Reverse: Billings → Great Falls

The route from Great Falls, MT to Billings, MT covers roughly 208 miles by road, a southeast-bound trip that falls into the regional long-distance move category for pricing purposes.

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 $2,330 to $3,470 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 17 min.

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 33 around Billings (28 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 Billings.

Great Falls has a population of about 60,000 and Billings about 121,239. The two cities have comparable density (2,613 and 2,614 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends.

Frequently asked questions

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

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,230 to $1,830 for a studio, $1,400 to $2,080 for a one-bedroom, $2,330 to $3,470 for a two-bedroom, $3,730 to $5,540 for a three-bedroom and $5,120 to $7,620 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Billings from Great Falls?

About 208 road miles (176 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 4 h 17 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

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.

Do I need an interstate-licensed mover for an in-state move?

No. Because both Great Falls and Billings are in Montana, 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.

Is it cheaper to rent a truck or use a container for Great Falls to Billings?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $360 to $510 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,210 to $1,770. 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–Billings corridor.
