Omaha, NE → Garden City, KS · Regional long-distance move
About 403 road miles heading southwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $2,850–$4,240, delivery in 1–3 days, 318 carriers on the Omaha side and 19 in Garden City.
Moving from Omaha to Garden City is a regional long-distance move of roughly 403 road miles, heading southwest from Nebraska to Kansas.
At this distance carriers price by shipment weight and mileage rather than by the hour. A two-bedroom home (around 5,000 lb of goods) typically costs $2,850 to $4,240 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 3 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 7 h 39 min.
On the Omaha side there are 318 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (200 of them authorized for interstate work), and 19 around Garden City (13 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 Garden City.
Omaha has a population of about 488,797 and Garden City about 28,000. Omaha is considerably denser (3,433 people per square mile versus 2,557), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination.

About 403 road miles (342 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 7 h 39 min.
Expect a delivery window of 1 to 3 days after pickup. Carriers give a spread rather than a fixed date because long-distance trucks carry several shipments; a dedicated truck or expedited service shortens the window for an extra fee.
Yes. Crossing from Nebraska into Kansas 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 $560 to $800 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,380 to $2,030. 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 Omaha–Garden City corridor.
