Or call (888) 278-9005

Send this over and the Quincy office on Hancock St usually has a written rate back in your hands before the business day is out. Pricing the move is on us, never on you, and hitting send commits you to absolutely nothing — take all the time you want with the number, and say yes only once it feels right. The details you enter here go straight to the single estimator drawing up your quote, and they stay on that desk and nowhere else.

✓ No spam. One thing happens with the details on this form, and one thing only: Movers South Shore follows up with you about the South Shore move you described. Selling it, renting it, or handing it to some third party is simply off the table here — that will never happen. Would you rather we text you than ring you? Easily done; the one cost that can show up is the ordinary message rate your mobile carrier already charges. The full breakdown lives in our Privacy Policy whenever you want to look it over.

Moving from Quincy to Cape Cod

Sixty miles down Route 3 and over the Sagamore, the Cape sits an hour and fifteen from Quincy on an open road, and a great deal longer on a summer Friday when the whole state is funneling toward the same bridge. We run this lane both directions all year. The cottage in Falmouth or Dennis that finally becomes a year-round address. The retiree trading a Milton Victorian or a Hingham colonial for a place near the water. And the household going the other way once the off-season Cape gets too still for them.

People picture a Cape job as a city move tipped on its side, and it is not. The far end is usually the gentle part: a single-family with a driveway you can back right up to, no fifth-floor walk-up in sight. The weight of the work sits at the start, in a Wollaston three-decker, a Quincy Center condo with a pinched stairwell, or a Hingham harbor house where the carry runs a long way down toward the water. Then there is the bridge, which is why we pick a departure window that keeps the truck off the Sagamore approach instead of parked on it bleeding hours.

How we set up the Cape lane

The front end gets the attention. We reserve the Quincy permit, pad and shrink-wrap everything while it is still at the top of the stairs, and pin the departure to a window that drops us onto the Cape ahead of the crush rather than inside it. At the destination the crew sets each piece in its room and rebuilds the beds; nobody stacks your life in the garage and calls the job finished.

  • Departure timed to the bridge — we leave around the Sagamore and Bourne backups, not straight into them
  • The hard end handled first — the tight Quincy or condo staircase is cleared before the long southbound run
  • A storage bridge if dates drift — the load waits clean and dry until your Cape closing actually lands
  • One crew start to finish — the people who load you in Quincy are the people who unload you on the Cape, never a stranger

A sixty-mile lane, still one written number

At sixty miles, this is the distance where some outfits start tacking on mileage, fuel, and bridge-delay fees. We do not split the lane into surcharges. The whole run, Quincy staircase to Cape driveway, comes as a single flat rate in writing, and the Sagamore traffic is ours to plan around rather than yours to pay for.

Honest figures drawn from real South Shore loads we have already run down this lane

Every bracket below comes straight off real Quincy, MA → Cape Cod, MA loads our own South Shore drivers have already run. Three things mostly decide where your own number lands: which week of the calendar you book (peak summer off Route 3 runs higher than a quiet February), whether our truck can park close at both ends or has to shuttle from a Quincy permit zone or a tight harbor-home street, and whether you pack the boxes yourself or leave that to the crew.

Quincy, MA → Cape Cod, MA FAQs

What people usually ask before booking this route

How long does a Quincy to Cape Cod move take?
Off-season the drive is roughly an hour and fifteen down Route 3, with a summer Friday over the Sagamore adding a good deal more. On site it usually fills a day, depending on your home size and the staircase waiting at the Quincy end.
Do you plan around the bridge traffic?
Always. We pick a departure window that keeps the truck off the Sagamore and Bourne backups instead of stuck on the approach burning the clock. Working that out is part of the job, never a line on your bill.
What if my Cape closing date slips?
Then your load waits in short-term storage, clean and dry, until the closing or move-in date firms up. This happens to South Shore families constantly, so we build for it from the start.
Is there a mileage charge for the 60-mile drive?
None. The whole lane comes as one written flat rate, with the Route 3 miles and the bridge timing already folded into the figure you sign rather than bolted on at the finish.
