If you're moving from Wilmington, DE to Georgia, you're looking at roughly 807 miles — far enough that the service you choose (full-service movers, containers, or a rental truck) will have a real impact on your budget and your sanity. This guide covers what that move will actually cost, which Wilmington companies have the strongest track record for this kind of distance, and what to expect on the other end.
Out of 63 Wilmington-area movers that handle interstate moves, these five rise to the top for long-distance moves on the Wilmington-to-Georgia route:
Rating: 4.44 / 5 | 95% positive reviews | BBB: A+
Based at 12 Hadco Road, Building 2, Wilmington — College Hunks has earned a solid local reputation. Across 276 reviews, 95% are positive. Customers consistently call out fast, friendly crews and careful handling. The small slice of negative feedback focuses on arrival delays and estimate inconsistencies, both worth asking about upfront. Yelp reviews back up the general picture. DOT #: 2378173.
Services: Local moves, packing, unpacking, office moves, storage. Accepts credit cards.
Rating: 4.48 / 5 | 85% positive reviews | BBB: F
Move Crew LLC (14 Fresconi Ct, New Castle) has built a following for flat-rate transparent pricing and punctual crews. They're also willing to accommodate last-minute bookings, which matters. That said, the BBB grade of F deserves attention. About 15% of reviewers report property damage or complaints that went unresolved. Check Google reviews carefully before committing, especially for a long haul to Georgia. DOT #: 2899919.
Services: Local and interstate moves, packing, unpacking, pianos, hot tubs, pool tables, art, antiques, crating, full-valuation coverage, storage. Accepts cash and credit cards.
Rating: 4.52 / 5 | 79% positive reviews | BBB: A+
Bayshore (901 Dawson Dr, Newark, DE) has 52 years in the business — the most experienced on this list. Their BBB A+ tracks with consistent praise for organized crews and timely delivery. Of 211 reviews, 79% are positive. The flip side: roughly one in five customers has experienced damage or communication lapses. Not a dealbreaker, but worth getting clarity on their claims process before you sign anything. Yelp reviews and Google reviews fill in the full picture. DOT #: 540129.
Services: Local, interstate, and international moves, packing, unpacking, offices, pianos, pool tables, art, antiques, crating, shipment tracking, storage, fragile-only packing. Accepts money order and credit card.
Rating: 4.38 / 5 | 82% positive reviews | BBB: A+
Ramsey's (4 Man o War Dr., Media, PA) is based just outside Wilmington but regularly handles Delaware area relocations. With 22 years in business and 82% positive reviews across 181 assessments, they stand out for handling specialty items — pianos, hot tubs, grandfather clocks, antiques — that other companies wave off. A minority of reviews flag unexpected charges, so read the contract carefully and get pricing locked down before signing. Check their Yelp profile and BBB profile for the fuller story. DOT #: 1168555.
Services: Local and interstate moves, packing, unpacking, offices, pianos, hot tubs, art, antiques, grandfather clocks, full-valuation coverage, storage, safes. Accepts money order, cash, and credit card.
Rating: 4.30 / 5 | 76% positive reviews | BBB: F
TWO MEN AND A TRUCK (83 Christiana Rd, New Castle) brings name recognition and, in this location's case, a BBB grade of F. Their 76% positive rate across 244 reviews reflects genuine satisfaction with efficiency and crew professionalism, but the negative reviews cluster around damage claims that don't get resolved. If you use them, document the condition of your items before the truck leaves. Yelp reviews are worth reading first. DOT #: 2527384.
Services: Local and interstate moves, packing, unpacking, pianos, storage, safes. Accepts credit card.
A quick note on specialty services: 44 movers in the Wilmington area offer custom crating for fragile or oversized items. If anything in your home requires it, ask specifically about crate specs and whether the build can be tailored to your item — before you book.
Before you start calling movers, use the moving cost calculator to get a baseline for your specific situation. Here's what the numbers look like across all three service types for an 807-mile move:
| Move Size | Full-Service Movers | Moving Containers | Rental Truck |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio / 1 BR | $1,064 – $3,773 | $734 – $1,726 | $541 – $1,061 |
| 2–3 Bedrooms | $2,172 – $4,842 | $1,266 – $2,727 | $561 – $1,153 |
| 4+ Bedrooms | $3,592 – $6,669 | $1,717 – $3,289 | $703 – $1,398 |
Estimates based on pricing data compiled as of January 2026. Actual costs vary with load volume, timing, access conditions, and fuel prices. Get multiple quotes before committing.
Full-service is the most hands-off option — movers handle loading, driving, and unloading. For this route:
The wide ranges are real — they reflect how much you're moving, whether you need packing services added on, the delivery window you negotiate, and the time of year. Summer moves and end-of-month dates consistently run higher.
Moving containers are a useful middle ground — you pack and load on your own schedule, the company handles the long haul. For this route:
If you want to avoid driving a truck cross-country but don't need full-service pricing, this is a reasonable path.
If you want the lowest possible price and don't mind doing the work yourself, a rental truck is the budget option. Estimated fuel costs are already factored in:
Just keep in mind that 807 miles behind the wheel of a loaded truck — likely followed by a full day of unloading — is no small commitment. Factor in overnight hotel costs if you're spreading it across two days.
Three variables move the needle most:
The financial case for this move is pretty clear once you get into the numbers. Georgia runs a lower overall cost of living than Wilmington — with a couple of notable exceptions that are worth planning around.

A few things worth flagging before you land:
Beyond finding movers and packing boxes, here's the logistics checklist worth working through:
Georgia rewards the curious. Here's a starting point.
Most moves on this route take two to seven days, depending on service type and time of year. Summer can push timelines toward the longer end. Ask your mover for a delivery window in writing before you commit.
Yes — 44 movers in the Wilmington area list custom crating. If you're moving fragile, oversized, or awkwardly shaped items, it's worth asking specifically about crate dimensions and whether they'll build to your item's specs.
Auto transport is the practical choice for most people on an 807-mile route — driving a second vehicle that far is its own logistics challenge. Look for carriers with FMCSA registration and verifiable reviews, and use the car shipping calculator to get a quote range.
The economic picture is the main draw — Georgia's per capita income runs about 45% higher, unemployment is significantly lower, and the overall cost of living is cheaper. The milder winters and lower crime index are frequently cited reasons too. Read more about moving to Georgia for a deeper look at what's pulling people there.
Currently, 29 movers in the Wilmington area accept cash. That said, most carriers strongly prefer traceable payment methods. Standard practice is a deposit to lock your date, with the balance due at pickup or delivery. Confirm the timing and accepted methods before you book.
