Reverse: Gulfport → Sugar Land

Moving from Sugar Land to Gulfport is a regional long-distance move of roughly 468 road miles, heading east from Texas to Mississippi.

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 $3,040 to $4,520 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 8 h 46 min.

On the Sugar Land side there are 1,180 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (498 of them authorized for interstate work), and 66 around Gulfport (51 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 Gulfport.

Sugar Land has a population of about 107,726 and Gulfport about 72,000. Sugar Land is considerably denser (2,741 people per square mile versus 1,311), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Labor and living costs run lower in Mississippi than in Texas, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home. Note that Mississippi does collect a state income tax, unlike Texas, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Sugar Land to Gulfport?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,220 to $1,810 for a studio, $1,820 to $2,710 for a one-bedroom, $3,040 to $4,520 for a two-bedroom, $4,860 to $7,230 for a three-bedroom and $6,680 to $9,950 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Gulfport from Sugar Land?

About 468 road miles (397 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 8 h 46 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

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.

Does my mover need interstate authority for this move?

Yes. Crossing from Texas into Mississippi 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 Sugar Land to Gulfport?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $780 to $1,100 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,440 to $2,110. 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 Sugar Land–Gulfport corridor.
