This page lists the moving companies operating in Jersey City, NJ, together with typical local and long-distance prices, delivery times and the routes people most often search when leaving the city.
Local moves inside Jersey City are quoted by the hour: expect around $150 per hour for two movers and a truck, $200 for three, and $255 for a four-person crew, usually with a two- or three-hour minimum plus a travel fee. 1,570 of the local carriers hold interstate authority, and 1,505 report operating beyond 100 miles, so long-distance capacity is plentiful.
Jersey City is a dense city (19,894 people per square mile), which shapes how moves work: parking permits, elevator reservations, narrow streets and walk-ups add time, and many companies quote a shuttle or long-carry fee when a truck cannot park at the door.
Ranges cover a full-service crew (loading, transport, unloading). Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items are extra; the calculator below adds them.
