What affects moving costs?
Understanding these factors helps you get the most accurate quote.
📦
Home Size
The number of rooms and total volume of belongings is the biggest cost driver. More items = more time and truck space.
📍
Distance
Local moves are charged hourly. Long-distance moves are priced by weight and mileage, which increases costs significantly.
🗓
Move Date
Moving on weekends or at the end of the month costs 15–25% more. Mid-week and mid-month moves are cheapest.
🛠
Services Needed
Adding packing, unpacking, or specialty item handling increases costs but saves significant time and stress.
🏗
Access & Conditions
Stairs, narrow hallways, long carries from truck to door, and elevator waits all add time and therefore cost.
⚡
Season
Summer (May–September) is peak moving season with 20–30% higher rates. Winter moves are typically the most affordable.
