Reverse: Juneau → Hilo

The route from Hilo, HI to Juneau, AK covers roughly 3,379 miles by road, a north-bound trip that falls into the cross-country 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 $11,040 to $16,420 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 7 to 14 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 58 hours (7 driving days).

On the Hilo side there are 19 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (4 of them authorized for interstate work), and 7 around Juneau (1 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 Juneau.

Hilo has a population of about 45,000 and Juneau about 32,000. Hilo is considerably denser (824 people per square mile versus 12), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Labor and living costs run lower in Alaska than in Hawaii, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home. Alaska 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 Hilo to Juneau?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $4,410 to $6,570 for a studio, $6,620 to $9,850 for a one-bedroom, $11,040 to $16,420 for a two-bedroom, $17,660 to $26,270 for a three-bedroom and $24,280 to $36,120 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Juneau from Hilo?

About 3,379 road miles (2,864 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 58 hours (7 driving days).

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 7 to 14 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 Hawaii into Alaska 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 Hilo to Juneau?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $4,670 to $6,600 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $4,040 to $5,930. 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 Hilo–Juneau corridor.
