How much do movers cost?

Local moving costs typically range from $300-$1,500 for a standard home, based on hourly rates of $100-$200/hour for a crew. Long-distance moves are priced by weight and distance, averaging $2,000-$5,000 for cross-country relocations. Get multiple quotes through HomeIndex to compare pricing for your specific move.

How far in advance should I book movers?

Book movers 4-8 weeks in advance for the best availability and rates. Peak moving season (May-September) and month-end dates fill up quickly. For last-minute moves, HomeIndex can help you find available movers, though prices may be higher.

What is included in full-service moving?

Full-service moving typically includes packing materials, professional packing, furniture disassembly, loading, transportation, unloading, furniture reassembly, and unpacking. Some companies also offer storage solutions and specialty item handling for pianos, artwork, or antiques.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Licensed movers provide basic liability coverage (typically $0.60 per pound per item). For valuable items, consider purchasing full-value protection or checking if your homeowners/renters insurance covers moves. Always verify insurance coverage before hiring.

Should I tip my movers?

Tipping movers is customary but not required. A typical tip is $20-$50 per mover for local moves, or 15-20% of the total bill for exceptional service. Consider the difficulty of the move, professionalism, and care taken with your belongings when deciding.
