Questions people ask
Why is the price range so wide?
Because every mover prices differently, and the guides we use publish ranges, not single prices. Packing alone runs $280 to $2,200, depending on how much stuff you have and who's doing it. The estimate tells you the ballpark. Real quotes give you the number.
How much do movers cost per hour?
Published rates run $100 to $150 an hour for a 2-person crew on a small apartment, and $150 to $270 an hour for the 3-person crew a 2 bedroom usually needs.
How much do movers cost for a 1 bedroom apartment?
For a local move, a 1 bedroom usually takes 3 to 4 hours with 2 movers at $100 to $150 an hour. That works out to $300 to $600 before extras and travel time.
What counts as a long-distance move?
A move over 100 miles usually counts as long distance. Those are usually priced by weight and distance instead of by the hour.
How much should you tip movers?
Guides suggest at least 10% and up to 20% of the final bill.
