Some moving companies offer flat rates for moves. This means you pay one price for the entire move, no contingencies, no add ons, no hourly.
Flat rate moves are good if you have a difficult move to make. Because they involve a set price, it doesn’t matter how long it takes to move your pool table down your stairs. However, if you were paying hourly, then every set back and difficulty would tack on costs to your move.
Conversely, if you have an easy move ahead of you, hourly might be the better choice, because flat rates often incorporate some degree of risk, meaning they’re a bit more expensive.
