Reverse: Portsmouth → Hyannis

Portsmouth sits about 117 miles north of Hyannis, which makes this an interstate relocation from Massachusetts to New Hampshire that most movers classify as a short-haul move.

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 2 h 43 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $2,280 and $3,390, before packing or storage.

On the Hyannis side there are 65 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (29 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.

Hyannis has a population of about 14,000 and Portsmouth about 23,000. Portsmouth is the denser city (1,402 people per square mile versus 240 in Hyannis), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Labor and living costs run lower in New Hampshire than in Massachusetts, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home. 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 Hyannis to Portsmouth?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,400 to $2,090 for a studio, $1,400 to $2,090 for a one-bedroom, $2,280 to $3,390 for a two-bedroom, $3,650 to $5,430 for a three-bedroom and $5,020 to $7,470 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Portsmouth from Hyannis?

About 117 road miles (99 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 2 h 43 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.

Does my mover need interstate authority for this move?

Yes. Crossing from Massachusetts 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 Hyannis to Portsmouth?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $270 to $380 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,120 to $1,650. 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 Hyannis–Portsmouth corridor.
