A move from a Downtown loft has different loading conditions than a move from a house in Kirkwood, Chesterfield, Webster Groves, or St. Charles. Stairs, elevators, alleys, loading docks, narrow streets, parking, and the amount of furniture all affect how the move needs to be planned before the truck arrives.
Coastal Moving Services focuses on long distance moves. We arrange interstate household, commercial, packing, specialty-item, and storage-in-transit services through licensed moving companies that serve St. Louis and the surrounding metro area. If your move stays within St. Louis or nearby Missouri communities, we have listed five local moving companies farther down this page that you can research directly.
Based on completed moves handled through Coastal, interstate moves commonly fell between $2,521 and $5,840, with a middle price of $3,553. Shipment size makes a large difference, so the pricing sections below also break costs down by cubic footage and destination.
Household moves from St. Louis to another state can include loading, transportation, delivery, furniture disassembly and reassembly, and additional services requested before booking.
We coordinate interstate moves from St. Louis throughout the contiguous United States. The moving company assigned to your shipment must have active federal authority to transport household goods across state lines.
Office and business moves leaving the St. Louis area can include desks, file systems, electronics, equipment, packing, and coordinated delivery at the new location.
Full or partial packing can be added to a long distance move. Packing labor, boxes, materials, and specialty crating should be included before the written estimate is finalized.
If your new home is not ready when your St. Louis pickup takes place, storage-in-transit can be included in the moving plan before final delivery.
The amount of space your belongings take in the truck is one of the biggest factors in a long distance moving price. These ranges come from completed Coastal Moving Services moves. Use your approximate shipment size as a starting point, then compare the route, packing, access, and other services included in your move.
| Estimated Volume | Typical Price Range | Typical Midpoint |
|---|---|---|
| Under 400 cu ft | $2,048 – $2,862 | $2,441 |
| 400 – 799 cu ft | $2,886 – $4,917 | $3,839 |
| 800 – 1,199 cu ft | $5,216 – $8,041 | $6,641 |
| 1,200 – 1,599 cu ft | $7,561 – $11,362 | $9,452 |
| 1,600+ cu ft | $10,860 – $16,967 | $13,840 |
A typical shipment in our records is about 486 cubic feet. Two homes with the same number of bedrooms can contain very different amounts of furniture and boxes, which is why a complete inventory is more useful than bedroom count alone.
Two St. Louis households with the same number of bedrooms can still have very different moving prices. Shipment size, distance, stairs, parking, packing, storage, specialty items, and the move date all affect the amount of work involved.
The amount of furniture, boxes, appliances, garage contents, outdoor items, and specialty pieces determines how many movers are needed and how long loading will take. A lightly furnished two-bedroom apartment may cost less than a densely furnished one-bedroom home.
Loading and unloading time depends on shipment size, stairs, elevators, walking distance, loading access, and how many people are needed to handle the inventory safely.
Apartments, condominiums, older homes, commercial properties, and residences with distant parking can increase labor time. Stairs, long carries, narrow driveways, detached garages, or a long walk between the truck and entrance can raise the final cost.
Limited curb space, loading-zone rules, garage height restrictions, narrow streets, alleys, and difficult driveways can affect truck size and staging. When the truck cannot park close to the entrance, additional labor or shuttle service may be required.
Summer weekends, end-of-month dates, school-year transitions, and apartment lease-turnover dates usually create the highest demand. Moving on a weekday or mid-month date can give you more scheduling options.
Full packing, partial packing, custom crating, storage-in-transit, piano handling, oversized furniture, artwork, antiques, and exercise equipment can all increase the quote. These services should be listed clearly in the written quote.
Receive a written quote based on your inventory, route, access, packing needs, and move date.
Two long distance quotes can look very different because they may include different inventories, services, access conditions, and estimate terms. Check the inventory, packing, storage, stairs, long carries, shuttle service, valuation coverage, and payment terms before you compare the final numbers.
Read the inventory and services listed on the estimate. Packing, storage, stairs, long carries, shuttle service, bulky items, and valuation choices should be clear before you approve the move.
