About 19 road miles heading northeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $1,230–$1,840, delivery in 0–1 days, 447 carriers on the Bridgeport side and 242 in New Haven.
The route from Bridgeport, CT to New Haven, CT covers roughly 19 miles by road, a northeast-bound trip that falls into the local move category for pricing purposes.
Because the two cities are close together, most companies quote this move by the hour: a crew of two to four movers plus a truck, with the drive of about 36 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $1,230 and $1,840, before packing or storage.
On the Bridgeport side there are 447 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (230 of them authorized for interstate work), and 242 around New Haven (131 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 New Haven.
Bridgeport has a population of about 152,273 and New Haven about 138,774. The two cities have comparable density (9,233 and 7,167 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends.

For a move this short, loading and delivery normally happen on the same day. Most crews finish a two-bedroom home in 5 to 8 hours plus the drive.
No. Because both Bridgeport and New Haven are in Connecticut, 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 $170 to $240 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,040 to $1,520. 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 Bridgeport–New Haven corridor.
