be useful if you need storage or delivery-day help in Great Falls.

Annapolis has a population of about 41,000 and Great Falls about 60,000. Annapolis is considerably denser (5,664 people per square mile versus 2,613), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Labor and living costs run lower in Montana than in Maryland, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Annapolis to Great Falls?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $2,900 to $4,310 for a studio, $4,350 to $6,470 for a one-bedroom, $7,250 to $10,790 for a two-bedroom, $11,600 to $17,260 for a three-bedroom and $15,950 to $23,730 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Great Falls from Annapolis?

About 2,160 road miles (1,830 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 37 hours (5 driving days).

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 5 to 10 days after pickup. Carriers give a spread rather than a fixed date because long-distance trucks carry several shipments; a dedicated truck or expedited service shortens the window for an extra fee.

Does my mover need interstate authority for this move?

Yes. Crossing from Maryland into Montana makes this an interstate move, so the carrier must hold active FMCSA operating authority (an MC number) in addition to its USDOT number. The company cards on this page flag which carriers are authorized for interstate work.

Is it cheaper to rent a truck or use a container for Annapolis to Great Falls?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $2,970 to $4,190 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,950 to $4,340. Both save money versus a full-service crew but you do the loading, and container transit can take longer than a mover's delivery window.

When is the least expensive time to book this move?

Rates are highest in summer and around the last days of any month, when demand peaks. Mid-month, mid-week and winter dates are usually quoted below the standard rate. Booking four to eight weeks ahead gives you the widest choice of carriers on the Annapolis–Great Falls corridor.
