Frequently Asked Questions
-
- While moving costs vary according to the Pro, most moving companies charge a fixed hourly rate for the first 3 to 4 hours, with overage rates at smaller intervals (usually 15 or 30 minutes) beyond the base time period. Some may add surcharges for fuel and mileage, especially for long-distance relocations.
- Factors such as where you live, time of month or time of year can all affect your moving costs as well. Picking an off-peak time, such as the middle of the month, may help reduce your moving cost if it’s feasible.
- Your moving Pro will be able to provide you with a detailed quote and explanation of what’s included in their moving services.
-
- Professional movers usually start with a standard package that includes the services of 2 movers to transport and deliver all your items, usually with a base timeframe of 3 to 4 hours. Furniture and other delicate items will be wrapped and secured on the moving truck to prevent damage during transport.
- Additional items, such as packing supplies, are typically purchased separately, and additional charges may apply for heavy and oversize items such as pianos.
- Some moving companies offer packing services. Ask your Pro about whether packing services are available and confirm any additional costs that may apply.
-
- Moving companies will offer the same standard, federally-mandated insurance coverage, which covers your items at $0.60/item/LB. This coverage comes included with your move, and no deductible is required to access it in the event of a damaged item.
- For an additional cost, most movers will offer optional comprehensive insurance to cover some delicate items, such as uncrated glass, pressboard or particleboard, that are not included under standard insurance.
-
- While your Pro will do their best to accommodate your needs, booking professional movers early is always the best option – at least one month in advance of your moving date.
- Availability for movers is limited during peak periods, such as the beginning or end of the month. When possible, planning your move for an off-peak time, such as the middle of the month or in the fall or winter, may allow for more flexibility.
-
- For most professional movers, you will be able to pay using cash, credit card or debit card upon the completion of your move.
- If you have a preferred method of payment, please confirm with your Pro that they accept it before booking.
-
- Each moving company has its own cancellation policy and we encourage you to discuss it with your Pro prior to booking.
- Many moving companies, for instance, will require a non-refundable deposit upon booking their moving services, which is then deducted from the final bill.
