Reverse: Columbus → Springfield

Columbus sits about 665 miles west of Springfield, which makes this an interstate relocation from Massachusetts to Ohio that most movers classify as a long-distance 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 $4,080 to $6,060 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 12 h 10 min.

On the Springfield side there are 213 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (155 of them authorized for interstate work), and 854 around Columbus (547 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 Columbus.

Springfield has a population of about 154,702 and Columbus about 938,396. The two cities have comparable density (4,888 and 4,117 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Labor and living costs run lower in Ohio than in Massachusetts, 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 Springfield to Columbus?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,630 to $2,430 for a studio, $2,450 to $3,640 for a one-bedroom, $4,080 to $6,060 for a two-bedroom, $6,520 to $9,700 for a three-bedroom and $8,970 to $13,340 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Columbus from Springfield?

About 665 road miles (563 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 12 h 10 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 Massachusetts into Ohio 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 Springfield to Columbus?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $980 to $1,390 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,610 to $2,370. 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 Springfield–Columbus corridor.
