What a long distance move from The Bronx involves
The Bronx is the borough where the truck usually reaches the door.
Shorter carry, smaller crew, one binding price in writing after the survey. It sits inside the price you were quoted rather than arriving afterwards.
The rest is the ordinary work: a survey that counts what you own, a binding price in writing, our own crew loading and delivering, and thirty days of storage if your dates slip.

The dollar ranges are the MARKET rate, not our quote, and they are the NEW YORK CITY band: moveBuddha publishes its figures for the city rather than for The Bronx on its own. moveBuddha's monthly dataset of live quotes across vetted movers, last updated 31 August 2026. Weights are the industry rule of thumb. We price your move from a survey of your actual inventory and give you one binding number in writing, which is why no figure above is presented as ours.

What your final price includes
The complaint in this industry is always the bill that grew. This is the line between included and extra, before you have to ask.
- Included One truck, one crew The crew that loads you is the crew that unloads you.
- Included Storage for 30 days Useful when a closing slips.
- Included Basic cover 60 cents for every pound an item weighs.
- Extra Full cover Pays to repair or replace what we list together.
- Extra Packing and crates Up to 15 boxes is partial, more than that is full.
- Extra Car shipping Open or enclosed.
How your move from The Bronx works, step by step
Four points where something is decided.
-
Survey, and the approach
We count the inventory and check how close the truck can get, how many flights there are, and whether the building has any requirements at all.
-
Paperwork if there is any
A managed building gets its certificate and a booked lift. Many Bronx addresses need neither, and then there is nothing to arrange.
-
Load day
A shorter carry usually means a smaller crew for the same inventory, which is where the saving actually appears.
-
Transit and delivery
One carrier, one crew, and a delivery window rather than a promised hour.

Building practice as commonly required by Bronx management. The regulated part of a move is covered in the questions below.
The Bronx is the borough where the truck reaches the door
Of the three New York boroughs we work in, the Bronx is the easy one — and nobody says so, because it is not a flattering way to sell a city.
The rules are identical to Manhattan’s and Brooklyn’s: there is no consumer curb permit anywhere in New York, and a managed building will want a certificate of insurance and a booked service lift. What differs is how often any of that applies. The Bronx has a mixed housing stock — mid-rise, walk-up and detached — with fewer co-op boards than Manhattan and more street a truck can legally use than either of the others. In practice that means the vehicle reaches the door more often, the carry is shorter, and a shuttle is needed less.
That is worth saying plainly because it affects the price. The same two-bedroom costs less to move out of the Bronx than out of a Manhattan lift building with a two-hour window, and the reason is entirely access rather than anything about the work.
Where a Bronx address is a managed building, the usual applies and we handle it: the certificate to management at their limits, the lift booked inside the hours they allow. Where it is not, the survey is about the stair and the curb.
What decides a move out of The Bronx
The borough where the truck reaches the door
Same rules as the rest of the city, applied far less often — and that shows up in the price.
More parkable than either other borough
More parkable street than the others
More street a truck can legally use, which means the vehicle reaches the door more often and a shuttle is needed less. That is a direct saving rather than a convenience.
Mixed mid-rise, walk-up and detached
Mid-rise, walk-up and detached stock
A wider mix than Manhattan or Brooklyn, with fewer co-op boards. Less paperwork on average, though a managed building still wants its certificate and its lift window.
Shortest of the three boroughs
The shortest carries of the boroughs
Shorter carries and fewer flights on average mean a smaller crew for the same inventory — the same two-bedroom costs less from here than from a Manhattan lift building with a two-hour window.
Building requirements are what Bronx management commonly asks for rather than a regulation.
Protection
Moving insurance: what your belongings are covered for
Every interstate move carries released-value liability by law, and it is lower than almost everyone expects: sixty cents per pound of the item, not what the item is worth. A shorter carry means less handling, but the standard is the same — and it is still weight rather than worth.
- 60¢ / lb
- released value — free, but you have to choose it
- Full value
- the federal default if you choose nothing
- $100k / $500k
- auto transport, open or enclosed
Less handling is not the same as less risk on the road.

