Moving from Savannah to Portland is a long-distance move of roughly 1,181 road miles, heading northeast from Georgia to Maine.

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 $5,070 to $7,550 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 3 to 7 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 21 h 4 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 113 around Portland (63 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 Portland.

Savannah has a population of about 149,440 and Portland about 69,000. Portland is the denser city (3,176 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 Portland?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $2,030 to $3,020 for a studio, $3,040 to $4,530 for a one-bedroom, $5,070 to $7,550 for a two-bedroom, $8,110 to $12,070 for a three-bedroom and $11,160 to $16,600 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Portland from Savannah?

About 1,181 road miles (1,001 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 21 h 4 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 3 to 7 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 Maine 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 Portland?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,660 to $2,350 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,070 to $3,050. 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–Portland corridor.
