Moving companies do not typically charge by a flat rate; they typically charge based on multiple determining factors. One element that determines your final bill amount is the size of the move, how many movers will be needed, and which type of services you choose.

There are several key factors that will affect your charges:

Size of the Move: A smaller move (small apartment or residential moving) will take less time and labor to complete than a larger move (large house).

Number of Movers: An increased number of movers will produce a quicker completion of your move; however, the total amount charged will depend on all the work performed.

Type of Service: There are many ways for you to customize your service level by adding on additional services such as packing or unpacking and/or disassembly and reassembly of your furniture.

Distance of the Move: Local moves are most often charged based on the number of hours spent completing the move, whereas moving across state lines and/or long distance will be charged based on the total distance of the move plus the weight of the load.

Complexity of the Move: Complexities may include the number of stairs to move up/down, elevator access, tight quarters, condo move, etc. The higher level of complexity will increase the total amount and time required for completing the move.

Time and Season: Moving on the weekends, major holidays, or during peak season may affect both availability for booking your move and the schedule of your move.

Rather than focusing solely on the hourly rate, you should view your move from a larger perspective. Professional moving companies will strive to ensure that your possessions will be handled with safety and efficiency.
