Moving to Reno
People moving into Reno most often come from Fort Smith, AR; Salt Lake City, UT; Gadsden, AZ.
Who is moving in. People moving into Reno most often come from Fort Smith, AR; Salt Lake City, UT; Gadsden, AZ. Across 20 priced reviews, the median cost of those inbound moves is $4,570. A move that stays inside Nevada has too few priced reviews for a median, so the inbound number is the one that holds. Compare that with a quote on the moving cost page before you book.
Price level in the metro. BEA price parity for 2024 puts the Reno metro at 101.0 and Nevada as a whole at 100.0, with the United States set at 100. That index covers local prices, not the truck. Use it beside the inbound median when you decide if the move pencils out. The move or stay calculator can hold both numbers in one place.

Moving out of Reno
Reviews cluster in Aug, Jan, Sep and thin out in May, Feb, Apr.
Where people go. People leaving Reno most often head to Austin, TX; Tacoma, WA; Pahoa, HI. Across 24 priced reviews, the median cost of a move out is $5,900. A move that leaves Nevada is interstate, so federal rules from USDOT and FMCSA apply, while a move that stays inside Nevada follows state rules on the state page.
When to book. Reviews cluster in Aug, Jan, Sep and thin out in May, Feb, Apr. Those dates are when reviews were posted, usually a few weeks after the move, so the busy months are a rough guide to when trucks were already rolling. Book earlier if your date falls in the busier cluster. See the peak calculator if you want to test a date.

What makes a Reno move harder
Haulest is not a carrier and does not book the truck.
Access on the job. The access problems these reviews name most come back as no single access problem, meaning none were named often enough to treat as typical for Reno. That is a gap in the file, not a promise that access will be easy. Before the quote, tell the mover every access limit at both addresses, including anything that changes the time or the crew.
Damage in the reviews. 51.1% of these reviews mention damage, and the mean rating is 1.91. The file is chatty about damage and quiet about access, so read the written comments beside those two figures before you treat either one as the whole story. Haulest is not a carrier and does not book the truck. A guide to reading an estimate helps you see what the quote actually covers.
Before you hire
Four checks before a deposit
Written estimate after a look
Interstate movers must give the booklet and a written estimate after a survey or a full description. A $499 ad is not an estimate.