Where we load in The Bronx
Three kinds of address, three kinds of load.
-
Managed buildings
Riverdale · Mott Haven · Concourse
A managed building still wants its certificate and its lift window, though there are fewer co-op boards here than in Manhattan.
-
Walk-ups
Fordham · Kingsbridge · Pelham Parkway
No lift, so the crew is sized for the flights. Shorter carries on average than in either other borough.
-
Detached and semi-detached
Country Club · Throgs Neck · City Island · Morris Park
Driveways and reachable doors — more parkable street than Manhattan or Brooklyn offers, which is a direct saving.

“I couldn't be happier with their service, because I would never be able to manage all these moving and packing on my own.”

We've utilized this moving service a minimum of 5 times (we relocate quite frequently!) including two different moves within the past couple of weeks – one to a fresh house and another to a storage facility shortly after. I couldn't even think of using another moving service! The process of scheduling is a breeze, they arrive precisely when expected, and the movers are incredibly courteous, efficient, and friendly. They put in a lot of effort and handle your items as if they were their own. They also possess skills in packing and unpacking, which has been immensely beneficial. They are highly adaptable and always seem to figure out how to maneuver seemingly impossible in/out scenarios. Moreover, the office staff is so kind and quick to respond – they go above and beyond to make sure all your queries and worries are addressed. They answer their own calls and respond to emails instantly. These are the best movers out there! We'll absolutely be using their service again in a year for our next (and hopefully final) move to Modesto!

I contacted Cross Country in a panic when another moving company completely blew their pick up date and left me stranded. Not only was Cross Country able to pick up my life within 72 hours, every single person I interacted with was kind, thorough and (gasp!) even funny! Moving is tough. This move was from Boulder, CO to Detroit, MI in the middle of winter. The team at Cross Country not only saved the day, they went above and beyond to make sure all our timing hit just right. My stuff was picked up on a Tuesday and delivered on Friday of the same week. The movers in Colorado were great – easy going yet efficient and very careful with my items. The dispatch team is as good as it gets. Overall, dependable, quality service at competitive rates. They may be slightly more than others but when it comes to moving, you get what you pay for. These guys offer peace of mind and ease in addition to outstanding service. Would absolutely use again.

relocating two storage facilities into one is a massive endeavor. i feel fortunate to have been directed to the team at cross country movers group. like any sensible person, i gathered 3 estimates for shifting my packing machinery. the three proposals were highly competitive, but the technician from cross country movers group elevated the estimation process. he inquired about all the right details and delivered a comforting customer experience. from inception to completion, this team took charge of everything. i was kept in the loop all week with updates on their progress or any possible delays. collaborating with the crew was the most seamless relocating experience i’ve ever had. i was able to concentrate on other tasks while they handled the move. the work was finished in 3 weeks, with 4 large presses, 2 small presses, and 5 other machines all relocated without a single issue. i greatly appreciate the outstanding service you guys provided!

Areas we serve
the states we run into
Is a Bronx move cheaper than a Manhattan one?
Often, and the reason is access rather than anything about the work. More street a truck can legally use, shorter carries, fewer flights and fewer co-op boards mean a smaller crew for the same inventory. The same two-bedroom generally costs less from here than from a Manhattan lift building with a two-hour window.
Do I still need a certificate of insurance?
If your building is managed, yes — and it will usually not release the service lift without one. Plenty of Bronx addresses are not managed, in which case there is no paperwork at all and the survey is about the stair and the curb.
Can you reserve the parking outside?
No — New York offers no consumer moving permit anywhere, the Bronx included. The difference here is that it matters less, because there is more street the truck can lawfully use in the first place.
Will a full-size trailer reach my door?
More often than in Manhattan or much of Brooklyn, though not everywhere. We check the approach at survey and price a shuttle only where one is genuinely needed.
You are an interstate carrier — what about a move inside New York?
Different regulator. Interstate is federal: USDOT 2138595 and MC-744411, checkable on the FMCSA register. A move that starts and ends in New York is regulated by NYSDOT, which licenses movers and requires them to file their rates as a tariff.
What is my furniture actually insured for?
By default sixty cents per pound of the item — the federal released-value standard, included at no cost. That is weight, not worth. Full-value protection is the paid alternative on an inventory we declare together.
Moving out of the Bronx?
The approach checked, the crew sized honestly, and a binding number before you commit.
