Reverse: Bloomington → Burlington

The route from Burlington, VT to Bloomington, IN covers roughly 915 miles by road, a southwest-bound trip that falls into the long-distance move category for pricing purposes.

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 $4,390 to $6,530 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 16 h 29 min.

On the Burlington side there are 73 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (39 of them authorized for interstate work), and 56 around Bloomington (32 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 Bloomington.

Burlington has a population of about 45,000 and Bloomington about 80,000. The two cities have comparable density (4,343 and 3,405 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Labor and living costs run lower in Indiana than in Vermont, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home.

Tips for this move

Declutter first: long-haul pricing is by weight, so every hundred pounds you sell or donate saves money.
Check whether a shuttle truck is needed in Bloomington if a 53-foot trailer cannot reach your street.
Keep vehicle titles, passports and prescriptions with you; movers cannot carry some items at all.
Insist on a binding or binding-not-to-exceed estimate after an in-home or video survey.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Burlington to Bloomington?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,760 to $2,610 for a studio, $2,630 to $3,920 for a one-bedroom, $4,390 to $6,530 for a two-bedroom, $7,020 to $10,450 for a three-bedroom and $9,660 to $14,370 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Bloomington from Burlington?

About 915 road miles (775 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 16 h 29 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 Vermont into Indiana 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 Burlington to Bloomington?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,390 to $1,960 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,840 to $2,700. 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 Burlington–Bloomington corridor.
