Local Moving Charges
How much will a local move cost? Several factors are considered when calculating your local moving costs:
- Labor – We charge an hourly rate for each local mover working on your moving job. We start the clock when the local movers arrive at your front door and stop it once they have completed their work at your new home.
- Trucks – We charge an hourly fee for each moving truck used to move your belongings.
- Packing Materials – We charge a reasonable fee for all boxes and packaging materials used during your move.
- Valuation/Insurance – We charge a basic insurance fee to insure your belongings, in case any damage occurs.
