How much does a local move cost with National Van Lines?

According to our 2021 data, the average cost of a local move with a National Van Agent is around $1,400. This price ranges from $700 to $3,000. Your true price depends on the services you choose, the number of movers in your crew, the distance of your move, the items you are moving, and when you need your move completed.

When is the cheapest time to hire a local mover?

If you're looking to save money, September to April is the best time to schedule a move. The summer is considered peak season for movers because the weather is nice and the kids are out of school. Because summer is the busiest time of the year, expect higher costs. If you need to move during the summer, book months ahead to get a good price.

How do I find a reputable local mover?

To find a reputable local mover, we suggest getting referrals from your friends and family. We also suggest checking out referral sources for any moving companies you are considering. Seeing their ratings on Yelp or the BBB is a good way to see their public opinion. Next, make sure your movers are licensed and insured.

How do I know if my movers are licensed and insured?

All legitimate local moving companies (intrastate movers) must have a license with their state's Department of Transportation. Having a license with the DOT means the company has to offer liability protection. If they do not have a license with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, they cannot move outside state lines.

When is the best time for a local move?

The best time to move locally depends on where you live. This usually means the spring and summer months in the United States. However, there are states where the weather is nice year-round. Moving demand slows down during the winter and fall because of colder weather and changes in precipitation. If the weather is nice during your fall and winter, we suggest scheduling your move during this time for potential savings.

How long does a local move take?

For a studio or one-bedroom apartment, expect the move to take 2 to 4 hours. For a two-bedroom house or apartment, expect the move to take 4 to 6 hours. For a three-bedroom move, expect the move to take 6 to 8 hours. Bigger homes can take 12 to 24 hours, depending on what you're moving and where you're moving.
