Moving to Oregon: 2026 costs & movers

Cost of movers in Oregon: hourly crew rates

Oregon runs modestly above the national average on tight labor and older housing. Portland's Craftsman stock has front steps, basements, and narrow driveways, and the inner neighborhoods are street-parking only. The weather splits the year cleanly: the dry summer is peak, and the rainy months are where the discounts live.

A local move is billed by the hour, so the crew rate is the number that decides the bill. These are 2026 Oregon rates with the truck, fuel, dollies, and pads included:

Almost every company also bills a 2–4 hour minimum plus travel time, so a very small job rarely lands below the studio row in the next table. The hourly rates guide covers minimums, travel-time billing, and labor-only crews in full.

Oregon local move cost by home size

Rates run modestly above the national average; the dry summer (June–September) is peak, while the rainy off-season is where the best pricing lives.

How much does it cost to move to Oregon from out of state?

An interstate move is priced on a different basis than a local one. Instead of crew hours at a local rate, you are paying for the weight of your household moved a given distance, and that per-mile carrier cost is national, not Oregon-specific. The crew hours are also split between an origin market and a Oregon destination market, so we do not scale these figures by Oregon's local cost index, doing so would overstate how much the destination changes the price.

Here are the 2 interstate lanes into Oregon we publish rates for, priced at each corridor's actual road distance for a 3-bedroom household:

Smaller households scale down from here: a 1-bedroom runs roughly half a 3-bedroom at the same distance, and a studio about a third. Moving in peak season (May–September) or in the last five days of a month adds 15–24% on top. The long-distance guide has the full matrix by home size and distance.
