Reverse: Nashua → Lowell

Nashua sits about 14 miles northwest of Lowell, which makes this an interstate relocation from Massachusetts to New Hampshire that most movers classify as a local 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 26 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $1,230 and $1,830, before packing or storage.

On the Lowell side there are 215 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (152 of them authorized for interstate work), and 112 around Nashua (83 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 Nashua.

Lowell has a population of about 119,971 and Nashua about 92,000. Lowell is considerably denser (8,497 people per square mile versus 2,962), 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 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 Lowell to Nashua?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $630 to $940 for a studio, $750 to $1,120 for a one-bedroom, $1,230 to $1,830 for a two-bedroom, $1,930 to $2,880 for a three-bedroom and $2,930 to $4,360 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Nashua from Lowell?

About 14 road miles (11 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 26 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

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.

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 Lowell to Nashua?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $160 to $230 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,030 to $1,520. 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 Lowell–Nashua corridor.
