Moving from Birmingham to Binghamton is a long-distance move of roughly 989 road miles, heading northeast from Alabama to New York.

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 $4,870 to $7,250 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 2 to 5 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 17 h 45 min.

On the Birmingham side there are 395 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (208 of them authorized for interstate work), and 77 around Binghamton (33 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 Binghamton.

Birmingham has a population of about 195,893 and Binghamton about 47,000. Binghamton is the denser city (4,578 people per square mile versus 1,366 in Birmingham), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. New York is a higher-cost state than Alabama, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Birmingham to Binghamton?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,950 to $2,900 for a studio, $2,920 to $4,350 for a one-bedroom, $4,870 to $7,250 for a two-bedroom, $7,790 to $11,600 for a three-bedroom and $10,720 to $15,940 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Binghamton from Birmingham?

About 989 road miles (838 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 17 h 45 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 2 to 5 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 Alabama into New York 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 Birmingham to Binghamton?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,470 to $2,070 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,900 to $2,800. 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 Birmingham–Binghamton corridor.
