Elizabeth, NJ → Nashua, NH · Regional long-distance move
About 236 road miles heading northeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $2,710–$4,030, delivery in 1–2 days, 1,447 carriers on the Elizabeth side and 112 in Nashua.
Moving from Elizabeth to Nashua is a regional long-distance move of roughly 236 road miles, heading northeast from New Jersey to New Hampshire.
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 $2,710 to $4,030 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 2 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 4 h 46 min.
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 112 around Nashua (83 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 Nashua.
Elizabeth has a population of about 141,675 and Nashua about 92,000. Elizabeth is considerably denser (11,162 people per square mile versus 2,962), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. New Hampshire levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

About 236 road miles (200 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 4 h 46 min.
Expect a delivery window of 1 to 2 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.
Yes. Crossing from New Jersey into New Hampshire 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 $390 to $550 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,230 to $1,810. 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–Nashua corridor.
