Moving FAQ

How much does a move typically cost?

Cost depends mainly on home size, distance, and whether you're doing it yourself or hiring full-service movers. Local moves are usually priced hourly; long-distance moves are usually priced by weight and distance. Use our estimator above for a rough range.

What size truck do I need?

Truck size depends on your home's size and how much you're bringing — a studio typically needs a much smaller truck than a 4-bedroom house. Our estimator tool above gives you a size recommendation based on your specific situation.

Is it cheaper to move myself or hire movers?

DIY truck rental is usually cheaper upfront but requires your own labor and time; full-service movers cost more but save significant physical effort and risk. The right choice depends on your budget, timeline, and how much help you have.

When is the cheapest time to move?

Mid-month and midweek moves are often cheaper than end-of-month or weekend moves, since demand is lower during those periods. Booking well in advance also typically gets you better rates and availability.
