Coeur d'Alene, ID → Boise, ID · Regional long-distance move
About 336 road miles heading south. Typical two-bedroom cost $2,790–$4,150, delivery in 1–3 days, 56 carriers on the Coeur d'Alene side and 168 in Boise.
Moving from Coeur d'Alene to Boise is a regional long-distance move of roughly 336 road miles, heading south within Idaho.
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 $2,790 to $4,150 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 3 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 6 h 30 min.
On the Coeur d'Alene side there are 56 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (45 of them authorized for interstate work), and 168 around Boise (127 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 Boise.
Coeur d'Alene has a population of about 58,000 and Boise about 238,429. The two cities have comparable density (3,390 and 2,806 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends.

About 336 road miles (285 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 6 h 30 min.
Expect a delivery window of 1 to 3 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 Coeur d'Alene and Boise are in Idaho, 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 $500 to $700 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,320 to $1,940. 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 Coeur d'Alene–Boise corridor.
