Your Movers questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on HomeGuide.

How much do movers cost?

Your moving costs will depend on the size of your home, amount of furniture and other belongings, whether you require packing services, and the distance moved:

  • Movers cost $900 to $2,800 on average for local moves, which are typically under 50 miles.
  • Long-distance movers cost $1,300 to $9,500+, depending on the total mileage and the weight of your items.

Moving rates are $50 to $100+ per hour per mover. However, many moving companies charge by the weight or truck size.

How much should I tip movers?

Tip each mover $5 to $10 per hour of work for small, simple moves or 5% to 20% of the total moving cost for large, full-day or long-distance moves. Be sure to tip each crew member separately.

Should I buy moving insurance?

Confirm whether or not your homeowners or renters insurance policy covers your belongings if they get damaged or lost during a move. If your insurance policy does not cover your move, consider purchasing moving insurance.

  • Interstate moving companies must provide basic and full-coverage insurance options, but the insurance doesn't protect items you pack yourself.
  • Local moving companies are not required to provide insurance.
  • Third-party insurance companies offer moving insurance for local and interstate moves.

Can I hire movers just to load a truck?

Yes, you can hire movers just to load or unload a truck. For long-distance moves, it's sometimes more cost-effective to rent a moving truck yourself, hire local movers to load it for you, drive it to your destination yourself, and hire local movers to unload it into your new home.

Will movers go to a storage unit?

Yes, you can hire a moving company to move items into or out of a storage unit. However, some storage facilities require you to be present when the movers are accessing your storage unit.

Do movers pack for you?

Full-service moving companies offer packing services for $30 to $50 per hour plus the cost of moving boxes, tape, and padding or wrapping materials. This fee is in addition to the moving cost.

Full-service movers typically:

  • Provide all boxes, packing tape, wrapping materials, and padding
  • Handle all the packing, including labeling the boxes by room and detailing the contents
  • Use felt pads to protect items that cannot be taken apart, like mirrors, artwork, and TVs
  • Disassemble and reassemble all your furniture
  • Unpack everything at your new home, placing everything in the right room

Some full-service movers also hang mirrors and artwork and install TVs and other appliances.

How can I hire the best moving company near me?

Follow these tips to choose the best moving company:

  • Look for movers who belong to the American Moving & Storage Association (AMSA).
  • Read their reviews on HomeGuide and Google.
  • Get 3 quotes to compare.
  • Confirm the movers are available on your preferred date.
  • Ask about moving insurance options.
  • Get a detailed contract in writing.

  • Are you a member of the AMSA?
