Reverse: Minneapolis → Palm Springs

Minneapolis sits about 1,716 miles northeast of Palm Springs, which makes this an interstate relocation from California to Minnesota that most movers classify as a cross-country move.

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 $7,070 to $10,520 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 5 to 10 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 30 hours (4 driving days).

On the Palm Springs side there are 74 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (33 of them authorized for interstate work), and 1,248 around Minneapolis (529 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 Minneapolis.

Palm Springs has a population of about 45,000 and Minneapolis about 430,324. Minneapolis is the denser city (7,962 people per square mile versus 471 in Palm Springs), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Labor and living costs run lower in Minnesota than in California, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Palm Springs to Minneapolis?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $2,830 to $4,210 for a studio, $4,240 to $6,310 for a one-bedroom, $7,070 to $10,520 for a two-bedroom, $11,320 to $16,840 for a three-bedroom and $15,560 to $23,150 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Minneapolis from Palm Springs?

About 1,716 road miles (1,454 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 30 hours (4 driving days).

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 5 to 10 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.

Does my mover need interstate authority for this move?

Yes. Crossing from California into Minnesota 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.

Is it cheaper to rent a truck or use a container for Palm Springs to Minneapolis?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $2,360 to $3,340 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,550 to $3,750. 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 Palm Springs–Minneapolis corridor.
