Definition of Long-Distance Moves
A long-distance move is defined as a relocation that crosses state lines. These moves differ from local relocations in scope, logistics, and planning requirements. Elite Moving and Storage provides long distance moving services throughout the continental United States, supporting customers who search for long distance movers in Chicago, as well as those needing compliant Illinois intrastate movers for complex relocations. Unlike local moves that are typically completed within a single day and billed hourly, long-distance moves involve door-to-door transportation across state lines with pricing and timelines established in advance.

Why Choose Elite Moving and Storage for Your Long Distance Move
There are many reasons why customers trust us, which our clients’ testimonials prove. With us, you can get:
Dedicated Truck Handling
Every long-distance move with Elite Moving & Storage is assigned a dedicated truck. As a result, your belongings are the only items loaded onto the vehicle. So, there is no load sharing or consolidation with other customers’ shipments. From pickup through final delivery, your items remain on the same truck. In turn, this reduces handling, minimizes risk, and ultimately ensures a more predictable delivery schedule. For this reason, dedicated truck handling is a standard service level expected from professional long-distance movers.
Inventory Creation & Tracking
The moving crew creates an official inventory at the time of loading, listing, labeling, and documenting each item to ensure accurate tracking throughout transit. The inventory includes a detailed record of furniture and packed items, allowing for verification at delivery. Customers receive a copy of the inventory for reference, providing transparency and peace of mind during every stage of the move.
Clear Pricing Structure
Long distance moves are offered with flat-rate pricing. The quoted price includes transportation, labor, fuel, mileage, tolls, and applicable taxes, along with all services specified in the moving package. This transparent approach aligns with what customers expect when comparing long distance moving companies Chicago offers, finalizes pricing once all move details are confirmed, and eliminates hidden fees or surprise charges.

What Customers Say
GREAT MOVERS The movers were on time and were extremely nice and professional about the move. When they got to our new home with our furniture, they helped put all of our furniture together, as well as unloaded everything from the truck very quickly. We had a lot of stuff that needed to be moved from our apartment to our new house, but Elite was able to handle everything quickly. The movers were great guys; I really appreciated them. Thanks, Elite! Would definitely recommend to friends in the future.
-Cheryl
We had a GREAT moving team today lead by Jose Reyes! Jose was very communicative, friendly and professional. He lead the team with clear expertise and efficiency. They worked quickly but with solid organization and safety. I would both hire and recommend Jose and his team in an instant. 5 STARS!
-Dina ARGUS
Rafa and his team arrived on time and never stopped working. They knew what needed to be done & did it efficiently. Nothing was damaged or an issue. They plugged in the units & made sure they were working. This is the second move with Elite, and we are very happy to recommend the company.
-Patty W
We moved 2 days ago from the house we lived in for over 20 years. The provided quote was very close to what we paid, even though there were a lot more items to be moved than I anticipated. The movers were on time, very professional, and super helpful. This team really took the stress out of moving. I would highly recommend this company!
-Ia Lubera
Elite gave me the best moving experience I have ever had. I had antique furniture, and everything was handled with care. Nothing was damaged. The price was reasonable, and their estimate was spot on. The team on the phone was so easy to work with, and the movers showed up right on time. All four were friendly, hard working, strong, and tactical. It was actually great to spend my day with them. Wholeheartedly recommend.
-Aimee Stoltz
This was the best experience moving I have had because of Elite. The men were amazing. Showed up on time, worked tirelessly as a team. No breaks. Cost came in lower than expected. My furniture was fully protected. Everything was wrapped. These are Professionals!!! They know exactly what to do to make your experience positive. They cared about my things treating them as their own. Each room was set up to my specifications as I directed them. So respectful and kind. You can’t go wrong with this Company.
-Kim Abello
We had an excellent experience with Elite Moving Company and highly recommend them. From start to finish, the team was professional, efficient, and incredibly detail-oriented. Every item was handled with care, and they used thorough protective coverings for all our furniture — a huge contrast to our previous experience with another company (H2H). The movers were organized, respectful of our space, and communicated clearly throughout the process. Nothing was damaged, and everything was placed exactly where it needed to go. If you value professionalism, attention to detail, and peace of mind during your move, Elite Moving is the company to go with.
-My Nguyen
I've used ELITE MOVING several times over the years for my clients. I keep coming back to them because my clients have always been happy with the way every move has been handled. The teams from ELITE are efficient and detailed in how they address each move. I have another move coming up in a week with them and know that it will be handled well.
-Glen Lusby
Overall, Israel and his crew did a great job. They arrived on time, performed a quick walk-through, and efficiently packed and loaded everything. There was no damage to the home or furniture. The only miss was that our bed frame wasn’t reinstalled correctly.
-Tony Russo
Elite moving was great. Jenny coordinated all the specifics and gave me the estimate. The movers showed up within the window and finished within the estimated time. They were fast, efficient, prepared, and made this a simple move. No lolly gagging and wasting time to eat the clock. They moved my baby grand piano, and heavy dressers. Nice job. I'd definitely use them next time.
