Reverse: Auburn → Montgomery

Auburn sits about 57 miles east of Montgomery, so this is an in-state move 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 1 h 41 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $1,150 and $1,720, before packing or storage.

On the Montgomery side there are 172 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (94 of them authorized for interstate work), and 77 around Auburn (40 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 Auburn.

Montgomery has a population of about 195,300 and Auburn about 80,000. The two cities have comparable density (1,255 and 1,219 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Montgomery to Auburn?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $640 to $950 for a studio, $730 to $1,090 for a one-bedroom, $1,150 to $1,720 for a two-bedroom, $1,760 to $2,620 for a three-bedroom and $2,590 to $3,860 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Auburn from Montgomery?

About 57 road miles (48 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 1 h 41 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 Montgomery and Auburn are in Alabama, 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 Montgomery to Auburn?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $210 to $290 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,070 to $1,570. 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 Montgomery–Auburn corridor.