Adding furniture, boxes, appliances, storage-unit contents, or specialty items after the quote can change labor time, truck space, shipment weight, and the final charge. An accurate inventory produces a more reliable quote.
Elevator delays, limited parking, long hallways, stairs, gated communities, narrow streets, and distant loading areas can extend the move. Apartment, condominium, managed-building, and commercial moves should be planned with property management before move day.
End-of-month weekends, summer dates, and major lease-turnover periods fill first. Booking earlier gives you more choices for pickup dates and moving companies that serve your route.
Binding, non-binding, and not-to-exceed estimates work differently. Review the quote type, inventory, listed services, exclusions, and payment terms before signing or paying a deposit.
Coastal Moving Services arranges the interstate move. The assigned moving company physically loads, transports, and delivers the household goods. Review both companies on your paperwork before pickup.
Our Moving Cost Statistics 2026 page uses prices from completed moves handled through Coastal Moving Services. Interstate moves in those records commonly fell between $2,521 and $5,840, with a middle price of $3,553.
How much you are moving still matters most. A small shipment can fall below that range, while a large household with packing, storage, stairs, or difficult truck access can cost considerably more.
| Move Detail | Common Price Range | Middle Price |
|---|---|---|
| Interstate moves | $2,521 – $5,840 | $3,553 |
| Customer packed | $2,349 – $5,048 | $3,142 |
| Packing service included | $2,998 – $7,414 | $4,634 |
| Moves ending in Illinois | $2,223 – $4,474 | $2,916 |
| Moves ending in Tennessee | $2,610 – $6,849 | $3,950 |

Different rules apply depending on whether your move stays in Missouri or crosses a state line. Missouri regulates household-goods movers that operate within the state, while interstate movers and brokers are regulated federally.
MoDOT Motor Carrier Services says household-goods moving companies need operating authority before moving customers in or between Missouri municipalities and commercial zones. If you are hiring a local St. Louis mover, check the state's authorized transporter list before booking.
A moving company transporting household goods from St. Louis to another state must have active FMCSA authority for interstate household-goods transportation and a USDOT number.
Interstate moving brokers must be registered with FMCSA and may arrange moves only with interstate moving companies registered with the agency. Coastal Moving Services is registered as a broker under USDOT# 4090919 and MC# 1558401.
The estimate should reflect the household goods and services you are asking the moving company to handle. If furniture, boxes, packing, storage, or access conditions change, review the estimate again before pickup.
Interstate moving companies must provide information about valuation choices for your shipment. Ask how Released Value and Full Value Protection work before selecting the option on your moving paperwork.
Use MoDOT's household-goods resources for Missouri-only movers. For interstate moves, FMCSA's Protect Your Move tools let you check the company name, USDOT number, operating status, and complaint information.
Truck access can change how a St. Louis pickup is handled. A crew working from a loading dock, metered street, alley, parking garage, or distant curb may need more time and different equipment than a crew that can park beside a ground-floor entrance.
Before move day, confirm the legal truck-staging location, walking distance, stair count, elevator availability, garage clearance, move-hour restrictions, and any property-management requirements. Share those details when you request your quote.
Downtown moves may involve one-way streets, loading docks, parking garages, metered curb space, event traffic, service entrances, and limited truck staging. Confirm loading access, elevator use, and building move hours before the crew arrives.
High-rise apartments, condominiums, office buildings, and managed properties may require elevator reservations, loading appointments, designated entrances, Certificates of Insurance, and restricted move windows.
Student housing and nearby apartments experience concentrated move-in and move-out demand. Narrow streets, limited loading space, lease-turnover dates, and campus-area traffic can affect crew availability and loading time.
St. Louis moves often use these major corridors along with I-255 and Mississippi River bridge approaches. Construction, commuter traffic, sporting events, and downtown congestion can affect travel time and scheduling.
Tell us about stairs, elevators, parking, loading docks, building rules, and pickup access so the moving company can arrive prepared.
