Reverse: Portsmouth → Gulfport

Portsmouth sits about 1,572 miles northeast of Gulfport, which makes this an interstate relocation from Mississippi to New Hampshire that most movers classify as a cross-country 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 $5,860 to $8,710 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 27 hours (4 driving days).

On the Gulfport side there are 66 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (51 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.

Gulfport has a population of about 72,000 and Portsmouth about 23,000. The two cities have comparable density (1,311 and 1,402 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. New Hampshire is a higher-cost state than Mississippi, 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.

Frequently asked questions

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

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $2,340 to $3,490 for a studio, $3,510 to $5,230 for a one-bedroom, $5,860 to $8,710 for a two-bedroom, $9,370 to $13,940 for a three-bedroom and $12,890 to $19,170 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Portsmouth from Gulfport?

About 1,572 road miles (1,332 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 27 hours (4 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 Mississippi 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 Gulfport to Portsmouth?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $2,220 to $3,130 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,420 to $3,560. 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 Gulfport–Portsmouth corridor.
