New Orleans to Baton Rouge, Mobile, or Houston: $1,400 – $3,000. To Atlanta, Memphis, or Dallas: $1,800 – $3,800. Cross-country: $4,500 – $9,000.
Peak: May through September (avoid Jazz Fest). Cheapest: November through February.
A typical 1-bedroom local move in New Orleans costs $750 – $1,500. 2-bedroom homes run $1,200 – $2,500, and 3-bedroom+ moves land between $2,000 – $4,000.
