Cost of Movers

Published June 25, 2013

If you’re wondering how much movers cost, there are three ways to figure it out.

  • First, get some free moving quotes from MovingGuru.com. It’s a tried-and-true way to figure out how much movers cost, or at least to get a good idea of prices.
  • Second, talk to actual movers. Hit up at least three of them and talk to them about the specifics of your move, including where you’re going, what all you need to move, and any difficult issues. Here’s a more-detailed breakdown on what moving services cost.
  • Third, get a final price in the form of a flat rate or a binding-not-to-exceed rate, both of which let you know the maximum price you’ll have to pay. Try to avoid open-ended moving prices, because you might end up paying thousands of dollars more than expected.

If you do all of these things, you will know exactly how much movers cost.
