Type of Services Needed
Choose between full-service moving, which includes a truck and a professional team, or moving labor services like loading, unloading, packing, and unpacking. Specialty services, such as handling fragile antiques or disassembling large furniture, can also increase costs. When you hire a mover for a full-service experience, look for companies that handle packing, transportation, and unloading. Some movers also offer last-minute or same-day services for urgent relocations.
Hourly Charges vs. Flat Rates
Most movers charge by the hour, but some offer flat-rate packages based on distance and complexity. If you are on a budget, cheap moving services can be a good option, but watch for hidden costs like fuel charges, extra labor fees, or weekend surcharges. Some movers offer mid-week or off-season discounts. If your move includes multiple stops or long carry distances, ask if a fixed rate would be more cost-effective.
Extra services can add to the total cost, including:
Hiring movers with a truck costs more than hiring just labor. Renting your own truck or storage container can save on transportation costs, though you may still need help with heavy lifting.
Local moves happen within the same city or metro area. Companies usually charge hourly, with costs depending on the number of movers, accessibility (like stairs or elevators), and the amount of furniture. For smaller moves, hourly movers can be more cost-effective than a flat-rate service. This is particularly useful for in-town moves, where the time spent on loading, unloading, and traveling directly determines the cost.
If you rent a moving truck or container, you can hire labor-only movers to load, unload, pack, or disassemble furniture. This is ideal for DIY moves and is usually cheaper than full-service moving.
Many moving companies offer instant online estimates. Our website lists both truck-inclusive and labor-only pricing so you can compare options easily. It is best to book online in advance to secure better rates and availability.
When booking online, include:
