Elizabeth, NJ → Greenwich, CT · Local move
About 46 road miles heading northeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $1,400–$2,080, delivery in 0–1 days, 1,447 carriers on the Elizabeth side and 347 in Greenwich.
Moving from Elizabeth to Greenwich is a local move of roughly 46 road miles, heading northeast from New Jersey to Connecticut.
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 26 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $1,400 and $2,080, before packing or storage.
On the Elizabeth side there are 1,447 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (881 of them authorized for interstate work), and 347 around Greenwich (159 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 Greenwich.
Elizabeth has a population of about 141,675 and Greenwich about 63,000. The two cities have comparable density (11,162 and 13,118 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends.

About 46 road miles (39 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 1 h 26 min.
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 New Jersey into Connecticut 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 $200 to $280 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,060 to $1,560. 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 Elizabeth–Greenwich corridor.
