Bentonville, AR → Hot Springs, AR · Regional long-distance move
About 171 road miles heading southeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $1,980–$2,940, delivery in 1–2 days, 57 carriers on the Bentonville side and 27 in Hot Springs.
Hot Springs sits about 171 miles southeast of Bentonville, so this is an in-state move that most movers classify as a regional long-distance move.
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 $1,980 to $2,940 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 2 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 3 h 39 min.
On the Bentonville side there are 57 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (43 of them authorized for interstate work), and 27 around Hot Springs (14 interstate). For an in-state 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 Hot Springs.
Bentonville has a population of about 60,000 and Hot Springs about 38,000. Bentonville is considerably denser (1,528 people per square mile versus 1,010), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination.

About 171 road miles (145 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 3 h 39 min.
Expect a delivery window of 1 to 2 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.
No. Because both Bentonville and Hot Springs are in Arkansas, this is an intrastate move regulated by the state rather than the FMCSA. Still, choosing a carrier with an active USDOT number is the easiest way to confirm the company is a registered motor carrier with insurance on file.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $330 to $460 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,170 to $1,720. 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.
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 Bentonville–Hot Springs corridor.
