Reverse: Portsmouth → Evansville

Portsmouth sits about 1,115 miles northeast of Evansville, which makes this an interstate relocation from Indiana to New Hampshire that most movers classify as a long-distance move.

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 $4,960 to $7,380 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 3 to 7 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 19 h 55 min.

On the Evansville side there are 120 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (81 of them authorized for interstate work), and 51 around Portsmouth (38 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 Portsmouth.

Evansville has a population of about 116,176 and Portsmouth about 23,000. Evansville is considerably denser (2,475 people per square mile versus 1,402), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. New Hampshire is a higher-cost state than Indiana, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses. New Hampshire levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

Tips for this move

Ask how the delivery window is calculated and what the delay compensation is.
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 Portsmouth if a 53-foot trailer cannot reach your street.
Keep vehicle titles, passports and prescriptions with you; movers cannot carry some items at all.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Evansville to Portsmouth?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,980 to $2,950 for a studio, $2,970 to $4,430 for a one-bedroom, $4,960 to $7,380 for a two-bedroom, $7,930 to $11,800 for a three-bedroom and $10,910 to $16,230 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Portsmouth from Evansville?

About 1,115 road miles (945 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 19 h 55 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 3 to 7 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 Indiana 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.

Is it cheaper to rent a truck or use a container for Evansville to Portsmouth?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,600 to $2,250 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,020 to $2,960. 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 Evansville–Portsmouth corridor.
