Calculating the cost of a 150-mile move is particularly complex because every household is unique!
That’s why I’ve decided to analyse all the jobs done by the hundreds of local movers all over the UK who offer their services on Yoojo every day... and break down the prices they offer.
This way, you’ll have a clearer picture with comparison tables and real price examples to help you estimate the cost of your move as accurately as possible.
The average price for a 150-mile move in the UK
As you know, the price of your move depends on two main factors:
- the volume
- the distance
But for those of you looking for a quick estimate, I’ve done the research for you.
We’ve compiled statistics from various online sources, examined quotes from well-established traditional moving companies, and analysed our own data from nearly 190 moves of 150 miles completed via our platform.
Here are the results of our average price study:

As you can imagine, a general statistic like this isn’t precise enough. What you really need is the price for an approximate distance of 150 miles, but for different truck volumes.
To ensure consistency in our comparison figures, we focused on economy moving rates... simply because this is the majority of services requested on our platform.

Let’s move on to some examples of listings our clients have posted on our platform:
Examples of prices paid for a 150-mile move in the UK
To wrap up this price guide, we’ve compiled a few listings posted on Yoojo.
Here, you’ll find:
- The service requested
- The total price paid
- The volume to be moved
Example 1: Moving 3m3 to Huddersfield
💶 Total price paid: £270
🚛 Distance: 164 miles
We’re starting with a simple listing, as there wasn’t much to move.
Here, the price (£270) mainly covers the cost of the van rental, fuel, and the time the provider spends with the client (4.5 hours)... because yes, the price you book your provider for is the total price you’ll pay for the job.
You don't pay hourly, you decide a price beforehand.
Example 2: Moving from Cambridge to Eastleigh
💶 Total price paid: £302
🚛 Distance: 178 miles
This example is interesting because the volume to be moved is the same as the previous listing, and the distance is just above the previous example.
Yet, the price is way higher!
That’s normal, as our client is moving from Cambridge, where rates are always higher than in rural areas!
Example 3: Moving 123 from Southampton to Hornchurch
💶 Total price paid: £402
🚛 Distance: 123 miles
We’re getting into more serious territory with a move that required a 12m3 van!
What’s interesting here is that the client also asked the provider to drive them back to the starting point after the move (yes you can ask that!!!).
In the end, this client from Southampton only paid £402 for the service.
Example 4: A fully rural 155-mile move
💶 Total price paid: £495
🚛 Distance: 155 miles
Now we’re talking serious business, as this move required a van of over 20m3.
The client booked two providers at the same time: one with a van and the other just for helping with the heavy lifting.
In the end, for less than £500, she got a great deal for a 155-mile move... that’s the power of the Yoojo community.
Example 5: A big 50m3 move to a 145-mile distance
💶 Total price paid: £630
🚛 Distance: 145-miles
Let’s finish with a big 50m3 move!
No detailed information from the client here, as it was a pretty standard move.
But that’s not a problem at all, as you can chat in your listing with movers who are interested... and this is free before you book!
