Newport, RI → Springfield, MA · Short-haul move
About 91 road miles heading northwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $1,650–$2,450, delivery in 1–2 days, 30 carriers on the Newport side and 213 in Springfield.
Moving from Newport to Springfield is a short-haul move of roughly 91 road miles, heading northwest from Rhode Island to 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 2 h 16 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $1,650 and $2,450, before packing or storage.
On the Newport side there are 30 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (17 of them authorized for interstate work), and 213 around Springfield (155 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 Springfield.
Newport has a population of about 25,000 and Springfield about 154,702. Springfield is the denser city (4,888 people per square mile versus 3,287 in Newport), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Massachusetts is a higher-cost state than Rhode Island, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

About 91 road miles (77 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 2 h 16 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.
Yes. Crossing from Rhode Island 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 $240 to $340 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,100 to $1,620. 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 Newport–Springfield corridor.
