“If I could rate the movers with 10 stars, I would. Pedro and Alberto were fantastic! They were friendly, professional, and they did a great job. I highly recommend them.”
Long-distance moves from Waltham start with a built-in advantage. Smart Penny Moving® is headquartered in Woburn — right next door to Waltham — which means trucks are prepared and ready to go without driving in from another location. When your move day starts in Waltham, it starts on time with no commute charges before the job begins.
Waltham’s diverse housing stock — South Side Victorians, family homes throughout Lakeview and Cedarwood, and apartments near Brandeis and Bentley — means long-distance moves from here vary significantly. We do a detailed pre-move walkthrough at your Waltham address, pack specifically for the long haul, and handle the full route to your new home wherever you’re headed. One crew, one plan, no handoffs to a third-party carrier you’ve never met.
A long-distance move out of Waltham involves more planning than most people expect. Whether you’re leaving a South Side Victorian, a Moody Street apartment, or a home near Brandeis University, the packing has to be right before the truck leaves. We confirm access details at both ends, communicate at every stage, and because we’re right next door in Woburn, we can do an on-site walkthrough at your Waltham home before giving you a quote — faster than any other moving company serving this area.
What you can count on:
• Flat-rate pricing — what you sign is what you pay, not a penny more
• Full packing available — we bring all materials and handle everything from your Waltham home
• Your belongings wrapped and secured for the road, not just for a short drive
• Extra stops within 5–10 miles of the route at no additional charge
• 100% licensed and insured for interstate moves
Long distance projects have a flat rate price. What you sign for is exactly what you pay, not a penny more!
Smart Penny encourages potential and future clients to begin scheduling long distance moves a month or more ahead of time. There is no limit as how far into the future you can book your move with us.
We offer packing services that are priced by the number of boxes you need help in preparing. Any extra stops and pick ups are free within five to ten miles of the targeted route and destination.
There are a couple of items we do not transport, including the following: A. Gas, B. Paints, C. Passports, D. Money, E. Phones, F. Animals
The sooner you reach out the better. Long-distance moves book up — we recommend scheduling at least a month in advance, and further out for summer moves when demand peaks. Because we’re right next door in Woburn, we can schedule an on-site walkthrough at your Waltham address almost immediately. Share your origin address, destination, and timeline and we’ll put together a real number. Call 800-611-2201 or fill out the form above.
Sometimes a long-distance move doesn’t land cleanly — your new place isn’t ready, the closing date shifted, or not everything is making the trip right away. Our storage facility in Woburn is literally next door to Waltham — your belongings go from our truck into storage and back out again when you’re ready. Starting at $89/month with 24-hour surveillance and climate control. Same team, no separate vendor, no driving across town.
• Book early — Long-distance slots fill up fast, especially May through September. Give us at least 4–6 weeks notice, more if possible.
• Declutter before we pack — long-distance pricing reflects volume; less moving means a more accurate and lower quote
• Make a room-by-room inventory — flag anything fragile, high-value, or oversized in your Waltham home; we’ll plan handling and packing around it
• Confirm access at both ends — parking at your Waltham address and access at the destination; we’ll ask the right questions
• Pack a personal essentials box last — Medications, documents, chargers, a change of clothes. Keep it with you, not on the truck.
• Notify key parties in advance — USPS forwarding, utilities, insurance, banks, schools. Our moving checklist has the full list.
