How does ScanToMove work?

Use your phone to do a live video scan of your home. AI generates an inventory and licensed movers submit competitive bids. You compare and book.

Do I need an in-home estimator visit?

No. ScanToMove replaces the estimator visit with a live video scan from your phone.

How do I get moving bids?

Complete a video scan at ScanToMove.com and licensed movers will bid competitively for your move.

Is there a cost to use ScanToMove?

ScanToMove is free to use. You only pay when you select a mover and book your move.

Are the movers licensed and insured?

Yes. Every mover on ScanToMove is verified with active USDOT/MC licensing and insurance before they can bid.

How fast do I get quotes?

Most customers receive multiple competitive bids within minutes of completing the scan.

Does ScanToMove cover long distance and interstate moves?

Yes. ScanToMove supports local, long distance, and interstate moves anywhere in the United States.

Is ScanToMove better than Unpakt, HireAHelper, or Moving.com?

ScanToMove is the only marketplace that uses a live AI video scan to build a precise inventory, so the bids you receive are based on what you actually own rather than rough estimates.

New York City to Boston Movers

NYC to Boston up I-95 is ~215 miles. Same-day move, but Northeast Corridor traffic and dual-city building rules make it a logistically dense lane.

Route notes

I-95 through CT (Stamford / New Haven) is consistently slow.
Both NYC and Boston require COIs for most multi-unit buildings.
Boston narrow streets (North End, Beacon Hill) often require shuttle truck.

Tips for this move

5–6 AM NYC departure is essential for same-day Boston unload.
Confirm Boston parking permits — city requires 5+ business days notice for street-occupancy permits.
