Syracuse, NY → Honolulu, HI · Cross-country move
About 5,687 road miles heading west. Typical two-bedroom cost $15,710–$23,380, delivery in 7–14 days, 195 carriers on the Syracuse side and 167 in Honolulu.
Honolulu sits about 5,687 miles west of Syracuse, which makes this an interstate relocation from New York to Hawaii 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 $15,710 to $23,380 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 7 to 14 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 98 hours (11 driving days).
On the Syracuse side there are 195 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (66 of them authorized for interstate work), and 167 around Honolulu (37 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 Honolulu.
Syracuse has a population of about 144,896 and Honolulu about 341,868. The two cities have comparable density (5,921 and 5,801 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Hawaii is a higher-cost state than New York, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

About 5,687 road miles (4,819 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 98 hours (11 driving days).
Expect a delivery window of 7 to 14 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.
Yes. Crossing from New York into Hawaii 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.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $7,790 to $11,000 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $6,100 to $8,960. 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.
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 Syracuse–Honolulu corridor.
