New York, NY → Yonkers, NY · Local move
About 24 road miles heading north. Typical two-bedroom cost $1,370–$2,040, delivery in 0–1 days, 4,150 carriers on the New York side and 2,152 in Yonkers.
Moving from New York to Yonkers is a local move of roughly 24 road miles, heading north within New York.
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 45 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $1,370 and $2,040, before packing or storage.
On the New York side there are 4,150 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (2,180 of them authorized for interstate work), and 2,152 around Yonkers (1,091 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 Yonkers.
New York has a population of about 8.6 million and Yonkers about 212,603. New York is considerably denser (29,298 people per square mile versus 11,754), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination.

About 24 road miles (20 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 45 min.
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.
No. Because both New York and Yonkers are in New York, 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.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $170 to $250 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,040 to $1,530. 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.
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 New York–Yonkers corridor.
