Reverse: Reno → Great Falls

Moving from Great Falls to Reno is a long-distance move of roughly 821 road miles, heading southwest from Montana to Nevada.

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 $4,280 to $6,370 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 2 to 5 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 14 h 51 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 81 around Reno (55 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 Reno.

Great Falls has a population of about 60,000 and Reno about 283,621. The two cities have comparable density (2,613 and 2,428 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Nevada levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

Frequently asked questions

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

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,710 to $2,550 for a studio, $2,570 to $3,820 for a one-bedroom, $4,280 to $6,370 for a two-bedroom, $6,850 to $10,200 for a three-bedroom and $9,420 to $14,020 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Reno from Great Falls?

About 821 road miles (696 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 14 h 51 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 2 to 5 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 Nevada 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 Reno?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,140 to $1,610 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,750 to $2,580. 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–Reno corridor.
