Moving Estimate FAQ
What should a moving estimate include?
A moving estimate should include: origin and destination addresses, move date, number of movers, estimated hours, truck size, packing services if applicable, specialty item handling (piano, safe), long-distance mileage rate, and the estimate validity period.
What is the difference between a binding and non-binding estimate?
A binding estimate is a fixed price — the mover cannot charge more regardless of actual weight or time. A non-binding estimate is approximate; the final bill is based on actual weight and time. Binding estimates provide more certainty for customers planning their budget.
How do moving companies charge?
Local moves are typically charged by the hour: $80–$150/hr for 2 movers, $120–$200/hr for 3. Long-distance moves are charged by weight and distance. A 2-bedroom local move averages $500–$1,200; long-distance runs $2,000–$5,000+.
When should I get a moving estimate?
Get at least 3 estimates 4–8 weeks before your move date. For long-distance moves, 6–8 weeks in advance is recommended. Be cautious of movers who give estimates without seeing your belongings.
