Reverse: Detroit → Savannah

The route from Savannah, GA to Detroit, MI covers roughly 854 miles by road, a north-bound trip that falls into the long-distance move category for pricing purposes.

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 $4,150 to $6,180 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 2 to 5 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 15 h 25 min.

On the Savannah side there are 285 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (170 of them authorized for interstate work), and 1,435 around Detroit (656 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 Detroit.

Savannah has a population of about 149,440 and Detroit about 649,095. Detroit is the denser city (4,608 people per square mile versus 1,384 in Savannah), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Savannah to Detroit?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,660 to $2,470 for a studio, $2,490 to $3,710 for a one-bedroom, $4,150 to $6,180 for a two-bedroom, $6,650 to $9,890 for a three-bedroom and $9,140 to $13,600 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Detroit from Savannah?

About 854 road miles (724 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 15 h 25 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 2 to 5 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 Georgia into Michigan 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 Savannah to Detroit?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,180 to $1,660 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,780 to $2,620. 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.

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 Savannah–Detroit corridor.
