51 FMCSA-registered movers serving Portsmouth, NH — local hourly rates, long-distance cost tables, a calculator and the routes people take out of the city.
With a population of about 23,000 and 51 FMCSA-registered household-goods carriers based in and around the city, Portsmouth has a compact moving market for both local and long-distance work.
Local moves inside Portsmouth are quoted by the hour: expect around $140 per hour for two movers and a truck, $190 for three, and $240 for a four-person crew, usually with a two- or three-hour minimum plus a travel fee. 38 of the local carriers hold interstate authority, and 27 report operating beyond 100 miles, so long-distance capacity is reasonable.
Portsmouth is relatively spread out (1,402 people per square mile), so trucks can usually park close to the door and hourly moves tend to run at the lower end of the time ranges below.
