Greenwich, CT → Jersey City, NJ · Local move
About 37 road miles heading southwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $1,350–$2,010, delivery in 0–1 days, 347 carriers on the Greenwich side and 2,933 in Jersey City.
Moving from Greenwich to Jersey City is a local move of roughly 37 road miles, heading southwest from Connecticut to New Jersey.
Because the two cities are close together, most companies quote this move by the hour: a crew of two to four movers plus a truck, with the drive of about 1 h 9 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $1,350 and $2,010, before packing or storage.
On the Greenwich side there are 347 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (159 of them authorized for interstate work), and 2,933 around Jersey City (1,570 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 Jersey City.
Greenwich has a population of about 63,000 and Jersey City about 302,013. Jersey City is the denser city (19,894 people per square mile versus 13,118 in Greenwich), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.

About 37 road miles (32 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 1 h 9 min.
For a move this short, loading and delivery normally happen on the same day. Most crews finish a two-bedroom home in 5 to 8 hours plus the drive.
Yes. Crossing from Connecticut into New Jersey 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 $190 to $260 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,050 to $1,550. 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 Greenwich–Jersey City corridor.
