Moving a mobile home typically costs between $3,000 and $10,000 for local moves under 100 miles, with longer distances costing significantly more due to specialized trucks, escort vehicles, and wide-load permits.
These are generally considered moves that are within 50 miles. The costs for local moves usually depend on things like labor, the fees to disconnect and reconnect utilities, and some basic equipment charges.
For longer moves, expenses are influenced by fuel costs, the driver's hours, and any interstate permit fees you might need. Once you travel beyond local distances, movers typically start charging on a per-mile basis, usually ranging from $10 to $15 per mile for each section of the mobile home.

A single-wide is the most economical to move because it travels as a single unit. It requires only one truck, one driver, and one set of permits, making it significantly more affordable than double-wide or modular homes.
The quote for "transport only" is rarely the final price. You must budget for the services required to make the home livable at its new location.

Many first-time mobile home movers underestimate the total cost by focusing only on transport fees. Make sure to budget for permits, utility connections, and professional setup to avoid surprises.
Heavier homes require more powerful trucks and more fuel, directly impacting your total moving cost.
Routes with low bridges or narrow roads may require long detours, increasing both mileage and cost.
If you need new concrete blocks, hurricane straps, or specialized tie-downs, material costs will be added.
Some states require pilot cars ahead of and behind the load, costing $1.50 - $2.00 per mile per car.
