Hi, thanks for visiting Movers.com for price information for your upcoming move! Since every move is different, there's no "standard" cost for a 30-mile move, because it will depend more on the size of your home and the amount of items you'll need moved (and packed).
Local moves
Since your move is 30 miles, it is considered a local move. Typically, local moving costs are calculated based on an hourly rate and how many movers you require. The hourly price will vary depending on the moving company and area in which you are located. Larger homes usually require three or four crew members, but for only two rooms, you may only need two.
In this scenario, if a moving company charges $80 an hour per mover, your move would cost $160 an hour. However, please keep in mind that this is merely a scenario, and is no substitute for getting estimates from local moving companies in your area.

The best way to price your move is to get quotes directly from professional companies. You can get started here at Movers.com by filling out our simple quote form.
