Moving over 300mi is no small feat... and neither is the cost!

It's a tough question because every move is unique.
That's why I decided to analyse the 200 moves carried out by local movers working on Yoojo.
The result?
A detailed breakdown to give you a clearer idea of average prices.
Average cost for a 300 mi move in the UK
Let's start with a straightforward statistic: I've calculated an "all-inclusive" average price based on several reliable sources.
I gathered all the available data online, consulted quotes from well-known moving companies, and compiled our own statistics from 200 moves covering from 250 to 375 miles through our platform.

Obviously, a general statistic won't give you precise information.
What you really need is the specific cost that considers the different truck sizes.
To ensure consistency in our comparison, we focused on economy moving rates.
This type of service represents the majority of requests we receive on Yoojo.
Price breakdown based on truck volume
This is the most exciting part of the guide!
Distance is a crucial factor in determining the cost of your move.
However, I’ve gone further by giving you stats based on the truck volume for a 300 mi journey.
See the table below:
| Volume | Average cost for a standard move | Average price on Yoojo |
|---|---|---|
| Move of 10m3 or less | £671 | £363 |
| Move of 20m3 | £866 | £439 |
| Move of 30m3 | £1,056 | £522 |
| Move of 40m3 | £1500 | £742 |
| Move of 50m3 | £1950 | £1038 |

On Yoojo, the movers set their own prices. You can request help for just one hour and only pay for that time!
With hundreds of movers available nationwide, you can take advantage of competition to get the best prices.
Many jobs are done between individuals, which significantly lowers the costs.
Do moving prices change depending on the time of year?
As you might already know, traditional moving prices fluctuate, rising 15-20% in summer and falling by up to 15% in winter.
I decided to examine whether this price variation exists on Yoojo.
Here's what I found:
| Month | Price variation | Average price on Yoojo |
|---|---|---|
| January | -5% | £584.63 |
| February | -5% | £584.63 |
| March | -3% | £596.94 |
| April | -2% | £603.09 |
| May | +1% | £621.55 |
| June | +1% | £621.55 |
| July | +8% | £664.63 |
| August | +7% | £658.48 |
| September | +2% | £627.71 |
| October | -3% | £596.94 |
| November | -3% | £596.94 |
| December | -3% | £596.94 |
As you can see, prices on Yoojo are fairly constant throughout the year.
This is understandable, as with hundreds of local movers available, you’ll always find someone to help, regardless of the time of year.
Examples of 300mi moves paid by Yoojo clients
To wrap up, here are a few examples of 300mi move listings posted on Yoojo.
I've selected clients specifically looking for movers for a 250-375mi distance.
You'll find below:
- The service requested
- Total price paid
- The space to be moved
Example 1: Finding muscles and a van
💶 Total price paid: £329
🚛 Distance: 303mi
This is a classic example often seen on Yoojo.
Our client needed someone to load the van, drive the 300mi, and unload it at the other end... Simple and clear!
For this 303mi move, she only paid £329!
Example 2: Moving across the country
💶 Total price paid: £443
🚛 Distance: 347mi
This next example is a move of 347mi.
As you can see, the client didn’t include many details in the listing.
But don’t worry! On Yoojo, you can chat with movers for free before booking anyone.
However, I recommend adding as much information as possible upfront to avoid answering too many questions from interested movers.
Example 3: A big move to Thornaby
💶 Total price paid: £806
🚛 Distance: 374mi
This client needed to move a large 538 sqft space.
For such a big job, several trucks and movers are often required.
That’s why the price is higher at £806!
Example 4: A move requiring 3 movers
💶 Total price paid: £1271
🚛 Distance: 301mi
This was another large move: 301mi, 349 sqft of space, and three movers!
For a job this size, I definitely recommend hiring multiple movers to make things easier.
In the end, the client paid £1271, or about £423 per mover—not as expensive as you might think!
