Mobile home moving cost calculator
Moving a mobile home costs about $5,000 to $8,000 full-service for a single-wide, $8,000 to $15,000 for a double-wide and $12,000 to $20,000 for a triple-wide within about 100 miles (HomeGuide, 2026). Transport only runs from $1,000 to $2,000 for a single-wide to $3,000 to $5,000 for a triple-wide. Longer moves add about $4.00 to $5.50 per mile for each section, plus escort cars. A 250-mile double-wide move works out to about $9,400 to $17,200.

How the estimate works
- Base price. HomeGuide's 2026 range for your home size and service. Full service covers disconnecting utilities, taking off skirting, steps and decks, hauling, then leveling, anchoring and reconnecting at the new site. Transport only assumes the home is already move-ready.
- Distance. This Old House notes that movers often charge a flat rate within 50 to 100 miles. Past 100 miles we add HomeGuide's $4.00 to $5.50 per mile for each towing vehicle. Every section is its own load, so a double-wide counts twice.
- Escort cars. Wide loads often need pilot cars. Past 100 miles we add $1.50 to $3.50 per mile per car (HomeGuide). Your state's permit office sets the rules: see permits by state.
Not included: lot rent or deposits, new skirting, decks, utility connections at a new private site, and property tax that must be paid before a move permit. For those, use the setup cost calculator. More background: cost to move a mobile home, transport-only vs. full service.

Common questions
How much does it cost to move a mobile home 50 miles?
Within about 100 miles most movers charge a flat rate, so a 50-mile move costs the published base range: $5,000 to $8,000 full-service for a single-wide and $8,000 to $15,000 for a double-wide (HomeGuide). Transport only is $1,000 to $2,000 for a single-wide.
How much does it cost to move a double-wide 100 miles?
About $8,000 to $15,000 for a full-service move and $2,000 to $3,500 for transport only, using HomeGuide's ranges. That is still inside the usual flat-rate distance.
What is the cost to move a mobile home per mile?
For long moves, HomeGuide lists $4.00 to $5.50 per mile for each towing vehicle, plus $1.50 to $2.00 per mile for each pilot car. Its moving guide puts escort cars at $1.50 to $3.50 per mile. This Old House gives $5 to $15 per mile for longer moves.
Why does a double-wide cost more to move?
Each section is split off and hauled as its own oversize load, then rejoined and sealed at the new site. That means two trucks, often escort cars, and more setup work.
Are permits included in the price?
HomeGuide says transport-only and full-service moves usually include permits and liability insurance. Ask each mover to confirm it in writing, and check your state's tax-clearance and permit steps before moving day.
