Moving a mobile home typically costs between $5,000 and $13,000 for a full- service move , but the total can range from about $1,000 on the very low end to $20,000+ for complex, long-distance jobs.

Quick Scoop

Here’s the short version of how much it costs to move a mobile home and what drives the price.

Typical price ranges

  • Low end (bare-bones, short distance, transport only): about $1,000–$3,000.
  • Normal range for a full-service move (disassemble, transport, set up): about $5,000–$13,000 in the U.S.
  • Average “all-in” cost often cited: around $8,500–$9,000 for a standard move with typical services.
  • High end: $15,000–$25,000+ if it’s a large home (double‑wide or triple‑wide), long distance (100+ miles), or a tricky site with lots of permits and prep work.

By home size

  • Single‑wide mobile home
    • Transport only (no setup): about $1,000–$2,000.
* Full service (disconnect, move, reconnect): often **$5,000–$8,000** ; many guides peg the **average around $6,500**.
  • Double‑wide mobile home
    • Transport only: commonly $2,000–$3,500.
* Full service: roughly **$8,000–$15,000** , with one recent guide citing an **average around $11,500**.
  • Triple‑wide or very large units
    • Full-service moves can easily hit $12,000–$20,000+ , especially when escort vehicles and extra permits are required.

Distance and what’s included

  • Very short local moves: around $1,000–$5,000 , depending mainly on size and how much setup is included.
  • Standard short- to medium-distance moves (within ~100 miles): usually $5,000–$9,000 for full service.
  • Long-distance moves or over 100 miles: can run $6,500–$15,000 , and some quotes for 100+ miles reach $20,000–$25,000 for large homes with full setup.
  • Many movers also quote per-mile transport rates , often around $1.50–$3.50 per mile , on top of base fees.

Why there’s so much variation

Key factors that change the price:

  • Size and weight of the home (single‑wide vs double‑wide vs triple‑wide).
  • Move distance and whether special routing or overnight stops are needed.
  • Full-service vs transport-only :
    • Full-service usually includes disconnecting utilities, removing skirting/steps, transporting, leveling and blocking, tying down, and reconnecting utilities.
* Transport-only is just hitch, haul, and drop, leaving you to handle all setup work.
  • Permits and escort vehicles if the home is wide enough to require pilot cars or if your state/county has higher permit fees.
  • Site prep at the new location (grading, installing or upgrading pads or piers, utility hookups, etc.).
  • Local cost differences (labor rates, fuel prices, state regulations) which have been rising into 2025–2026.

Simple rule of thumb

  • For a short, local move of a single‑wide with basic services , planning on about $5,000–$8,000 is usually realistic.
  • For a double‑wide with full services or any longer-distance move , budgeting $8,000–$15,000+ is safer, with the upper end applying to long distances, stricter permit areas, or complex sites.
