Moving to Newark
Moves that stay inside New Jersey are too few for a median
Who moves in. Most arrivals in this file come from Cabazon, CA; Orlando, FL; Paterson, NJ. Across 43 priced reviews, the median cost to move into Newark is $3,270. Moves that stay inside New Jersey are too few for a median, so this number is for people coming from outside the state. Try the cost calculator for a figure on your own load.
Price level. The 2024 BEA price parity for the New York-Newark-Jersey City metro is 112.6, and New Jersey as a whole is 108.8, with the US set at 100. Both sit above the national baseline, so day to day prices in the metro run higher than in a typical US place. That index is not the moving bill. A move or stay check keeps the two ideas apart.
What reviewers paid, Newark. A median needs 10 priced reviews. Reviews dated 2017 to 21 Sept 2026.
| Move | Median paid | Priced reviews |
|---|---|---|
| Into Newark from elsewhere | $3,270 | 43 |
| Out of Newark | $2,750 | 40 |
| From Newark within the state | not published | 8 |
| Price level, New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ (US = 100) | 112.6 | BEA 2024 |

Moving out of Newark
Reviews cluster in Aug, May, Sep and thin out in Feb, Apr, Mar
Where people go. The most common destinations are Los Angeles, CA; San Francisco, CA; Boston, MA. Across 40 priced reviews, the median cost to leave Newark is $2,750. Those moves leave the state, so they are interstate and sit under USDOT and FMCSA rules. A move that stays inside New Jersey follows the state rules instead.
When to book. Reviews cluster in Aug, May, Sep and thin out in Feb, Apr, Mar. The post usually lands a few weeks after the move, so the truck date sits a little earlier than the review month. Ask earlier than Aug, May, Sep if you want the truck in that window. The peak calculator ties the month to a price.

What makes a Newark move harder
Damage is mentioned in 15.3% of the reviews
Access and damage. These reviews do not name an access problem often enough to rank one, so the access line reads no single access problem. Damage is mentioned in 15.3% of the reviews, and the mean rating is 4.60. Note the condition of your goods before load day, or a later claim will have nothing to lean on.
Before the quote. Tell the mover both cities, the month, and whether the job stays in New Jersey or leaves the state. Arrivals and departures in this file do not share a median, so name which one you are doing. Walk the line items with a moving estimate guide before you accept the number.
