Nashua, NH → Plymouth, MA · Short-haul move
About 81 road miles heading southeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $1,590–$2,370, delivery in 1–2 days, 112 carriers on the Nashua side and 37 in Plymouth.
The route from Nashua, NH to Plymouth, MA covers roughly 81 miles by road, a southeast-bound trip that falls into the short-haul move category for pricing purposes.
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 6 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $1,590 and $2,370, before packing or storage.
On the Nashua side there are 112 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (83 of them authorized for interstate work), and 37 around Plymouth (21 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 Plymouth.
Nashua has a population of about 92,000 and Plymouth about 65,000. Plymouth is the denser city (27,353 people per square mile versus 2,962 in Nashua), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Massachusetts is a higher-cost state than New Hampshire, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses. Note that Massachusetts does collect a state income tax, unlike New Hampshire, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

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.
Yes. Crossing from New Hampshire into Massachusetts 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.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $230 to $330 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,090 to $1,610. 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 Nashua–Plymouth corridor.
