Moving from Great Falls to Annapolis is a cross-country move of roughly 2,160 road miles, heading east from Montana to Maryland.

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 $7,250 to $10,790 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 5 to 10 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 37 hours (5 driving days).

On the Great Falls side there are 28 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (21 of them authorized for interstate work), and 199 around Annapolis (100 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 Annapolis.

Great Falls has a population of about 60,000 and Annapolis about 41,000. Annapolis is the denser city (5,664 people per square mile versus 2,613 in Great Falls), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Maryland is a higher-cost state than Montana, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

Tips for this move

Expect a delivery spread of one to two weeks; plan temporary housing in Annapolis accordingly.
Compare a full-service van line against a container service; for a small household the container often wins.
Ask about consolidated versus dedicated truck options—dedicated is faster but costs more.
Read the FMCSA 'Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move' booklet the carrier must provide.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Great Falls to Annapolis?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $2,900 to $4,310 for a studio, $4,350 to $6,470 for a one-bedroom, $7,250 to $10,790 for a two-bedroom, $11,600 to $17,260 for a three-bedroom and $15,950 to $23,730 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Annapolis from Great Falls?

About 2,160 road miles (1,830 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 37 hours (5 driving days).

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 5 to 10 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 Montana into Maryland 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 Great Falls to Annapolis?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $2,970 to $4,190 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,950 to $4,340. 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 Great Falls–Annapolis corridor.
