Rhode Island · 195,310 residents
330 FMCSA-registered movers serving Providence, RI — local hourly rates, long-distance cost tables, a calculator and the routes people take out of the city.
Providence, Rhode Island is home to about 195,310 people across 18.4 square miles, and its moving market is served by 330 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA within roughly 45 miles of downtown.
Local moves inside Providence 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. 253 of the local carriers hold interstate authority, and 181 report operating beyond 100 miles, so long-distance capacity is plentiful.
Providence is a dense city (10,377 people per square mile), which shapes how moves work: parking permits, elevator reservations, narrow streets and walk-ups add time, and many companies quote a shuttle or long-carry fee when a truck cannot park at the door.
Ranges cover a full-service crew (loading, transport, unloading). Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items are extra; the calculator below adds them.
