IRS county migration data for filing years 2022 to 2023 records 31,040 returns moving out of Hudson County, the county Jersey City sits in, and 29,898 moving in. A return approximates a household rather than a person. Those filings cover 50,988 individuals leaving and 39,987 arriving.
The counties receiving the most households from Hudson County were Bergen County (3,893 returns), Essex County (2,594 returns) and Union County (1,714 returns).
Arrivals came mainly from New York County, NY (3,860 returns), Bergen County (2,438 returns) and Kings County, NY (2,014 returns).
These figures come from federal tax return data and cover all household moves, not only those using professional movers.

The FMCSA motor carrier census lists 75 registrants carrying household goods whose physical address is in Jersey City, and 43 of those are classified by FMCSA as interstate operations. The census records the city name as the registrant filed it, and "JERSEY CITY" (74), "JERSEY" (1) all appear for Jersey City; the total above sums them. That figure counts companies whose federal registration lists an address in Jersey City. It is not the number of companies that will serve a move there: a mover registered in a neighbouring city can take the job, and a company registered in Jersey City may not.

Eagle Van Lines publishes its headquarters in Jersey City, NJ.
These companies are headquartered elsewhere in New Jersey. Their inclusion here does not by itself confirm a local office in Jersey City.
A. Fazio Moving & Storage files from Ramsey, New Jersey as a single federal registrant with five power units and two drivers on the federal file, and no parent, franchise network, van-line relationship or sibling registration located in the records reviewed. The company prints its own federal identifiers on its website and they match the registration described here. The exact operating-authority classes carried on the registration could not be read from the sources reviewed, so no authority role is asserted in either direction. No federal safety rating is carried on the file; a compliance review date from the 1960s exists in the record but a review date is not a rating and is not published as one. The company describes its history only in relative terms, so no founding year is stored.
A. Fazio Moving & Storage is headquartered elsewhere in NJ. That does not by itself confirm an office in Jersey City, and no service claim is made here.
A. Santini Moving & Storage files from Dayton, New Jersey. The federal registrant is a New Jersey storage corporation trading under the Santini moving name, with sixteen power units and six drivers on the federal file. A second registration in the same name is carried on the federal file as inactive and shares the company's published telephone number; that shared number is a real bridge, but no corporate filing establishing the relationship was read, so the registration is disclosed as related and unresolved and nothing about succession or ownership is asserted. The exact operating-authority classes on the active registration were not readable in the sources reviewed. No current federal safety rating is on file; an old compliance review date exists and is not published as a rating. The company's own history wording is relative, so no founding year is stored.

American Van Lines states first-party that it staffs moves with W2 employees rather than day labour. It requires a deposit to hold a move date, so ask what portion is refundable and by when before you pay it. We publish no BBB grade and hold no complaint dataset, so nothing here rates the company's service.

39 companies with a Jersey City address on their federal registration hold a granted household goods authority from the FMCSA, and 24 of those identify as a moving business in their legal or trade name. The 24 listed below are the ones registered with the agency longest, ordered by the federal registration date, earliest first. Registration age is the agency's own record. It is not a ranking, it is not a quality judgement and it is not a recommendation.
109 active registrants in Jersey City tick household goods among their cargo types on the census form, and 79 of those carry any authority row at all. The cargo tick box is filled in by the registrant, so this list uses the agency grant instead, then sets aside general freight, trucking, logistics and courier registrants that hold the authority without presenting themselves as household movers. It is not every mover serving Jersey City: a company based elsewhere may serve the city, and a registered address is not a service area.

Data as of 2026-08-15 from the FMCSA company census, with authority status as of 2026-08-16. The query behind this list. Information provided by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.
No. Federal registration and New Jersey authorisation are separate. The list above shows the federal record only, and we have not verified whether any company listed holds a New Jersey licence or permit.
A mover operating inside New Jersey needs the Public Mover and Warehouseman licence from the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs, Regulated Business Section. Its rates sit in tariff, a formal schedule of rates and charges kept at the mover's main office and on file with the Division of Consumer Affairs.

Peak demand across New Jersey runs May–September. Dates outside that window, and dates away from the last and first few days of any month, are where carriers have spare capacity — and spare capacity is what makes a crew negotiable on price.
We do not publish a percentage saving for moving off-peak in Jersey City. We hold no month-by-month booking price data for this city, and a discount figure taken from a national average would not describe this market. What we can say is structural, and it holds in every market:
The only reliable way to price a specific date is to put the same date in front of several licensed carriers and compare written estimates. Ask each one what the same move costs two weeks earlier or later — the gap between those two numbers is your real off-peak saving in Jersey City, measured on your move rather than on an average.
A tip is never part of a written estimate and never part of a binding price. It is discretionary, it is paid per mover rather than per crew, and it is handed to each mover directly at the end of the job rather than to the foreman to divide. Our working guideline scales with hours rather than with the value of the shipment, because that is how moving labour is actually priced:
These are a BestMovers.info editorial guideline, not a survey result. We hold no tipping survey for Jersey City and no federal record covers gratuities, so nothing here is a local figure. Read the full tipping guide for stairs, long carries, storage and interstate deliveries, where the crew that loads is not the crew that unloads.
Free boxes come from businesses that receive stock in cartons and throw the cartons away, and from households that finished moving last week. The sources are the same in every city, including Jersey City:
Ask in the morning, when the overnight delivery has just been unpacked and the cartons have not yet been flattened. Skip anything damp, greasy or previously used for produce that leaked. The free boxes guide covers how many you need by home size — those counts are BestMovers.info planning estimates rather than measured figures — and which boxes are worth buying rather than scavenging.
