Cost to move a mobile home

What does it cost to move a mobile home?

Moving a mobile home in the United States typically costs between $5,000 and $25,000. The exact figure depends on the home size (single-wide vs double-wide vs triple-wide), the distance, and what services you bundle in.

Cost ranges by home size

• Single-wide (up to 18 ft wide): $5,000 to $9,000 for a short local move under 60 miles, $10,000 to $15,000 for a longer state-wide move.
• Double-wide: $10,000 to $16,000 short distance, $15,000 to $22,000 long distance.
• Triple-wide: $14,000 to $25,000 typical, with permits and escorts often pushing toward the upper bound.

What is included

Most mover quotes break out the following:

• Transport (truck, driver, fuel)
• Permits and pilot/escort cars
• Disconnect from utilities at origin
• Reconnect at destination
• Setup, leveling, skirting reinstall
• Insurance during transit

What is usually excluded

• Repairs to the home before transport
• Site prep at the destination (pad, hookups, septic)
• Utility deposits at the new address
• Anchoring upgrades to meet local wind-zone code

How to get accurate quotes

1. Confirm whether the buyer is paying or you are paying. 2. Ask 3 transporters licensed in both origin and destination states. 3. Get itemized quotes — disconnect, transport, setup, permits. 4. Verify insurance limits cover the home value.
