MOVING COST GUIDE
What does it cost to move a mobile home?
Start by separating transport from preparation and setup. The cheapest hauling price may leave out much of the work your move needs.
A useful starting budget, not a local quote
There is no verified Arkansas or Little Rock average in our own job data yet. The figures below come from Angi’s national cost guide. Use them to start a conversation with a mover, not to commit to a purchase or move.
| Home type | Published national planning range |
|---|---|
| Single-wide | Approximately $4,000–$8,000 |
| Double-wide | Approximately $8,000–$15,000 |
| Triple-wide | Approximately $12,000–$25,000+ |
These estimates vary by distance, scope, condition, and site needs. The same source lists roughly $1,000–$3,500 for a transport-only move of about 60 miles; that is a narrower scope than a complete relocation. No local mover has promised these prices through our service.
Ask for three parts of the price
Before the road
Inspection, preparation, removal of attachments, separation of sections when needed, loading, and equipment needed to make the home transportable.
On the road
Hauling, permits, any required escorts, route planning, and the time or equipment needed for difficult access.
At the destination
Unloading, reassembly, installation, anchoring, utility work, skirting, steps, inspections, and site preparation where included.
Compare written quotes line by line
| Ask about | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Exact home and route | A quote for a different size, distance, or destination is not a fair comparison. |
| Preparation and attachments | Porches, decks, additions, and skirting may need separate work. |
| Tires, axles, and frame condition | Missing equipment or repairs may change whether the move can proceed. |
| Site access | The mover needs workable access, turning room, and delivery space. |
| Setup and utility trades | A transport price may stop at delivery. Define who makes the home ready for use. |
| Payment and changes | Ask when deposits are due, what can change the price, and how changes are authorized. |
| Insurance and damage handling | Ask what coverage applies to this home and how a damage claim would be handled. |
Keep each written quote and compare the same scope. A low total with large exclusions can cost more after the work begins.
Buying a “must be moved” home?
Do these checks before paying the seller: have a mover assess transportability, confirm the destination will accept the home, and price the complete relocation. A low purchase price does not answer any of those questions.
- Get the year, width, length, and number of sections.
- Ask what title or ownership documents are available.
- Confirm when the seller requires removal.
- Photograph access and any additions for the mover.
- Keep room in your budget for work excluded from transport.
Cost questions
Is it cheaper to move a single-wide?
It often involves fewer sections and less separation work than a double-wide, but difficult access or repairs can change the comparison. Ask for a quote for the actual home.
Can I get an accurate price using mileage alone?
Mileage does not describe preparation, escorts, home condition, installation, or access. Give the mover both locations and the full scope.
Is the quote request free?
Yes. We do not charge you to submit a request. The mover sets any price for inspection or moving work and must explain it directly to you.
