Hire Top-Rated Local Movers in Your City

The cost of a local move with National Van Lines Agent can vary depending on several factors. The key variables include:

• Distance: While it’s a local move, the distance between your current home and the destination still plays a role in determining the price.
• Size of the Move: The number of rooms, furniture, and items being moved will impact the cost. Larger homes or apartments with more items will require more time and resources, driving up the cost.
• Time of Year: Peak moving seasons (typically summer months and holidays) can lead to higher rates due to increased demand. Off-peak seasons may offer more competitive pricing.
• Packing Services: If you require full packing or specialized packing (like for fragile items), this will add to the cost.
• Additional Services: Any additional services, such as temporary storage, disassembly/assembly of furniture, or special handling for items like pianos or antiques, will increase the price.
• Labor: The amount of labor needed will depend on the size of your home and the number of movers required. More movers or a larger crew may be needed for bigger jobs.

On average, local moves may cost between $500 and $2,000, but the exact price will depend on the specifics of your move.

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 as the weather is nice and the kids are out of school. Because summer is the busiest time of year for moving, expect higher costs. If you need to move during the summer, book months ahead to get a good price.

When considering hiring a mover be sure to ask the important questions that directly impact your move. We 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 gauge public opinion about their services. Next, make sure your 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, then they cannot legally move outside the state lines.

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 all year-round. Moving demand generally slows down during the winter and fall because of the colder weather and changes in precipitation. However, if the weather is nice during your fall and winter, we suggest scheduling your move during this time. There’s also a chance for savings when there is less demand for moving services.

• Studio or one-bedroom apartment, expect the move to take 2–4 hours.
• Two-bedroom house or apartment, expect the move to take 4–6 hours.
• Three-bedroom move, expect the move to take 6–8 hours.
• Bigger homes can take 12–24 hours, depending on what you’re moving and where you’re moving.
