Moving Companies in Omaha, NE
Local moves inside Omaha are billed by the hour, while long-distance moves are priced by weight and distance instead. A two-mover crew with a truck typically runs $130 to $170 per hour, and a three-mover crew runs $170 to $230 per hour.
Nearly every company bills at least a 2-hour minimum, and tacks on either a one-time fuel/travel charge or a $100 to $200 deposit before the job starts. For a standard 1- to 2-bedroom home, total local labor and transport usually lands between $400 and $1,200. Moving out of state from Omaha scales much higher, from roughly $2,000 up to $11,000 or more depending on distance and load size.
Because pricing swings widely by crew size, season, and how much heavy furniture you own, getting more than one quote before booking is worth the extra few minutes. Long-distance pricing depends mainly on total weight and mileage, so having a room-by-room inventory ready when you call helps narrow that range faster.

How this works: IRS SOI County-to-County Migration Data, 2022-2023. The IRS compares the address on consecutive tax returns, so every move here is a real filed household. The catch: it publishes annually with about a two-year lag, counts Douglas County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 29% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
