There comes a time in all our lives when buying beer and pizza for our friends and borrowing somebody’s pickup truck just doesn’t cut it for moving anymore. Moving is stressful enough without having to do it yourself. Unique Movers promises expert service and upfront pricing so your moving day can go off without a hitch. However, what is the typical cost for moving? If you’re in the early stages of planning a move and trying to figure out your budget, you’ve come to the right place. Read through the blog below or get in touch with our team! Fill out our contact form or call (320) 237-3776.
The size of the moving crew and the equipment required play a significant role in determining costs. Unique Movers offers the following hourly rates with a two-hour minimum:
- $160/hour – 2 Home Movers, 1 Truck, 1 Trailer
- $210/hour – 3 Home Movers, 1 Truck, 1 Trailer
- $260/hour – 4 Home Movers, 1 Truck, 1 Trailer
- $320/hour – 5 Home Movers, 1 Truck, 1 Trailer
At Unique Movers, we most commonly recommend using four to five home movers with one truck and trailer for standard home moves.
Duration of the Move
The total time required to complete the move directly impacts the overall cost.
For example, hiring four movers at $260/hour for 4 hours totals $1,040, whereas two movers at $160/hour might take 8 hours, totaling $1,280. The Unique Movers team is motivated to provide the correct number of movers to balance hourly charges with a quick turnaround time, and this will be noted on your free moving quote.
Additional Services
Additional charges may apply for packing, unpacking, storing, making extra stops, and handling bulky items. If you are interested in any of these services, just let us know, and we can include them in your moving estimate. Unique Movers offers all of these and more!
Trip Charges
Trip charges apply to all moves and vary depending on the origin and destination addresses. Of course, a 100-mile move will cost more than a 10-mile move.
Money-Saving Tips for Your Move
- Book Early: Scheduling your move in advance can secure better rates and availability.
- Declutter Before Moving: Reducing the number of items can decrease both weight and packing time, leading to cost savings.
- Compare Quotes: While Unique Movers is confident in our low pricing, it’s a good idea to obtain estimates from multiple moving companies to find the best deal.
