How much do movers cost?

I need to know how much movers cost

Most movers will determine the cost of your move by several factors including how much you’re moving, when you plan on moving, and the distance between your old home and your new home. This means that your moving cost will be unique. So, the fastest way to determine how much do movers cost is to get moving quotes and start comparing your options. You can begin now with a free moving quote from U-Pack®, a “you pack, we drive” moving service with prices competitive with truck rental.

How to determine mover cost – step by step

The first thing you need to ask yourself is how you want to move. More often than not, the cheapest options are those where you do all of the work yourself. While you can have all the work done for you but for a much higher price, I suggest choosing a solution like U-Pack where you do the loading/unloading and an experienced driver does the driving at an affordable rate.

Once you’ve narrowed down how you want to move, take a good look into the costs associated with that mover. The next step is to do your research. Here’s a brief summary to help you get started:

• Do-it-yourself movers like long-distance truck rental can seem cheap at first, but the additional costs of fuel for a gas-guzzling rental truck, sales tax, tolls, and damage coverage can really add up. Just use this rental truck fuel calculator to see what I mean.
• Full-service movers likely will be the most expensive option simply because they do all the moving for you. However, they can take a long time to deliver your belongings (typically 4-6 weeks). If you’re in a time crunch or on a budget, this might not be the best option for you.
• You pack, they drive moving options like U-Pack are typically the best option for your money, time, and well-being. You save money by doing the loading/unloading yourself, but lose all that stress by letting an experienced driver do the driving for you. Thanks to U-Pack’s efficient primary transportation provider, ABF, we average transit times of 2 to 5 business days. Now that’s a winning combination!

The last step is to get moving quotes. Like I said above, this is truly the only way to figure out how much movers cost for your specific move (and the fastest). You’ll want to keep in mind that U-Pack has rates competitive with truck rental. U-Pack customers enjoy paying a low rate and not having to drive.
