The route from Yonkers, NY to Paterson, NJ covers roughly 18 miles by road, a west-bound trip that falls into the local move category for pricing purposes.

Because the two cities are close together, most companies quote this move by the hour: a crew of two to four movers plus a truck, with the drive of about 34 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $1,300 and $1,930, before packing or storage.

On the Yonkers side there are 2,152 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (1,091 of them authorized for interstate work), and 2,164 around Paterson (1,282 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 Paterson.

Yonkers has a population of about 212,603 and Paterson about 161,793. Paterson is the denser city (19,016 people per square mile versus 11,754 in Yonkers), 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 Yonkers to Paterson?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $670 to $1,000 for a studio, $800 to $1,190 for a one-bedroom, $1,300 to $1,930 for a two-bedroom, $2,040 to $3,030 for a three-bedroom and $3,080 to $4,580 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Paterson from Yonkers?

About 18 road miles (16 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 34 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

For a move this short, loading and delivery normally happen on the same day. Most crews finish a two-bedroom home in 5 to 8 hours plus the drive.

Does my mover need interstate authority for this move?

Yes. Crossing from New York into New Jersey 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 Yonkers to Paterson?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $170 to $240 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,040 to $1,520. 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 Yonkers–Paterson corridor.
