Frequently asked questions

How much do movers cost in Alaska?

Local movers in Alaska typically charge $155 to $265 per hour depending on crew size. A two-bedroom local move usually totals $1,280 to $1,910; a 1,000-mile interstate move of the same home runs $5,550 to $8,250.

Do I need a licensed mover for a move within Alaska?

Moves that stay inside Alaska are regulated by the state rather than the FMCSA. Most states require intrastate movers to hold a state permit or registration in addition to a USDOT number; the company cards on each city page show the USDOT number so you can verify it.
