Frequently asked questions
What does this moving cost estimate include?
Labor from your number of movers, hourly rate and estimated hours, a truck rental fee, packing materials, any other costs such as insurance or storage, and a distance surcharge that only applies once a move passes 50 miles.
How many hours should I estimate?
A typical local move takes 4 to 8 hours depending on how much furniture and how many boxes you have, plus how easy access is at both properties, such as stairs or long carry distances. Get a rough quote from a local mover for a more accurate hours figure.
Why is there a surcharge over 50 miles?
Long-distance moves add fuel and travel time that a purely local, hourly-rate quote does not capture. This calculator adds a small per-mile charge only for the miles beyond 50, as a rough stand-in for that extra cost.
