Bridgeport, CT → New York, NY · Short-haul move
About 63 road miles heading southwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $1,540–$2,280, delivery in 1–2 days, 447 carriers on the Bridgeport side and 4,150 in New York.
New York sits about 63 miles southwest of Bridgeport, which makes this an interstate relocation from Connecticut to New York that most movers classify as a short-haul move.
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 1 h 47 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $1,540 and $2,280, 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 4,150 around New York (2,180 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 New York.
Bridgeport has a population of about 152,273 and New York about 8.6 million. New York is the denser city (29,298 people per square mile versus 9,233 in Bridgeport), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. New York is a higher-cost state than Connecticut, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

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.
Yes. Crossing from Connecticut 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.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $210 to $300 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,080 to $1,580. 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 York corridor.
