Moving from Lowell to Quincy is a local move of roughly 36 road miles, heading southeast within Massachusetts.

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 8 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $1,420 and $2,110, 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 456 around Quincy (277 interstate). For an in-state 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 Quincy.

Lowell has a population of about 119,971 and Quincy about 103,173. Lowell is considerably denser (8,497 people per square mile versus 6,123), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Lowell to Quincy?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $760 to $1,130 for a studio, $890 to $1,320 for a one-bedroom, $1,420 to $2,110 for a two-bedroom, $2,190 to $3,260 for a three-bedroom and $3,270 to $4,870 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Quincy from Lowell?

About 36 road miles (31 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 1 h 8 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.

Do I need an interstate-licensed mover for an in-state move?

No. Because both Lowell and Quincy are in Massachusetts, this is an intrastate move regulated by the state rather than the FMCSA. Still, choosing a carrier with an active USDOT number is the easiest way to confirm the company is a registered motor carrier with insurance on file.

Is it cheaper to rent a truck or use a container for Lowell to Quincy?

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.

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–Quincy corridor.
